HEATING AND COOLING APPARATUS USING HYDROGEN STORAGE ALLOYS

摘要

PURPOSE: A heating and cooling apparatus is provided to achieve simplified system by eliminating the necessity of using an outdoor unit, while improving cooling and heating efficiency. CONSTITUTION: A heating and cooling apparatus comprises a pair of reactors(110,120) for cooling or heating the ambient air through the exothermic reaction and endothermic reaction between the hydrogen storage alloy and hydrogen; a hydrogen flow pipe(200) having an end connected to one reactor and the other end connected to the other reactor, which serves as a hydrogen flow channel; a pumping unit(300) mounted on the hydrogen flow pipe, which selectively delivers hydrogen to each reactor; an air flow pipe for guiding flow of indoor or outdoor air; a blower unit(500) for compulsorily blowing the air flowing along the air flow pipe; an air flow guide unit(600) disposed in the space formed between the reactors, which determines flow direction of the air which is heat exchanged while passing through the reactors; and a housing(700) forming an outer appearance of the heating and cooling apparatus, which has both ends open toward the indoor or outdoor area.
