Abstract
The AB(2) and AB(5) types of hydrogen storage alloy have been investig ated for meeting the requirements of making a metal hydride compressor with some characteristics applied in the cryogenic technology. Using this compressor, a cooling capacity of 0.4 W at 25 K was obtained with a Joule-Thomson microcooler, and 1.35 W at 77 K with a small G-M cool er was also tested.
