Abstract:
Thermochemical heat storage materials for space heating applications such as, ZnSO4 offer high energy storage density, low cost and clean mean of long-term solar energy storage. Herein, we studied the ZnSO4 hydrated salt as potential heat storage material at low temperature and furthermore observed the impact of temperature and concentration on the dehydration/hydration process and enthalpy. The thermal behavior of ZnSO4 center dot 7H(2)O was investigated by applying various dehydration temperatures. The results showed that 85% of water loosed at 100 degrees C temperature, which released 699 J/g (1.37 GJ/m(3)) in the dehydration process. The hydration process of ZnSO4.7H(2)O at 100 degrees C recovered 541 J/g enthalpies, which delivered 1.1 GJ/m(3). Similarly, the dehydration result obtained at 150 degrees C was the same as showed at 100 degrees C. However, the enthalpy of hydration was 20% less than prior. The XRD result showed that at higher temperatures agglomeration appeared followed by Van der Waals forces which affect the hydration rate. The result of good cyclability and larger water sorption performance of ZnSO4 make them a promising and suitable for heat storage in space heating application, which can be used as thermochemical heat storage material for thermal storage devices.
