Abstract
This chemical heat pump includes two reaction sections Rand Rcontaining a thermal storage medium; an evaporation-condensation section D containing water or steam; and two fluid channels individually disposed so as to correspond to the reaction sections. A 'first state in which Ris set to a heat-storing state and Ris set to a heat-release state' and a 'second state in which Ris set to a heat-release state and Ris set to a heat-storing state' are alternately applied every time after a first period elapses. For each reaction section, in the heat-release state, a fluid is caused to flow from a first side to a second side of the corresponding fluid channel over a first period; and, in the heat-storing state, a fluid is caused to flow from the second side to the first side of the corresponding fluid channel over a second period.
