Energy storage systems are a crucial resource for unlocking the full potential of renewable energy sources. Open cycle adsorption thermal storage systems are economical and relatively simple devices that allow the heating of an air stream. This technology is characterized by high energy density and long-term storage capacity. This work explores a reactor operating with Zeolite 13X, focusing on its integration in practical applications and the challenges related to maintaining thermal comfort within the heated environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[1305,1358,1300,1307,1299],"targets":[1304,1314,1317],"pubblicazioni_tipologie":[773],"class_list":["post-203519","pubblicazioni","type-pubblicazioni","status-publish","hentry","tag-energy-efficiency-en","tag-fossil-fuels","tag-industrial-sector","tag-renewable-energy-en","tag-storage-en","targets-industrial-world","targets-press-media-en","targets-research","pubblicazioni_tipologie-isi-article-en"],"acf":{"projects":{"ID":188409,"post_author":"93","post_date":"2024-06-13 15:10:21","post_date_gmt":"2024-06-13 13:10:21","post_content":"","post_title":"Electrochemical and thermal storage technologies","post_excerpt":"The goal of this project is to develop electrochemical and thermal storage technologies with improved performance and greater environmental and economic sustainability by optimizing the use of resources, material formulations and synthesis methods, diagnostic and control processes, and prototype design.","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"electrochemical-and-thermal-storage-technologies","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-07-06 15:23:41","post_modified_gmt":"2024-07-06 13:23:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.rse-web.it\/progetti\/electrochemical-and-thermal-storage-technologies\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"progetti","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"order_posts":"","dont_show_search":false,"related_posts":false,"dont_show_hompage":false,"show_on_slider":false,"single_post_data":{"titolo_spot":"","post_content":"
Nowadays a major energy transition aimed at cutting CO2 emissions has begun, with the ambitious goal of drastically reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. In this context, energy storage systems play a key role in ensuring a stable, secure and time-aligned energy availability.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Open sorption thermal energy storages (TESs) can contribute to such transition, since they are simple and cheap devices able to provide a hot airflow with a high energy density and to store energy for long time. In this work, open sorption TES systems operated with Zeolite 13\ud835\udc4b are investigated with a focus on the integration in practical applications. First, the experimental analysis and modelling of the sole TES system is described.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then, the integration of the TES at system level is carried out. The analysis evidences that a significant reduction of storage capacity occurs if air humidification is necessary before the adsorption process or afterwards to keep adequate indoor comfort conditions for the occupants. For the exemplary case study considered, an energy density of 150 kWh\/m3 can drop to 40 kWh\/m3 in case of complete compensation of the adsorbed water through a humidifier.<\/p>\n

This paper provides useful guidelines for evaluating the performance of a TES integrated system in terms of specific energy and efficiency. It also identifies applications involving high latent loads (e.g., swimming pools, locker rooms) or for which low relative air humidity is required (e.g. interior of vehicles to prevent condensation on windows) as particularly beneficial for using a TES system.<\/p>\n","scarica_file":false,"link_estreno":[{"link_text":"Download Publication","link":"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S266612332300020X?via%3Dihub"}],"button":{"text":"","link":""},"referente_group":false,"data_emissione":"2023-04-29","autori":"S.
