This paper focuses on the characterization and modeling of a solid/gas thermochemical reaction between a porous reactive bed and moist air flowing through it. The aim is the optimization of both energy density and permeability of the reactive bed, in order to realize a high density thermochemical system for seasonal thermal storage for house heating application. Several samples with different implementation parameters (density, binder, diffuser, porous bed texture) have been tested. Promising results have been reached: energy densities about 430-460 kWh m(-3) and specific powers between 1.93 and 2.88 W/kg of salt. A model based on the assumption of a sharp reaction front moving through the bed during the reaction was developed. It has been validated by a comparison with experimental results for several reactive bed samples and operating conditions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
