In a moving bed reactor, the bed was moved either periodically or continually with its fluid circulation identical to that of a fixed bed reactor . Circular moving bed reactor was investigated experimentally and found a reasonable energy storage density .
The stored energy is retrieved when required, through an exothermic reaction like hydration or adsorption or carbonation or oxidation, often referred to as the discharging process, by exposing the reactor to either moist air or CO 2 or O 2, all subject to the chosen TCM.
This work is similar to that of Hawwash et al. , in which the reactor design and area ratio were shown to impact the thermal performance and energy storage during the dehydration of a TCES material. Figure 16. Temporally and spatially averaged bed voidage as a function of superficial velocity and aspect ratio .
Due to the heat losses, the reactor could deliver only 50 W against the rated thermal output of 150 W. Michel, Mazet, and Neveu investigated the open sorption TCES prototype on large-scale basis using 400 kg of SrBr 2 ·6H 2 O as TCM and realized 388 kWh/m 3 energy storage density.
Fixed/packed bed reactor is the most commonly used type of reactor for open loop and closed loop TCES systems. In this type of reactors, the TCM in either powder or pellet form is arranged on the bed, through which the working fluid (e.g., gas, air) percolates. To facilitate the charging, such material is heated with a heat source.
Thermochemical Energy Storage Generally, thermochemical energy storage (TCES) uses a reversible system in which a source provides heat, for instance, to separate reactants (AB) into products (A and B). The products are stored separately at ambient temperatures, thereby eliminating the cost of insulation in storage containers.
