Hydration of Magnesium Carbonate in a Thermal Energy Storage Process and Its Heating Application Design

First ideas of applications design using magnesium (hydro) carbonates mixed with silica gel for day/night and seasonal thermal energy storage are presented. The application implies using solar (or another) heat source for heating up the thermal energy storage (dehydration) unit during daytime or sum...
