HYDROGEN OCCLUDED ALLOY-BASED HEAT APPLICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the operation efficiency and stabilize the operation in response to fluctuations in a drive heat source by providing a first hydrogen occluded alloy which is heated by a drive heat a source and discharges hydrogen, a second hydrogen occluded alloy which absorbs said discharged hydrogen, and a hydrogen pump which operates when a temperature level of a drive heat source is low, and discharges hydrogen from said first hydrogen occluded alloy side to said second hydrogen occluded alloy. CONSTITUTION:Hydrogen occluded alloys MH1 and MH2 heat MH1 with the heat at temperature if a drive heat source 12 is at a relatively high temperature, and cools MH2 with cooling water and transfers the hydrogen of the MH1 to the MH2, then returns the hydrogen of the MHMH2 to the MH1, cooling the MH1, where refrigerating heat is collected by the endothermic reaction of the MH2. On the other hand, the heat of the drive heat source 12, it it is relatively low, say, 90 deg.C, is detected by a sensor or the like, and the detected drive heat source operates a motor-driven hydrogen pump 8. The hydrogen pump 8 forcibly transfers hydrogen from the MH1 to the MH2 and allows the discharged hydrogen to be absorbed, cooling the MH2.
