Abstract
The electrochemical heat pump is a heat pump using endothermic and exothermic reactions at lower temperature side and at higher temperature side, respectively. The heat pump is operated with electrical power input. In this study, we fabricated an experimental cell of 2-propanol dehydrogenation reactor and measured fundamental electrochemical characteristics. As a result, maximum endothermal quantity of 440 W/m^2 was achieved with Pt-Ru/carbon cloth electrodes. Continuous deterioration has been measured in the endothermic reactor. The experiments that clarifies the cause of deterioration have been conducted and the results are discussed.
