Modelling and Simulation of Seasonal, Solar Driven Sorption Thermal Energy Storage in Cold Climate Residential Application
Isabelle Rose Kosteniuk
Abstract:In this study, a sorption thermal energy storage system was modelled in TRNSYS and integrated with existing building performance models of a single-detached residential dwelling equipped with an array of evacuated-tube solar thermal collectors in Ottawa, Ontario. The proposed sorption system consists of a closed, modular reactor layout and uses a lithium chloride composite-salt-in-porous-matrix/water working pair and an idealized evaporative heat source. Results of a parametric study found that an overall sola… Show more
