Cooling storage with a resorption process. Application to a box temperature control

Application of sorption heat pumps for increasing of new power sources efficiency

“…The increasing efficiency of new power sources (cogeneration, trigeneration systems, fuel cells, photovoltaic systems) is considered to be performed with the help of solid sorption heat pumps, refrigerators, accumulators of the heat and cold, heat transformers, fuel gas (natural gas and hydrogen) storage systems and efficient heat exchangers [3,4]. Low temperature power systems are generally significantly less expensive for producing compared to high temperature ones.…”

“…Actual resorption technologies have advantages and drawbacks with regard of their compactness, complexity, cost, the range of working temperature [29]. Resorption heat pumps and coolers based on reversible solid-gas sorption cycles could have interesting application for space cooling, when a high temperature waste heat is available and/or the exigencies of the harsh external environment necessitates thermal control of an object [4,30]. The resorption technology advantages at first are related to the nature friendly refrigerants such as water, ammonia, CO 2 (no CFC, HCFC, HFC) and at second they are thermally driven and can be coupled with waste heat, solar heat, burning fossil fuel, or biomass.…”

The third advantage of resorption systems relates with its ability to use a significant number of couples solid-gas [4]. Resorption systems have also a number of advantages in comparison with the conventional heat pumps or refrigeration machines.…”

High-efficient thermochemical sorption refrigeration driven by low-grade thermal energy

“…Moreover, based on the basic thermochemical resorption refrigeration cycle [38][39][40][41] , double-effect thermochemical resorption refrigeration systems can also benefit from the internal heat recovery as proposed by Spin- ner [42] and Goetz [43] . To accomplish such a task, four reactors and three different reactive sorbents were used.…”

Experimental study and comparison of thermochemical resorption refrigeration cycle and adsorption refrigeration cycle

“…However, little attention has been paid to the resorption refrigeration/heat pump technology based on the thermochemical resorption process (Lepinasse et al, 1994(Lepinasse et al, , 2001Choi et al, 1996;Goetz et al, 1997;Castaing and Neveu, 1998;Vasiliev et al, 2004). Lepinasse et al (1994) developed a thermochemical transformer based on the resorption process, and the feasibility of the resorption machine was demonstrated by an experimental laboratory plant.…”
