Development of a modular zeolite-water heat pump.

Author(s) : LANG R., ROTH M., STRICKER M.

Summary

The working pair zeolite-water has very good characteristics for the heat pump application. The poor heat and mass transfer of the zeolite has to be compensated for by an appropriate design of the adsorber heat exchanger. Compact zeolite layers directly linked with the heat exchanger enable a high specific thermal output. The COP can be improved significantly by a modular design of the machine consisting of six to eight heat pump modules. The different modules, each operating in another phase of the sorption cycle, are connected in series by a heat transfer medium circuit so that a continuous thermal output together with high COP is achieved by this zeolite-water heat pump. The paper presents the design of the different components as well as the design of the entire modular machine. The COP is discussed.
