Abstract
The invention relates to a hydrogen compressor with metal hydride comprising: a pressure chamber, comprising an inner space, defined by a first inner surface; a shell with a thickness E, the shell comprising a first outer surface facing the first inner surface, the shell comprising an insulating material with first thermal conductivity; and a hydrogen storage element, contained in the shell, comprising a storage material suitable for storing or releasing hydrogen as a function of a temperature that is imposed on same, and having a second thermal conductivity higher than the first thermal conductivity.
