A hydrogen storage reactor based on phase change material and heater cooperative temperature control

By employing a layered coupling structure in the hydrogen storage reactor, the hydrogen storage metal material works in concert with the phase change material and the electric heater, solving the problem of the separation between the hydrogen storage heat release and hydrogen release heat supply processes. This achieves efficient heat utilization and the stability and continuity of the hydrogen release process, thereby improving the overall efficiency and stability of the hydrogen storage system.

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of solid-state hydrogen storage technology and discloses a hydrogen storage reactor based on synergistic temperature control of phase change material and heater. The reactor includes an outer cylinder, a cap, a hydrogen inlet / outlet, a guide pipe, and multiple hydrogen storage unit modules. The cap is located at the upper end of the outer cylinder, and the hydrogen inlet / outlet is located at the top of the cap. The guide pipe communicates with the hydrogen inlet / outlet. Multiple hydrogen storage unit modules are disposed within the outer cylinder, and from the inside out, each module includes a filling zone A, a filling zone B, and a filling zone C. The filling zone A is filled with a hydrogen storage metal material, which has a porous structure and a circular rib structure formed on its outer periphery. The filling zone B surrounds the filling zone A and is filled with a phase change material. By constructing a layered coupling structure between the filling zones A, B, and C, a synergistic effect of passive heat storage and active heat replenishment is achieved.
