Metal hydride hydrogen storage container with valved ports

摘要

A metal hydride hydrogen storage system comprising: at least a first metal hydride storage module directly coupled to an identical second metal hydride storage module, where each of the storage modules comprises: a metal hydride pressure vessel having a first and a second valved port; and a metal hydride material disposed within the pressure vessel; where the second valved port of the first module is directly coupled to the first valved port of said second module. The first and second valved ports of each of the storage modules may be adapted so that they are normally closed and so that said second valved port of the first module and the first valved port of the second module are urged open upon direct coupling.
