Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly, in particular to a refrigeration machine or heat pump, and to a method for operating this assembly.
  • Thermally driven sorption refrigeration systems possess a high energy-saving potential since as drive energy cost-effective waste or excess heat is utilised and in this way expensive mechanical drive energy can be saved.
  • the electrical networks can be relieved particularly in warm time and climate zones with high refrigeration requirement.
  • the systems can also be utilised as heat pumps which by means of burner heat raise additional environmental heat to a temperature level that is adequate for heating purposes.
  • Adsorption heat pumps or adsorption refrigeration systems realised with the help of such thermochemical reactors have the disadvantage compared with continuously operating absorption systems that the periodical temperature changes with cycled thermal masses result in efficiency losses which diminish the performance density or performance efficiency achieved by the adsorption heat pump or adsorption refrigeration system.
  • DE 10 2006 043 715 A1 discloses an adsorption heat pump, in which a layered heat store is employed.
  • Said layered heat store allows storage and reuse of sensible and latent heat that is offset in time during the adsorption cycle. The same allows a time-offset storage and reuse of sensible and latent heat during the adsorption cycle. Because of their large volume, such layered heat stores cannot be employed everywhere.
  • thermochemical reactor an adsorption heat pump or an adsorption refrigeration machine with a sorption module—here uniformly referred to as “thermochemical reactor”—with a temporary heat store, which comprises two sub-stores for receiving a heat medium fluid with two different temperature levels.
  • This temporary heat store serves for temporarily storing heat contained in the heat transfer fluid during the thermal cycling of the thermochemical reactor and during the switching of the thermochemical reactor between two different temperature levels connected with this.
  • thermochemical reactor is to mean a vessel with at least one working medium and an integrated heat transfer structure, with which at least dependent on a temperature peripheral condition and subject to heat removal or supply an exothermic or endothermic reaction or phase conversion can be caused to take place.
  • sorber “sorption reactor”, “thermochemical store” or “phase changer”.
  • the temporary heat store used here that is substantial for the invention allows the temporarily storage of the heat transfer fluid with the temperature level of a heat sync of the assembly in the second sub-store of the temporary heat store.
  • An increase in volume of the first sub-store in the case of the temporary heat store that is substantial for the invention is accompanied by a decrease in volume of the second sub-store and vice versa. Since the two volume-variable sub-stores have the same total volume, introducing the heat transfer fluid with the temperature level of the heat source into the first part space facilitates a discharging of the heat transfer fluid with the second temperature level from the second sub-store and vice versa. In this way, undesirable energy losses of the thermochemical reactor during the thermal cycling, i.e. during the switching between the two temperature levels of heat source and heat sync can be minimised. This results in an improved efficiency of the assembly according to the invention compared with conventional assemblies.
  • An assembly according to the invention in particular a refrigeration machine or a heat pump, comprises a first heat reservoir, which functions as heat source, and a second heat reservoir, which functions as heat sync.
  • the assembly furthermore, comprises a thermochemical reactor that can be or is thermally and fluidically connected to the heat reservoir.
  • the thermochemical reactor is an adsorption refrigeration machine or an adsorption heat pump or is a substantial functional component thereof.
  • the assembly comprises a heat transfer fluid circuit in which a heat transfer fluid for transporting heat between the two heat reservoirs and the thermochemical reactor is arranged.
  • a temporary heat store for temporarily storing the heat transfer fluid is provided.

Furthermore, the assembly comprises a valve system that is present in the heat transfer fluid circuit which comprises four adjustable valve devices.
  • the fluid inlet of the thermochemical reactor can be optionally connected to the fluid outlet of the first or second heat reservoir.

  • the valve devices 10 a to 10 b are again switched into the operating state shown in FIG. 1 by the control/regulating device 4 and a complete changeover cycle of the thermochemical reactor 5 is concluded.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further development of the vessel 103 of FIG. 5 .

  • FIG. 7 shows a further version of the example of FIG. 5 , in the case of which the vessel 103 is realised as a body 117 formed hose-like, which along an extension direction E does not extend in a straight line at least in sections.
  • the separating element 106 for forming the two volume-variable sub-stores 101 a , 101 b moveably lies against the inside 112 of the circumferential wall 111 of the hose-like body 117 along the extension direction E.
