  • Compressed gas energy storage and harvesting system and method with storage of the heat by heat transfer fluid
    Patent number: 10443953
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an AACAES system and method in which a heat transfer fluid makes it possible to store heat. The heat transfer fluid, which comprises balls of heat storage material, circulates between two tanks: a hot tank and a cold tank, and passes through at least one heat exchanger.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 15, 2019
    Assignee: IFP ENERGIES NOUVELLES
    Inventor: Christophe Pourima
  • Compressed gas energy storage and harvesting system and method with storage of the heat by means of a radial exchanger
    Patent number: 10443952
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an AACAES system and method in which balls make it possible to store heat. The heat exchanges are produced by means of at least one radial heat exchanger, in which the balls and a first fluid circulate, the first fluid passing radially through means for circulating the balls.
