Abstract

A process for the energy-saving recovery of useful heat from the environment or from waste heat with the use of a reversible chemical reaction comprising, charging and discharging alternatingly and successively by pressure variation with hydrogen two vessels which are interconnected by lines and filled with a metal hydride and the hydride-forming metal and removing as useful heat the heat of compression and of hydride formation thereby liberated by heat exchange and replacing consumed heat of expansion and hydrogen evolution of the hydride by heat exchange with the environment or by waste heat.
