Integrated heat exchange and heat storage system using low-temperature reactions

Abstract

An integrated heat exchange and heat storage system using thermochemical reactions which comprises a first plurality of parallel adjacent tubes containing an element for storing and yielding heat; and a second plurality of tubes parallel to said first plurality of tubes and interposed therebetween and containing a fluid heat vehicle, the first and second plurality of tubes being disposed in a receptacle whose major axis extends parallel to the axis of the tubes, the voids between the various tubes being filled with a stagnant liquid serving to facilitate heat exchange between the fluid heat vehicle and the element for storing and yielding heat.
