Thermochemical Energy Storage - Adsorption Storage Principles Adsorption heat storage belongs to the wider class of thermochemical heat storage. The principle on which this technology is based is the interaction between a liquid sorbate, usually water, and a solid sorbent (e.g. zeolites, silica gels, activated carbons). This interaction occurs between the sorbate molecules and the available surface of the solid, as represented in Figure 1. Moreover, adsorption heat storages can be considered an indirect TES process. Indeed, in this case, heat is employed to drive a desorption process, which means that energy is stored in the form of adsorption potential energy. Actually, heat is stored without any loss until the refrigerant fluid (adsorbate) is kept separated from the adsorbent. Generally, there are two system configurations for adsorption TES: closed and open cycle. Figure 2 and Figure 3 illustrate the working principles of the two configurations. Adsorption TES is considered quite a promising technology both for seasonal and daily storage applications, nevertheless, its commercial diffusion is still not completely developed, mainly for its cost as well as lack of technical knowledge at system level. This means that there is still need for development and research, in order to make the technology commercially competitive. The research activities in the field is currently carried out at materials, components and system level. Fig. 1.
