The main objectives of the authors’ current paper include thermal sizing of a regenerative concrete heat exchanger for coupling of the biomass plants and the heat engine like ORC (Organic Rankine Cycles). The main challenge for regenerators is the temperature difference between charging and discharging process. Heat energy charging can be done by hot flue gas or high temperature fluid circulation through solid modules of storage. Optionally heat supply can be obtained by using of electrical energy. The concrete modules contain embedded piping for charging and discharging and definition of the geometric parameters like piping size and distance represented in current work. The application of unsteady heat transfer equations for heat storage description was checked by comparison with experimental and theoretical results. The paper offers equations for evaluation of storage efficiency for different heat transfer coefficient, dimensions of storage and time duration of warming and cooling process.
