Modeling and Experimental Investigation of a New-Type of Thermochemical Transformer Based on the Coupling of 2 Solid-Gas Reactions
The feasibility of a thermochemical transformer based on the coupling of two solid-gas reactions has been demonstrated by a 1 kW experimental laboratory plant. A model has been built taking into account the dynamic coupling of the two reactors by the gaseous phase, and the consumption of the reactive medium in each reactor. The model has been validated by experimental results and is capable of simulating the running mode of the process for a series of working cycles.
