This chemical heat pump includes two reaction sections R1 and R2 containing a thermal storage medium; an evaporation-condensation section D containing water or steam; connection sections H18 to H21 connecting the reaction sections R1 and R2 to the evaporation-condensation section D; and two fluid channels individually disposed so as to correspond to the reaction sections. A "first state in which the reaction section R1 is set to a heat-storing state and the reaction section R2 is set to a heat-release state" and a "second state in which the reaction section R1 is set to a heat-release state and the reaction section R2 is set to a heat-storing state" are alternately applied every time after a first period elapses. For each reaction section, in the heat-release state, a fluid is caused to flow from a first side to a second side of the corresponding fluid channel over a first period; and, in the heat-storing state, a fluid is caused to flow from the second side to the first side of the corresponding fluid channel over a second period. |
