Advanced concept of a metal hydride solid sorption device for combined heating and air-conditioning.

Author(s) : WILLERS E., GROLL M., ISSELHORST A., JONG W. de

Summary

The use of thermally driven solid sorption devices can contribute significantly to an environmentally clean energy technology. Promising applications are the generation of medium temperature heat (with a heat pump), or of cold (with a refrigerator or an air conditioner) or their simultaneous generation, by using a high temperature heat source. Various design schemes of metal hydride devices for combined heating and air-conditioning have been investigated, viz. single-stage and double-stage systems, double-effect systems and systems employing the multi-hydride-thermal wave principle. The latter one seems to be the most promising.
