Parametric investigations on compressor-driven metal hydride based cooling system

Review of thermal management technology for metal hydride reaction beds

“…It is the better choice in structural Increasing the number of embedded tubes can reduce the thermal resistance of the reaction bed and remove a large amount of heat in a short period. 51,52 When the number of embedded tubes is raised from 24 to 60 (Fig. 4), 53 the average bed temperature reaches the coolant temperature more quickly and the hydrogen absorption time is decreased by 42.4%.…”

Numerical analysis of candidate materials for multi-stage metal hydride hydrogen compression processes

“…Compared to the conventional mechanical compressor, the hydrogen compressor based on reversible metal hydride presents many merits, such as the one of being able to export hydrogen over a wide range of pressure with high purity, free of mechanical movement or friction, low energy consumption, noiseless operation and easy and cheap maintenance [9][10][11][12]. The candidate materials for a metal hydride compressor need to present certain properties such as large reversible hydrogen storage capacity, flat plateau pressure, small hysteresis factor and high compression ratio [13][14]. Meanwhile, admirable reaction kinetics and pulverization resistance are also necessary [15].…”
