<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To implement high load efficiency and quickly and uniformly transmit heat to stored hydrogen storage alloy, by forming a container so that its vertical sectional face perpendicular to a longitudinal direction is a square or diamond of a rectangular long from side to side, and heat medium passages are disposed in surrounding walls. SOLUTION: A container for hydrogen storage alloy is not liable to roll, and can be piled and loaded with high load efficiency. The outer shape of the container has a vertical sectional face which is a square 100-200 mm on a side or a diamond of a rectangular long from side to side. Inside the container, at least two rectangular alloy storage chambers which are long from side to side and disposed symmetrically with each other are partitioned to be formed by a vertical wall 1 and a horizontal wall 2. Further, the vertical wall 1 and horizontal wall 2 reinforce external walls of the container, if the external walls caused by volume expansion occurred at a time of storing hydrogen are made of such as aluminum alloy, deformation or damage of the external walls is efficiently prevented. Since heat medium passages are disposed at each edge of the alloy storage chamber, heat is quickly and uniformly transmitted to the stored storage absorbing alloy to quickly store and radiate hydrogen gas.</p> |
