Abstract
A thermal storage system based on the heat of adsorption of water in hygroscopic materials has been studied as a component of a solar space heating system. The aim of this project is to decrease the storage volume in comparison to a rock-bed storage system by increasing the stored energy density. The solar contribution of the system with an adsorbent bed is compared with the solar contribution of the same system with a rock-bed. The function of a storage system in an air-based solar heating system is discussed. Furthermore, some experimental results are presented.
