Abstract

The present article deals with potential improvement of heat removal from the centre of a metal hydride tank towards the tank’s periphery while using passive heat transfer modules. Passive cooling elements are used in order to improve heat removal from the centre of a tank towards its peripheral parts. This increases the homogeneity of the thermal field in a tank’s cross-section, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Moreover, the use of such elements improves the kinetics of hydrogen absorption into an alloy, in particular by prolonging the time to an equilibrium temperature of the alloy for a particular equilibrium pressure, which may shorten the time to a tank being 100% filled with hydrogen. The article describes four different designs of internal heat transfer intensifiers, which are aimed at improving the thermal field distribution inside the tank and their theoretical impact on the thermal field, which was examined using Ansys CFX software.
