Optimal metallic salt-ammonia reaction couple for single effect solid-gas chemical heat pump

Abstract

A comparison of the coefficient of performance (COP), the specific cooling power (SCP) and the reactor volume per output power was carried out with numerous metallic salt-ammonia couples for single effect solid-gas chemical heat pumps. Optimal reaction couples could be selected in terms of COP, SCP and reactor volume at: each application domain of deep freezing (-15 similar to-20 degrees C), ice making (-10 similar to-5 degrees C) and air conditioning (0-10 degrees C).
