A New Concept of an Electrochemical Heat Pump System: Theoretical Consideration and Experimental Results

  • Chapter
Electrochemical Engineering and Energy

Abstract

A new concept of an electrochemical heat pump system is described which consists of two identical electrochemical cells operating at different temperatures in opposite directions. The principle is based on the exchange of reversible heat (TΔRS) of the reaction. The thermodynamics and efficiency of such a system are considered for different cell reactions. Calori-metric measurements, using commercial accumulators and non-commercial redox cells, were carried out to prove the validity of the theoretical predictions with respect to heat exchange and efficiency. The efficiency of a heat pump with the redox system Cu/CuSO4//Na3[Fe(CN)6], Na4[Fe(CN)6]/Pt was found to be comparable to that of conventional heat pump systems.
