Abstract

A reactor for a chemical heat pump including a sealed container provided with a heating and cooling system and having an inside wall, and a solid reagent having an outer surface and disposed in the container, which solid reagent reacts reversibly with a reagent gas inside the container, the solid reagent having dimensions such that a space is defined between the outer surface of the solid reagent and the inside wall of the container. A fluid contact material occupies at least part of the space, the fluid contact material being a good conductor of heat and chemically inert relative to the solid reagent.
