REACTOR CHARGED WITH HYDROGEN STORAGE ALLOY

摘要

PURPOSE: A reactor charged with a hydrogen storage alloy is provided to facilitate an exothermic reaction and an endothermic reaction by increasing the contact area between the hydrogen storage alloy layer and hydrogen. CONSTITUTION: A reactor comprises a reaction container(51) connected to a distribution pipe serving as a hydrogen passage; and a hydrogen storage ally filling the reaction container, which performs an exothermic reaction during absorption of hydrogen and an endothermic reaction during discharge of hydrogen. The reaction container has an inner surface where a hydrogen storage alloy layer(53) is formed so as to increase the contact area between the hydrogen storage alloy layer and hydrogen.
