Application of potassium carbonate energy storage

Can potassium carbonate be used in heat storage applications?

In this study, the use of potassium carbonate in heat storage applications is inves- tigated experimentally. The most important objective is to form a kinetic model for the de/re-hydration reaction of the material. In order to do so, it is crucial to understand the behavior of the salt when it reacts with water vapor.

Can potassium carbonate be used as thermochemical heat storage in salt hydrates?

Thermochemical heat storage in salt hydrates is a promising method to improve the solar fraction in the built environment. One of the most promising salt hydrates to be used as thermochemical material is potassium carbonate. In this study, the use of potassium carbonate in heat storage applications is investigated experimentally.

Is potassium carbonate a suitable material for exothermic hydration?

Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is one of the potential candidate materials to efficiently store thermal energy due to its high heat storage capacity and cost-effectiveness. In the present study, a 3-dimensional numerical model is developed for the exothermic hydration reaction of K2CO3.

Is K2 CO3 a good thermochemical heat storage material?

Fabricated composites made up of K 2 CO 3, EG, and OP-10 are developed. Sorption kinetic and water uptake are improved. Heat and mass transfer are enhanced. Salt hydrates are ideal for long-term thermochemical heat storage in a built environment, where K 2 CO 3 is considered a promising thermochemical heat storage material.
