  • IN-SITU REACTIVE ABSORPTION FOR EQUILIBRIUM-SHIFTING OF NON-CONDENSABLE GASES
    Publication number: 20230348772
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a salt composition for use in a thermochemical energy storage device, said salt composition comprising a base and a hygroscopic salt that can produce a gas by reacting with an acid. In further aspects the invention is directed to ab energy storage compartment and a thermochemical energy storage device comprising the salt composition.

  • INTERNAL CONFIGURATION FOR REDOX-BASED HEAT STORAGE SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20230139510
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a system for energy storage comprising a chemical combustion reactor comprising a reactor segment that comprises at least two porous active fixed beds that are separated by an inactive insulating layer which are at least partially surrounded by an insulating mantle. The active beds comprise a metal and/or oxide thereof.

  • Thermal Energy Storage Concept with High Energy Storage Density
    Publication number: 20230056787
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensible heat storage apparatus that comprises a core material that can be heated to a high temperature while it has been placed in a heat transfer fluid that absorbs essentially all the heat that is lost by any heat leakages from the core material. Accordingly, there is a very low, or almost absent overall heat loss, even though the sensible heat storage apparatus can store heat at a very high temperature. The gist of the invention is further that the high amount of heat can gradually be transferred to the HTF, which heat can in turn be put to use for domestic applications (e.g. domestic hot water and/or space heating) or for steam generation.

  • SYSTEM FOR ENERGY STORAGE INCLUDING A HEAT TRANSFER FLUID TANK
    Publication number: 20200173734
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a system for energy storage including a heat transfer fluid (HTF) tank containing a HTF such as water; a chemical combustion reactor that is at least partially filled with a metal and/or an oxide thereof, and that includes a gas inlet and a gas outlet; wherein the chemical combustion reactor is at least partially submerged in the HTF within the HTF tank.
