Abstract

Thermochemical heat storage uses a reversible chemical reaction to store thermal energy. This thermal energy storage method has high energy density and allows long-term thermal energy storage. MgO/Mg(OH)2 is a promising reversible reaction for thermochemical heat storage systems. The performance of this reversible reaction inside a reactor plays a key role in its practical applications. The direct type heat transfer reactor is a novel design compared with an indirect powder bed reactor. It allows the gaseous heat transfer fluid to flow through the powder in order to break the heat transfer limitation from the heat exchanger between the MgO/Mg(OH)2 powder and the heat transfer fluid. In this study, we evaluated the performance of a direct type MgO/Mg(OH)2 reactor under various operating conditions. Parametric analyses indicated that the heat output is limited by the reaction rate rather than the heat transfer efficiency. Results also showed the best bed thickness in order to achieve the highest temperature output. Material characterization indicated that the MgO/Mg(OH)2 particles did not agglomerate with each other after 15 heat charging and discharging cycles.
