Abstract

Thermal battery has attracted intensive interest in renewable/waste energy utilization since it can balance the mismatch between energy supply and energy demand in terms of timing and intensity. Absorption thermal battery stands out due to its sound comprehensive storage performance and flexible applications. Compression-assisted absorption thermal battery is a promising technology to enhance the energy storage density, efficiency, and lower the charging temperature. To further facilitate the development of compression-assisted absorption thermal battery, an optimization is conducted on compressor displacement. Results indicated that the best compressor displacement is 288 m3/h for the absorption thermal battery cycle with both charging and discharging compression, and 964 m3/h for the absorption thermal battery cycle with discharging compression only.
