Chemical Heat Pump Prototype

Abstract

The design of a chemical heat pump (CaC12-NH3) prototype is presented. From theoretical research on the modelling of the heat transfer phenomena and a simulation of the prototype operation, a performance analysis of the components has been accomplished. The difficulties of the heat transfer phenomena's modelling, within the reactor, are discussed. Primary results of experimentation are given.

XCl2/MWCNTs─Composites Based on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Metal Chlorides for NH3 Capture and Separation

“…Enibe and Iloeje 33 simulated the CaCl 2 −NH 3 absorber-refrigerant system by numerical calculations and calculated the particle porosity. Valkov et al 34 prepared a composite adsorbent by loading activated carbon into magnesium chloride to improve the NH 3 adsorption capacity of magnesium chloride, which led to a significant improvement in the NH 3 adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. Wang et al 35 studied the effect of a load of activated carbon on the NH 3 adsorption capacity of calcium chloride and found that activated carbon could greatly improve the NH 3 adsorption capacity of calcium chloride.…”
