Selection of Alloys in a Metal Hydride Heat PumpA Procedure

چکیده
Metal hydride heat pump (MHHP for short) is a promising candidate among the many sorption heat pumps. To improve its performance, the alloys used in the system should be selected carefully. In this article, a new procedure was proposed for selection of pairing alloys according to the operation conditions of MHHP, which followed a twostep strategy. First several pairs of alloys feasible for working under given conditions were chosen by a deductive method, next some indices such as COP, alloy output, and compatibility of pair were calculated for the pairs to assess corresponding performances, thus the best pair of alloys can be figured out. Finally, an example was presented to show the validity of the procedure.

High-pressure metal hydride vehicular hydrogen storage systems can offer good overall gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities. Enhanced heat transfer techniques will be essential to achieve established goals for tank filling times. A numerical model is developed to simulate the hydrogen filling process of a subscale high-pressure metal hydride (Ti1.1CrMn) system. The model is validated by...
