Measurement of operating parameters of a hydrogen compressor using metal hydride materials

The present article deals with the possibilities of using metal hydride materials in the construction of hydrogen compressors. For the purpose of continuous operation, a tandem tank connection is used. By increasing the tank temperature, hydrogen pressure increases as well, whereas the heat is transported between the tanks by means of a heat pump. Operating parameters are measured for the purpose analysing prevention of the device failures that occur when the maximum pressure behind the heat pump compressor is exceeded
