ABSORPTION-DESORPTION SYSTEM

摘要

An absorption desorption system in which the heat generated during absorption is used as a heat source for the endothermic desorption of the material from the medium by the provision of a heat storage medium (16) in contact with the absorbing medium and by minimising heat loss from the system by use of a heat transfer barrier (17). The system is particularly useful in the storage of hydrogen on hydridable metal alloys.
