Chemical Energy Transportation of Waste Heat for Heating/Drying and Cooling/Dehumidifying

Abstract:

From the viewpoints of energy and environmental problems, an effective energy utilization system for thermal energy management using chemical heat pump container (CHPC) is proposed. In this system, waste heat etc. is stored as chemical energy in CHPC. The stored heat is transported with almost no heat loss by CHPC transportation using truck, train, ship etc. At heat supply area, the stored heat is upgraded to higher temperature heat for heating/drying or lower temperature heat for cooling/refrigerating/dehumidifying without adding extra energy by the chemical heat pump function. In this study, the simulation on local recycling energy system using CHPC for heating/drying and cooling/dehumidifying was performed. The heat storing/releasing characteristics, the energy efficiencies and the CO2 emissions were shown. As a result, the system using CHPC was found to be much more effective than domestic boiler system and even more effective than similar transportation systems using latent heat storage container etc. Especially, the system using CHPC can supply hot-heat and cold-heat effectively without adding extra energy at heat supply area.
