Using chemical reactions to store energy is not a new concept. But the idea of using chemical reactions entirely in the liquid phase at low temperatures for relatively small scale storage applications, i.e., for space heating, is relatively undeveloped. In this study, the method of how chemical reactions could be used to store energy without generation and storage of new phases is described. Criteria a reaction must satisfy to successfully store energy are presented and several Diels-Alder reactions are evaluated in terms of these criteria. All this time, no reactions have been identified that meet all the criteria. 6 refs.
