SERIES OF METAL HYDRIDE HIGH-PRESSURE HYDROGEN COMPRESSORS

The institute for Problems in Machinery of the National Academy of Sci ences of the Ukraine has developed an experimental batch of the single -stage metal hydride thermosorption compressors (TSCs) with different gas deliveries: TSC-70, TSC-80, TSC-150 and TSC-300. These have delive ry pressure from 7.0 to 30.0 MPa at the initial pressure of 0.3-1.0 MP a. These devices can work in continuous mode or in periodic mode. They are characterized with the original design properties, caused by seve re barometric working conditions. The technical parameters of these co mpressors as well as the results of their long-term operation in the d ifferent energy-technological systems are presented in the report. The prospective fields of their application are shown.
