Abstract
Chemical heat storage system 1 based on an exothermic reaction that produces a solid product from a solid reactant and a gas reactant and an endothermic reaction that decomposes the solid product into the solid reactant and the gas reactant, includes: endothermic unit 3 that contains a slurry containing the solid product and that absorbs heat supplied from the outside to perform the endothermic reaction; exothermic unit 2 that contains a slurry containing the solid reactant and that performs the exothermic reaction to generate heat; and gas recovery supply unit 4 that recovers the gas reactant that has been decomposed in endothermic unit 3 and that supplies the gas reactant to exothermic unit 2.

A chemical heat storage system based on an exothermic reaction that produces a solid product from a solid reactant and a gas reactant and an endothermic reaction that decomposes the solid product into the solid reactant and the gas reactant, the chemical heat storage system comprising:
- an endothermic unit that contains a slurry containing the solid product and that absorbs heat supplied from an outside to perform the endothermic reaction;
- an exothermic unit that contains a slurry containing the solid reactant and that performs the exothermic reaction to generate heat;
- and
- a gas recovery/supply unit that recovers the gas reactant that has been decomposed in the endothermic unit and that supplies the recovered gas to the exothermic unit.
