Open gas fired adsorption heat pump for space heating in conjunction with solar collectors.

Author(s) : HAUER A., DALLMAYER W.

Summary

Zeolite adsorbs water in an exothermic reaction. Heat of adsorption released in this process can be used for space heating applications. An open gas-fired adsorption heat pump based on this effect is able to use solar gains in winter as well as latent heat of water vapour produced in the building as low temperature energy source. It can match the heating demand of a low-energy building and reduce the number of on/off processes of a gas burner. The thermal COP of the system is between 1.05 and 1.63 depending on the availability of the low temperature energy source. In addition the system can be used as a solar desiccant cooling system in the summer with minor changes in construction.
