METHOD OF PRODUCING HYDROGEN OCCLUDING MATERIAL AND HYDROGEN OCCLUDING/DISCHARGING DEVICE

摘要

A hydrogen occluding/discharging device which permits a hydrogen occluding material to occlude hydrogen and causes the occluded hydrogen to be discharged from the hydrogen occluding material, comprising a pressure-resistant vessel (2), a cartridge (3) whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the pressure-resistant vessel, which has an outer peripheral wall (3a) and a bottom wall (3b), both being made of porous material, and which is capable of storing carbonaceous material therein, legs (6) which position the cartridge (3) such that the bottom wall is spaced from the bottom surface (2b) of the pressure-resistant vessel (2) and holds the cartridge within the pressure-resistant vessel (2) such that the outer peripheral wall is spaced from the inner surface (2a) of the pressure-resistant vessel, gas passageways (11a, 11b) connected to the pressure-resistant vessel (2), valves (12a, 12b) installed in the gas passageways, and a hydrogen gas supply source (14) connected to the interior of the pressure-resistant vessel (2) by the gas passageway.
