Experimental behaviour of a three-stage metal hydride hydrogen compressor

A three-stage metal hydride hydrogen compressor (MHHC) system based in AB2-type alloys has been set-up. Every stage can be considered as a Sieverts-type apparatus. The MHHC system can work in the pressure and temperature ranges comprised from vacuum to 250 bar and from RT to 200C, respectively. An efficient thermal management system was set up for the operational ranges of temperature designed. It dumps temperature shifts due to hydrogen expansion during stage coupling and hydrogen absorption/desorption in the alloys. Each reactor consists of a single and thin stainless-steel tube to maximize heat transfer. They are filled with similar amount of AB2 alloy. The MHHC system was able to produce a compression ratio (CR) as high as of 84.7 for inlet and outlet hydrogen pressures of 1.44 and 122 bar for a temperature span of 23 to 120C.
