the outlet of the collector in a conventional open-loop passive solar water-heating system …

An interesting thermochemical material for compact seasonal heat storage is magnesium
sulfate heptahydrate MgSO 4· 7H 2 O. Previous studies in the field showed that this material …

The heat storage system based on mixtures of salt hydrates and anhydrous salts described
in previous articles has been applied to Mg (NO3) 2• 6H2O and MgCl2• 6H2O (alone or in …

Supercooled salt hydrates could be applied for long-term solar thermal storage and then be
activated to release the stored latent heat on demand. To realize this strategy, the space …

Water vapor sorption in salt hydrates is a promising method to realize seasonal solar heat
storage in the residential sector. Several materials already showed promising performance …

Abstract Salt hydrates of MgSO 4, ZnSO 4 and SrCl 2 are promising materials for
