Abstract
The invention is directed to a system for energy storage comprising a chemical combustion reactor comprising a reactor segment that comprises at least two porous active fixed beds that are separated by an inactive insulating layer which are at least partially surrounded by an insulating mantle. The active beds comprise a metal and/or oxide thereof.
Claims20
A system for energy storage comprising a chemical combustion reactor (1) wherein a flow path (2) is provided in a longitudinal direction of said reactor, said reactor comprising a reactor segment (3) that comprises at least two porous active fixed beds (4) placed in the flow path, said porous active fixed beds comprising a metal and/or oxide thereof, wherein said at least two porous active fixed beds (4) comprising a metal and/or oxide thereof are configured for said metal and/or oxide thereof to undergo oxidation and reduction reactions, wherein said porous active fixed beds are separated by a porous inactive insulating layer (5), and wherein said porous active fixed beds and said porous inactive insulating layer are at least partially directly surrounded by an insulating mantle (6) in the longitudinal direction of said reactor, wherein said insulating mantle is surrounded by a reactor wall.
