20090020264 | METHOD OF HEAT ACCUMULATION AND HEAT ACCUMULATION SYSTEM - A thermal storage method according to the present invention includes the steps of: (A) putting a first composition A, including an n-hydrate (where n is a hydration number) of an inorganic salt in solid phase and having a phase change temperature Tm of 100° C. or less, in a thermal storage material container; (B) heating the first composition A to a temperature T | 01-22-2009 |
20100263832 | Thermochemical Energy Storage System - A system is described for the thermochemical capture of heat energy and the transfer of this energy to a point of use using a cycle decomposing SO | 10-21-2010 |
20110067839 | System and Method for Rejecting Heat From Equipment Via Endothermic Isomerization - A system for rejecting heat from equipment using endothermic isomerization. includes a heat exchanger configured to receive an elevated-temperature process fluid and an isomerization compound capable of endothermic isomerization. When the system is in operation, heat from the elevated temperature process fluid is transferred to the isomerization compound and the isomerization compound endothermically isomerizes to a higher energy state form. A vehicle includes an engine and a body. The body houses a catalytic heat exchanger having an output in fluid communication with the engine, a pump for urging an isomerization compound into the heat exchanger, and a heat sink controller for controlling the pump. A method for rejecting heat from equipment using endothermic isomerization includes providing a compound capable of endothermic isomerization and transferring heat from a process fluid to the compound, such that the compound endothermically isomerizes to a higher energy level isomer. | 03-24-2011 |
20110226447 | Chemical heat accumulator - A chemical heat accumulator includes first- to Mth-stage heat storage units and a condensing part. Each heat storage unit includes a reaction vessel housing first reactant, a container housing second reactant, and a connection passage connecting the reaction vessel and the container for guiding the second reactant from the container to the reaction vessel. The connection passage is provided with an opening/closing member for opening and closing the connection passage. The reaction vessel of the Mth-stage heat storage unit is thermally connected with an object to be heated. The reaction vessel of a (N−1)th-stage heat storage unit is thermally connected with the container of an Nth-stage heat storage unit. M is an integer equal to or greater than 2, and N is an integer equal to or greater than 2 and equal to or less than M. | 09-22-2011 |
20130175006 | HYDROGEN TRANSFER HEATING/COOLING SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - A system is provided to change a temperature of an environment. A first plurality of containers store metal hydride, while a second plurality of containers store metal alloy capable of absorbing hydrogen atoms at a pressure less than a storage pressure of the metal hydride. Valved conduits link container pairs of metal hydride and metal alloy. When the valves are opened, hydrogen atoms desorbed from the metal hydride are transported through the conduit and are absorbed by the metal alloy. Desorption of the hydrogen cools the metal hydride containing container and heats the metal alloy containing container, which are each in thermal communication with the environment to cool or heat the environment via fluid circulation means. One or more container pairs may be operated to cool/heat the environment, while one or more other container pairs may be regenerated using a renewable power source. | 07-11-2013 |
