Abstract

Recent developments in water-based open sorption thermal batteries (STBs) have drawn burgeoning attention due to their advantages of high energy storage density and flexible working modes for space heating. One of the main challenges is how to improve heat release performance, e.g., longer stable heat output and effective output temperature. This paper aims to explore the heat release performance of sorption thermal batteries based on wave analysis methods. Zeolite 13X is used for the experimental investigation in terms of the relative humidity of inlet gas, system air velocity, and the length of the reactor. The results demonstrate that the optimal stable temperature output time of the sorption thermal battery experimental rig is 80 min, and heat release per unit volume reaches 115.6 MJ for the most appropriate reactor length. Thus, the optimal heat release time of the STB under the condition of various relative humidity and air velocities is 152 min and 182 min, respectively, and the corresponding stable heat release could reach 161.1 MJ and 136.5 MJ, respectively. Therefore, the heat release performance of STBs could be adjusted by adopting the wave analysis method, which would facilitate the reactor design and system arrangement.
