MULTISTAGE METAL HYDRIDE HYDROGEN COMPRESSOR

摘要

The invention discloses a multistage metal hydride hydrogen compressor, which includes: at least two compression modules where every module comprises at least two compression stages, each of which is formed by one or more metal hydride containers equipped with at least one hydrogen input – output pipeline and heating – cooling means; gas-distributing system comprising: gas manifolds of the compression stages; a hydrogen input manifold connected to the gas manifolds; intermediate gas manifolds equipped with buffers; a hydrogen output manifold; heating – cooling system which provides alternative heating and cooling of the heating – cooling means of the metal hydride containers; and a control system providing the operation of the heating – cooling system during pre-set periods of time.
