Zeolite/water adsorption heat pump in conjunction with solar collectors.

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

Summary

Zeolite absorbs 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 utilize 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.
