Design of A Chemical Heat Pump System to Utilize Wasted Thermal Energy，Applying Porous Structures

Abstract

Towards the “Sustainable low CO2 emission world”, the research findings have been applied to extend to explore a new type of thermal energy storage system, employing a concept of chemical heat pumps. For this purpose a new original facilities have been designed and fabricated. Whereas many advantages were found in the new systems; e.g., high speed thermal energy absorption and generation, high cycle thermal fatigue failures must be always a critical problem for structural reliability in future.
