A latent cool storage system for load management applications is currently under development at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This system utilizes a refrigerant gas hydrate as the storage medium and incorporates storage directly into the heat pump cycle. This paper reviews the chemistry of gas hydrates, describes the conceptual heat pump/cool storage system, and presents the results from experiments performed to understand and characterize the kinetics of the R-12 gas hydrate formation process.
