  • Patent number: 9486763
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermochemical system comprising a reactor, or an enclosure for storing a solid reactive material capable of absorbing a gas, the reactive material and the gas being such that, when placed together, a chemical reaction occurs which results in the gas being absorbed by the reactive material, and a reverse chemical reaction occurs, wherein the gas absorbed by the reactive material is desorbed when heating means are applied to said reactive material when the latter has absorbed the gas. Said thermochemical system is characterized in that the reactor consists of an outer housing which is made of a composite material and which contains a sealed inner housing containing the reactive material, the heating means being arranged between the two enclosures.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9050575
    Abstract: 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.
