Abstract

Widespread application of solar energy is severely restricted to its instability in time and space. Heat storage system is considered to be one of the most effective pathways to achieve long-term heat supply. Among all the heat storage technologies, solution concentration difference storage technologies stand out for low heat loss and high energy density. By substituting condenser and evaporator in conventional absorption cycle with a high-pressure absorber and low-pressure generator, a resorption cycle could be established. Compared with absorption heat storage cycle, working pressure of resorption heat cycle is lower, making it possible to utilize low-pressure heat source. Two-stage heat source cycle is further proposed to lower working pressure and upgrading supply water temperature. Resorption energy storage cycle with solution concentration difference is established and studied. A prototype based on two-stage ammonia-water resorption heat storage cycle was set up and tested. The result shows that the constraint relation between ambient temperature and heat source temperature of the proposed system. In single-stage mode, the lowest working ambient temperature is 5 °C when heat source temperature is 90 °C. The lowest working ambient temperature could be declined to 0 °C when heat source temperature rises to 120 °C. In two-stage mode, the lowest working ambient temperature is 0 °C when heat source temperature is only 110 °C, which proves the adaptability of two-stage cycle. The highest ESCOP appears in the 15 °C–120 °C single-stage mode, which is 0.742. The highest COP is 1.324 under the same condition. The highest energy density occurs in two-stage mode, which is 467.07 kJ/kg when ambient and heat source is set as 15 °C, 120 °C. The advantage that two-stage mode could enlarge solution concentration difference is verified.
