Abstract
The Chemical and Thermal Storage Branch of the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), Office of Conservation, Division of Energy Storage Systems, has implemented a National Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Program. The objective of this National Program is to develop and disseminate thermal and thermochemical energy storage technology. The Program consists of three subprograms: Low-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage Program--The objective is to develop sensible and latent heat technologies for low-temperature (less than or equal to 250/sup 0/C) applications. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage Program--The objective is to develop sensible and latent heat technologies for high-temperature (greater than or equal to 250/sup 0/C) applications. Thermochemical Energy Storage and Transport (TEST) Program--The objective is to develop reversible chemical reaction technologies for thermal energy storage and transport applications. The Chemical and Thermal Storage Branch has delegated the management responsibility for the Thermochemical Energy Storage and Transport Program to Sandia Laboratories, Livermore. (Oak Ridge National Laboratories and NASA Lewis Research Center are responsible for the Low-Temperature and High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage Programs, respectively.) The TEST Program objectives are given and research progress is reported.
