The objective of this work is to test and characterize a lab-scale silica gel/water test bench realized at POLIMI labs and operating as Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system for domestic applications. Several charging and discharging cycles were performed setting 20-35, 30-50, and 80-90 °C as heat transfer fluid temperatures for the evaporation, condensation/adsorption and desorption processes. The system performance is evaluated in terms of energy efficiency, charge and discharge rate, and operating cost.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to test and characterize a lab-scale silica gel/water test bench realized at POLIMI labs and operating as Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system for domestic applications. Several charging and discharging cycles were performed setting 20-35, 30-50, and 80-90 °C as heat transfer fluid temperatures for the evaporation, condensation/adsorption and desorption processes. The system performance is evaluated in terms of energy efficiency, charge and discharge rate, and operating cost.
