Gas storage apparatus
TLDR
In this paper, a hydrogen storage apparatus that includes multiple gas storage tanks that each house a storing/adsorbing material and through the interior of which a fluid travels is provided.Abstract:
A hydrogen storage apparatus that includes multiple gas storage tanks that each house a storing/adsorbing material and through the interior of which a fluid travels is provided. The gas storage apparatus 10 includes roughly cylindrical gas storage tanks 20 that house hydrogen-storing alloy. The multiple gas storage tanks 20 are disposed longitudinally parallel to each other in an ordered fashion such that roughly triangular prism-shaped empty spaces are formed between multiple adjacent hydrogen storage tanks 20. Coolant paths through which coolant flows are formed in these roughly triangular prism-shaped empty spaces. These coolant paths are thermally connected to the hydrogen-storing alloy in the gas storage tanks 20 via constituent members of the gas storage tanks 20 and via heat transfer plates 28 disposed on the gas storage tanks 20.read more

Apparatus and systems having an encased adsorbent contactor and swing adsorption processes related thereto
TL;DR: In this paper, a plurality of the encased adsorbent contactors are loaded and sealed together in a swing adsorption vessel such that substantially an entire feed stream must pass through the channels of the contactors and not through stray gaseous stream paths between contactors.
Patent
Hydrogen gas storage device
TL;DR: An MH tank module 2 has a hollow outer shell portion 12 formed of metal as mentioned in this paper and a plurality of MH powder retaining chambers 22 defined by the plurality of fins 20. But these chambers are separate from one another, and the MH tank modules 2 are held individually by the corresponding recessed portions.
