Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to construct an independence type high-efficient air-conditioning system by chemical heat pump driven only by solar energy, experimental studies were performed. As a result, most suitable for the solar chemical heat storage 1. The heat collection system and the control method, 2. The heat exchange system and the control method, 3. The reaction material were found, and based on those, 4.The most suitable chemical heat pump design and the operating method were decided by experiments and theoretical analysis. Finally, 5. The complete independence type solar chemical heat pump which included a heating medium driven by photovoltaic generation could show the performance which can construct high-efficient air-conditioning systems.
