Y. Kato et al., STUDY OF CHEMICAL HEAT-PUMP WITH REACTION SYSTEM OF MAGNESIUM-OXIDE WATER - ACTIVATION OF MAGNESIUM-OXIDE HYDRATION, Kagaku kogaku ronbunshu, 19(6), 1993, pp. 1213-1216
A chemical heat pump using the reaction system of magnesium oxide/wate
r was studied as a thermal storage system by kinetic analysis. This he
at pump has been rarely studied because of the low activity of MgO hyd
ration. Therefore, an experimental analysis for activation of MgO hydr
ation was carried out. The result shows that the activity of MgO dehyd
rated at low temperature (below 623K) is several times higher than tha
t of commercial MgO. The possibility was shown that the reaction syste
m of MgO/H2O is applicable, and the working range of such chemical hea
t pumps was shown.
