A thermochemical system having a reactor or a chamber for storing a reactive material capable of absorbing a gas that is taken into the reactor by a diffuser placed along the longitudinal axis of the latter. The reactive material and the gas are such that, when placed in the presence of each other, same are subjected to a reaction causing the reactive material to absorb the gas, and conversely, same are subjected to a reaction for desorbing the gas, absorbed by the reactive material, by heating applied to the latter when it has absorbed gas. The diffuser includes a gas supply mechanism, a mechanism for dispensing the gas into the reactive material, a filtration mechanism, and a heating mechanism. The various mechanisms form a sub-assembly that is attached onto the housing of the reactor by a sealing element.
Thermochemical system of the type comprising a reactor, or a storage enclosure of a reaction product capable of absorbing a gas, which is admitted into the reactor through a diffuser arranged along the longitudinal axis thereof, wherein the reaction product and the gas are such that when placed in the presence of each other they undergo a chemical reaction having the effect of gas absorption by the reaction product and, conversely, they undergo a reverse chemical reaction of desorption of the gas absorbed by the reaction product under the effect of heating applied to the latter when it has absorbed the gas, characterized in that the diffuser comprises the gas supply means, means for distributing the gas in the reaction product, filtering means, and heating means, said different means forming a subassembly which is fixed to the casing of the reactor by a closure member.
