10. CONCLUSIONS
3 experimental set-ups based on the COMLEX COMPOUNDS NiCl2, MnCl2, BaCl2 – ACTIVE CARBON FIBERn fiber „Busofit“ demonstrated a possibility to have a RESORPTION HEAT PUMP with simultaneous heat (superheated water vapor T = 120 0C – 130 0C) and chilled water production (T = 3 0C – 50C) with COP (without internal and external heat recovery) ~1.2. Heat recovery by the heat pipe thermal regulation and internal mass regeneration between the reactors out of phase could increase this COP up to
The RESORPTION HEAT PUMP with a heat output W is an autonomous, portable device, allowing the user to apply this system in space, or on the ground (underwater, underground) and to supply, or postpone the heating and cooling capacity and to control the heat and cold output. The device has no moving parts, is noiseless and light.
The pressure control regulation of the heat pump action is the most reliable and simple.
