Electrochemically driven phase transformation for high-efficiency heat pumping
To reduce energy consumption and improve energy utilization in space conditioning, advanced heat pumping technologies are needed. The chemical looping heat pump (CLHP) is a promising thermodynamic cycle that has theoretically shown the potential to achieve a cooling coefficient of performance (COP c ) increase of over 20% relative to conventional vapor compression systems. In this paper, the key process of the CLHP is experimentally demonstrated, and the system performance and non-ideal behavior are predicted using the component-level models. The results show the feasibility of electrochemical phase change of a working fluid; the peak COP c was 7.64 with a cooling capacity of 3.6 mW (cooling density of 2.57 W m -2 ) at both sink and source temperature of 23°C based on laboratory experiments. The COP c can theoretically reach up to 13 at a temperature lift of 15°C as long as an electrochemical cell can achieve a greater degree of conversion.
