REINFORCED HEAT CONDUCTING DEVICE FOR HYDROGEN SOURCE SUPPLY DEVICE, AND HYDROGEN SOURCE SUPPLY DEVICE HAVING THE REINFORCED HEAT CONDUCTING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen source supply device capable of easily and conveniently releasing hydrogen. SOLUTION: This hydrogen source supply device 20 for a fuel cell comprises a reinforced heat conducting device 10 and at least one pressurized bottle 22 filled with metal hydride and having an outer diameter. The reinforce heat conductive device 10 comprises a slender, cylindrical and columnar metal body 12 having an inner diameter and a plurality of expandable ribs 14 longitudinally extending along the longitudinal direction of the metal body 12 and formed integrally with the metal body 12. Since the outer diameter of the pressurized bottle 22 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the metal body 12, when the pressurized bottle 22 is inserted through the metal body 12, the pressurized bottle 22 forcibly expands the ribs 14 to fit the metal body 12 close to the pressurized bottle 22.
