Abstract
Features and testing results of experimental metal hydride cartridges (generators-sorbers) characterized with different ways of heat supply and dissipation are presented in this paper. The experimental data and heat-and-mass transfer calculations show that by an appropriate choic e of working regime the coefficient of supplied energy transformation can be raised up to 0.3-0.4. Thermosorption compressors with improved dynamic characteristics, which provide single-step hydrogen compressio n up to 8.0-30.0 MPa, are described.
