Thermal energy storage with zeolite for heating and cooling applications.

Author(s) : HAUER A.

Summary

Open adsorption heat pumps can be used as thermochemical heat storage systems. Such systems are interesting because of their high achievable storage capacity and coefficient of performance. They are able to provide heating as well as air conditioning. An open sorption system based on the adsorption of water vapour on solid adsorbents using zeolite 13X has been installed in a school building in Munich, Germany and connected to the local district heating net. The zeolite system is under operation since the heating period 1997-1998 in the heating applications. An air-conditioning application is also presented.
