Abstract
Hydrogen storage system (2) comprising a plurality of storage containers (6), each storage container comprising a tubular container wall (6a) and end caps (6b,6c) closing opposite ends of the tubular container wall, and a metal hydride (MH) configured for hydrogen storage contained within a chamber (13) of the storage container, the plurality of storage containers of one multi-container unit being interconnected by gas flow tubes in a direct fluidic connection ensuring that the gas pressure within the containers are substantially the same. The tubular container wall of each storage container has a diameter in a range from 1.5 cm to 10 cm adjacent ones of said plurality of storage containers of said module being separated by a gap (G) within a range of distance corresponding to 0.02×D to 1×D, D being diameter of the tubular container wall.
