Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) are unsaturated organic compounds used for chemical hydrogen storage. Using an equilibrium model of the LOHC N-ethylcarbazole, we discuss potential efficiency increases of hydrogen storage systems based on N-ethylcarbazole by the integration of low-temperature waste heat. N-ethylcarbazole is well suited for pressure swing operation with heat exchange between hydrogenation and dehydrogenation. We present and discuss kinetic data of the dehydrogenation reaction gathered in a tubular reactor that was mounted in different orientations and flow configurations. Similar maximum values of power density are reached in vertical and in horizontal orientation. Vertical orientation allows the favorable operation with counter-flow of the liquid carrier and the evolved hydrogen gas and radial heat transfer is significantly better than in horizontal orientation. In vertical reactor configurations, catalyst efficiency and operational stability are impaired at high void fractions. This issue can be reduced by dehydrogenation at elevated pressure and intermediate gas separation from the catalyst bed. (C) 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
