Abstract

This study investigates a solid chemisorption energy storage system utilizing a multi-component chloride salt composite adsorbent with a mass ratio of NH4Cl, CaCl2, MnCl2, and expanded natural graphite treated with sulfuric acid (ENG-TSA). The system features a shell-and-tube heat exchanger and analyzes refrigeration and heat storage performance under varying industrial low-temperature waste heat (60–110 °C) conditions, with condensation and evaporation temperatures of 0–25 °C and discharging temperatures of 40–60 °C. The results indicate that the multi-salt composite adsorbent reduces hysteresis between adsorption and desorption stages. The highest coefficient of performance (COP) and specific cooling power (SCP) were 0.461 and 328 W/kg, respectively, at an evaporation temperature of 25 °C and a charging temperature of 110 °C. Excessively long cycle times negatively affect system efficiency, with optimal performance achieved at a 40-min cycle. The findings highlight the system's effectiveness for industrial low-grade waste heat recovery, providing a solid foundation for future reactor design and material selection.
