Abstract
A hydrogen storage-compression system has a hydrogen storage-compression apparatus and a thermal management system. The apparatus includes a casing and a plurality of storage-compression units mounted within an internal chamber of the casing. Each storage-compression unit includes a container and a metal hydride for hydrogen storage-compression contained within the container. The storage-compression containers are interconnected by a hydrogen gas circuit flow system to a hydrogen inlet and outlet for connection to a hydrogen consumer and a hydrogen source. The thermal management system includes a thermal liquid circuit system and a heat exchanger system. The circuit system includes a closed loop thermal liquid flow circuit, a thermal liquid flowing within the flow circuit, and a pump for pumping the thermal liquid in the flow circuit. The flow circuit is connected to a liquid inlet and outlet of the casing for flowing thermal liquid through the internal chamber around the containers of the storage-compression units for cooling or heating thereof. The flow circuit is coupled to a first heat exchanger thermally coupled to heating source and to a second heat exchanger thermally couple…
