Development of a Thermal Storage System Based on the Heat of Absorption in Hydgroscopic Materials

摘要

The aim of the research work was to develop a heat storage system using a solid adsorbent as storage medium and to study the behavior of the system as a component of a total airbased solar heating system. The results were used in a computer simulation model describing the interaction between the components of a solar heating installation in terms of actual hourly heat flows during one year. The result was a guideline for the design of a prototype heat storage system from which the complete design of an air-based solar heating system emerged.
