Abstract
As an advantageous technology with energy density much higher than that of water and phase change materials in various energy storage technologies, although the application of salt-solution energy storage has been fully studied, there is still a lack of further expansion in the substitution of cold and heat sources in buildings. Most of the research results are limited to the use of absorption heat pumps for cold and heat conversion, and there is a lack of further use of salt solutions as a "the fourth medium" to replace refrigerants or water or air to drive the indoor ends, further, to complete the 10 tasks of creating a suitable hot and humid indoor environment. Since the salt-solution has both heat exchange as a liquid through the temperature difference between it and the environment, and as a humidifier through the difference between its surface vapor pressure and the ambient water vapor partial pressure to cause moisture migration, a salt-solution as a medium of heat and moisture exchange end is conceivable and achievable. The energy density and efficiency of the system will be much higher than that of the traditional system if the salt-solution-only heat and moisture exchange end is 15 fully applied and the salt-solution-only transmission and distribution system is set up in the building. At the same time, due to the high density and durability of salt-solution energy storage, as well as the better adaptability between salt-solution regeneration and renewable energy, the all-salt-solution integrated thermal and humid environment construction system should have much higher performance than the traditional system in improving system efficiency, applying renewable energy, and storing energy across seasons, until the realization of zero-carbon buildings.
