A container (10, 510) for storing hydrogen comprises an outer shell (18) having an inlet (26) for inputting hydrogen gas and an outlet (28) for outputting hydrogen gas. A thermally conductive liner (20, 31) lines an interior of the outer shell (18). An inner hydride core (30, 34) is in communication with the inlet (26) and the outlet (28) for storing the hydrogen gas. Coolant lines (117) are in thermal communication with the storage container (10, 510). A thermal management controller (100) determines whether the container (10, 510) is in a dispensing mode or a refueling mode. If the container (10, 510) is in the dispensing mode, the coolant lines (117) may be routed to a first heat exchanger (108) that is in thermal communication with a propulsion unit (106) of a vehicle. However, if the container (10, 510) is in the refueling mode, the coolant lines (117) may be routed to a second heat exchanger (112) associated with a temperature that is less than or equal to the ambient temperature outside of the vehicle. |
