Temperature Variation Characteristics of Metal Hydride Heat Pump Reactor in Hydrogen Adsorption
In order to study the temperature variation of metal hydride heat pump reactor
an experimental setup for performance test of the heat pump reactor was built. The temperature variation of the hydride bed and heat transfer fluid in hydrogen adsorption reaction was measured. The experimental results show that both the maximum temperature of the hydride bed and outlet temperature of heat transfer fluid rise with the increase of the hydrogen supply pressure. When the hydrogen supply pressure increases from 0.6 MPa to 1.0 MPa
the maximum temperature of the bed rises from 56.6 to 71.8 ℃. Considering cost and safety
hydrogen supply pressure should be lower than 1.6 MPa for La-based metal hydride reactor. The higher the flow rate of heat transfer fluid is
the faster the bed temperature drops
but this heat transfer enhancement effect is very limited. When the fluid flow rate increases
the temperature rising magnitude of the fluid reduces remarkably
while the maximum temperature of the bed basically keeps unchanged. It can also be found that the higher the hydrogen injection flow rate is
the faster the hydrogen pressure in the reactor rises
resulting in faster hydrogenation reaction. The exothermic reaction process can be controlled by changing the hydrogen flow rate
thus more favorably meeting the demand for heat application.
