Resum

Salt hydrates for seasonal heat storage have emerged as an important research topic due to their potential to fulfil the heat demand in the residential and commercial building sector. However, the research undertaken has not yet covered key aspects of their fundamental thermal behaviour understanding e.g. experimentally validation, characterisation methodologies or material screening. The present investigation is aimed to identify promising thermochemical materials in the temperature range of 25–150 C, which are suitable for building applications and waste heat recovery. A list of ten salt hydrates has been screened through an experimental validation, which was developed and optimized for the specific working conditions. The salt hydrates were tested under operational conditions and key properties are assessed (thermal conductivity, specific heat, volume change, etc). Different case studies were used to narrow down to a list of final salts candidates under three theoretical working conditions scenarios for both open and closed systems. The cases of study prioritised high energy density (after one hydration/dehydration cycle), acceptable volume expansion and stability, which led to the final candidates. Magnesium sulphate was selected in the case of high energy density (>2 MJ/m3) and low cost (1 €/MJ), when lowering the energy density to 1 MJ/m3 calcium sulphate and copper sulphate were revealed as promising candidates for open and closed systems. While calcium nitrate was identified as a candidate along with magnesium sulphate when considering closed systems.
