Abstract: This study is concerned with the development of a heat pump incorporating thermochemical energy storage. The heat pump was designed to utilise the cheap [`]Economy 7' electric tariff with ambient air as the heat source. A domestic-sized heat pump, featuring two-stage compression and incorporating a NH3/liquidised CaCl2 system, was built and tested. The average value of the coefficient of performance was 2·8. Experimental tests of liquidised absorbent systems are described together with an analysis of the results.
