<p>An installation for the compression of gaseous hydrogen having at least one hydride store which has a feed line for the gaseous hydrogen to be compressed and a drain line for the compressed gaseous hydrogen as well as a feed line and a drain line on its jacket for a medium for alternate cooling and heating of the hydride store, having at least one recirculating pump for the heating/cooling medium and having a control for operating shut-off valves in the feed and drain lines for the gaseous hydrogen and the heating/cooling medium for alternate charging and discharging of the hydride store(s). In order to construct an installation for compression of gaseous hydrogen whose operation requires an outlay of energy which is as low as possible, it is proposed that the feed and drain line (25, 26, 27, 28) of the heating and of the cooling medium are in each case parts of a closed heating or cooling circulation, the cooling circulation (10) being coupled to the heat exchanger (23) (evaporator), absorbing heat from outside, of a heat pump (9) and the heating circulation (11) being coupled to the heat exchanger (19) (condenser), giving off heat to the outside, of the same heat pump (9). …<IMAGE>… </p> |
