Problems solved by technology

[0007] Rare earth series AB 5 Type hydrogen storage alloy is an alloy that can better meet the above properties at present, among which LaNi 5 is a typical representative, LaNi 5 The hydrogen storage capacity is 1.4wt%, and the overall performance is good. Its defect is that the equilibrium hydrogen pressure does not meet the requirements of hydrogen storage alloys for air conditioners. LaNi 5 Alloying alloys, or adjusting the stoichiometric ratio to achieve a suitable equilibrium hydrogen pressure within the operating temperature range. For example, Japan used yttrium instead of lanthanum to increase the equilibrium hydrogen pressure of the alloy, and developed La 0.6 Y 0.4 Ni 4.8 mn 0.2 alloy
However, while increasing the equilibrium hydrogen pressure of the alloy, the hydrogen absorption capacity of the alloy is reduced, and the hysteresis of the hydrogen absorption and desorption of the alloy and the slope of the alloy platform are greatly increased, which is extremely unfavorable for improving the effective hydrogen circulation and efficiency of the metal hydride air conditioner. of
[0008] The inventors have developed La 0.6 Nd 0.4 Ni 4.8 mn 0.2 Alloy, although it increases the effective hydrogen absorption capacity of the alloy, greatly reduces the hysteresis of the hydrogen absorption and desorption of the alloy and the slope of the alloy platform, but the hydrogen absorption time is greatly increased, which is helpful for improving the effective hydrogen circulation and efficiency of the metal hydride air conditioner still extremely unfavorable

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a metal hydride hydrogen storage alloy for air conditioners, which is a compound of rare earth metal or lanthanide. Background technique [0002] As the core material of air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigerators, the refrigerant Freon has excellent performance. However, Freon destroys the ozone layer and causes serious environmental problems, so it is listed as an obsolete product. In order to replace Freon, scholars from all over the world are vigorously developing various refrigerants, and have made great progress. The energy transfer system using hydrogen as the working medium and relying on metal hydride as the energy conversion material is one of the methods with good development prospects. Its advantages are energy saving, environmental protection, no vibration, no noise, good reliability, and the working temperature range big. [0003] The principle of the hydride hydrogen storage material and its air conditioner ...
