| Content Provider | The Lens |
|---|---|
| Abstract | The present invention relates to a system and a method for exchanging heat between a fluid (F) and heat storage particles (3). The exchange system comprises an exchange zone (2) in which the fluid (F) and the heat storage particles in a fluidized bed flow as a countercurrent flow and a cross flow. The invention also relates to a compressed gas energy storage and restoration system and method using the heat exchange system. |

| Claim | 1 - 20 . (canceled) A heat exchange system for exchange of heat between a fluid and heat storage particles comprising at least one heat exchange zone in which the fluid and a fluidized bed including the heat storage particles flows, means for circulating the fluid which is configured to provide a cross-flow circulation of the fluid with respect to the fluidized bed in the heat exchange zone which causes the fluid to circulate from an outlet toward an inlet of the fluidized bed in the at least one heat exchange zone. The system as claimed in claim 21 , wherein the means of circulating the fluid comprises means of injecting and means of withdrawing the fluid which causes the fluid to circulate in a direction transverse to circulation of the fluidized bed. The system as claimed in claim 22 , wherein the means for circulating comprises a plurality of means for injecting and means for withdrawing the fluid which are combined to cause the fluid to circulate through each means for injecting and each means for withdrawing consecutively, the means of injecting and the means of withdrawing being disposed consecutively along the heat exchange zone, the fluid flowing from a means for withdrawing being introduced into the exchange zone by a means of injecting located upstream relative to circulation in the fluidized bed. The system as claimed in claim 21 , wherein the at least one heat exchange zone comprises a pipe. The system as claimed in claim 22 , wherein the at least one heat exchange zone comprises a pipe. The system as claimed in claim 23 , wherein the at least one heat exchange zone comprises to a pipe. The system as claimed in claim 21 , wherein gravitation contributes to the fluid flow in the heat exchange zone. The system as claimed in claim 22 , wherein gravitation contributes to the fluid flow in the heat exchange zone. The system as claimed in claim 23 , wherein gravitation contributes to the fluid flow in the heat exchange zone. The system as claimed in claim 24 , wherein gravitation contributes to the fluid flow in the heat exchange zone. The system as claimed in claim 27 , wherein the heat exchange zone is inclined relative to a horizontal orientation. The system as claimed in claim 21 , wherein the particles comprise phase change materials. The system as claimed in claim 21 , wherein the fluid circulates in an upward direction. The system as claimed in claim 21 , wherein the fluid is a gas. The system as claimed in claim 34 , wherein the fluid comprised air. The system as claimed in claim 21 , comprising at least two storage reservoirs for storing the heat storage particles with the at least one heat exchange zone being located between the reservoirs. The system as claimed in claim 36 , comprising a first storage reservoir for storing the particles, a second storage reservoir for storing the particles, at least one first heat exchange zone disposed between the first and second reservoirs and a third storage reservoir for storing the particles, and at least one second heat exchange zone disposed between the second and the third reservoirs. The system as claimed in claim 37 , comprising means for transporting the heat storage particles from the third reservoir to the first reservoir. A compressed gas energy storage and recovery system, in accordance with claim 21 , comprising at least one gas compressor at least one compressed gas storage, and at least one expander for expanding the compressed gas to generate energy, wherein the compressed gas energy storage and recovery system comprises at least one heat exchange system. A method for exchanging heat between a fluid and heat storage particles, comprising: a) a fluidized bed including the heat storage particles circulated in a heat exchange zone; and b) the fluid is circulated in the heat exchange zone as a crossflow with respect to the fluidized bed from an outlet toward an inlet of the fluidized bed in the heat exchange zone. The method as claimed in claim 40 , comprising using gravity to contribute to circulation of the fluid in the heat exchange zone. The method as claimed in claim 40 , wherein the fluid is circulated in a direction transverse to a direction of circulation of the heat storage particles in the fluidized bed. The method as claimed in claim 41 , wherein the fluid is circulated in a direction transverse to a direction of circulation of the heat storage particles in the fluidized bed. The method as claimed in claim 40 , wherein the heat storage particles are stored in a first reservoir prior to the heat exchange and the heat storage particles are stored in a second reservoir after heat exchange in the heat exchange zone. The method as claimed in claim 41 , wherein the heat storage particles are stored in a first reservoir prior to the heat exchange and the heat storage particles are stored in a second reservoir after heat exchange in the heat exchange zone. The method as claimed in claim 42 , wherein the heat storage particles are stored in a first reservoir prior to the heat exchange and the heat storage particles are stored in a second reservoir after heat exchange in the heat exchange zone. The method as claimed in claim 44 , comprising: a) storing the heat storage particles in the first reservoir; b) exchanging heat is between the heat storage particles stored in the first reservoir and fluid; c) storing the heat storage particles leaving the heat exchange in the second reservoir; d) exchanging heat between the particles stored in the second reservoir and the fluid; and e) storing the particles leaving the heat exchange in the first reservoir or in a third reservoir. The method as claimed in claim 47 , comprising transporting the heat storage particles from the third reservoir to the first reservoir. A compressed gas energy storage and recovery method in accordance with claim 21 comprising: a) compressing a gas; b) cooling the compressed gas by exchange of heat in the heat exchange system; c) storing the cooled gas; d) heating the cooled compressed gas by recovery of heat from the heat exchange system; and e) expanding the heated compressed gas to generate energy. |
