Abstract

The present invention provides a method of using a thermal shock probe, such a thermal shock probe and application of this method to the control of a heat pump. The method of using a thermal shock probe formed of a thermocouple associated with a heating element, is characterized in that it is used for monitoring, in a solid-gas reactor (1,2), the chemical reaction between a porous mixture and a gas by applying a heat flux variation and processing the response of the thermocouple.
