Description
Summary:Rechargeable metal hydrides are being used for a wide variety of applications: mobile and stationary hydrogen storage, hydrogen purification, hydrogen recovery and separation, thermal compression, chemical heat pumps and refrigeration. Successful selection of metal hydrides for these and other proposed applications requires the knowledge of many engineering properties. In many cases these data are scattered widely in the literature or are simply not available. In this paper we bring together engineering properties for three classes of hydride-forming alloys (AB, AB 5 and A 2B) manufactured and marketed by Ergenics under the HY-STOR trade name. The properties discussed are the plateau pressure-temperature relationship, hysteresis, the plateau slope, the hydrogen capacity and the heat capacity.
