Embodiment
With reference to Fig. 1 and 2, the invention provides a kind of container 10 that is used to hold the metallic 12 that can form metal hydride.
The inner space 20 of container 10 holds the metallic 12 that can form metal hydride.Metallic 12 is a form with the powder.The example of the suitable particles size of powder is in 1 micron to 3000 microns scope.Metallic 12 must be able to absorb hydrogen (being also referred to as " filling suction ") to realize with the metal hydride being that form stores hydrogen.And then, after these metallics 12 have absorbed hydrogen, when having from the requiring of unit operation, during as the fuel in needs are used as fuel cell or in the internal-combustion engine, (with the metal hydride be form) these metallics 12 must desorb hydrogen (being also referred to as " release ").When absorbing hydrogen, metallic 12 expands, thereby and increases the volume that takies.In desorption process, thus the volume that metallic 12 shrinks and reduces to take.Understand not to be that all metallics 12 maximum capacity that necessarily must hydrogen be absorbed them metallics 12 that just will be contained in the container 10 are described as " having filled suction ".In case understand that also having filled suction is not that the metallics 12 that necessarily must the desorption that absorb before all just will be contained in the container 10 are described as " discharging ".With hydrogen metallic 12 being filled suction is exothermic process.On the contrary, discharging absorbed hydrogen from metallic 12 is endothermic process.
Absorb hydrogen by metallic 12 and be meant that hydrogen and metallic 12 associate.The possible mechanism of associating comprises: dissolving, covalent bonding or ionic bonding.Dissolving is described hydrogen atom is combined in process in the space of lattice structure of metal or intermetallic alloy.The example of these metal hydrides comprises Vanadium hydride, titantium hydride and vanadium-titanium alloy hydride.The example of covalent bonding hydride is a magnesium hydride.The example of ionic bond hydride is sodium hydride and potassium hydride.Complex hydrides is the metal hydride that demonstrates following bonding between metalloid atom and hydrogen atom, this bonding be characterised in that the part covalency with part ion.Example comprises sodium aluminum hydride and lithium aluminium hydride reduction.
Container 10 comprises the internal surface 16 that forms the vessel space 20 with container volume.Internal surface 16 comprises the sidewall 163 of first end 161, second end 162 and generally tubular, and this sidewall 163 extends between first and second ends 161,162, and also extends 360 ° around the axis 11 of container.First end 161 comprises circular shoulder 169, nozzle 24 terminations that this circle shoulder 169 extends and forming hole 241 from sidewall 163.Hole 241 be implemented in vessel space 20 and container 10 the outside (as downstream operational example such as fuel cell or internal-combustion engine, as long as this unit operation suitably fluid be connected to hole 241) between fluid be communicated with.Play the effect of import filling suction process mesopore 241, and when discharging, play the effect of outlet.Control selectively by 300 pairs of the fluids connections of valve that are connected to nozzle 24 by hole 241.Valve 300 can be communicated with to realize respectively and to seal this fluid between the state that opens and closes in operation.Second end 162 is stretched and is sealed from sidewall 163.
Elastic insert 22 is placed in the container 10.As described further herein, between liner and internal surface 16, provide void space 202 to adapt to the expansion of metallic 12.With reference to figure 3 and 4, liner 22 forms storage area 201 in vessel space 20.Metallic 12 is arranged to hold in storage area 201.The layout of metallic 12 extend generally upward to circular shoulder 169 and until nozzle 24.In vessel space 20 and between liner 22 and internal surface 16, provide void space 202.Void space 202 does not hold metallic 12.Void space 202 has void space volume to adapt to the displacement of liner 22, and is such as will be described.Understand that void space 202 is not the space between the metallic 12 that only refers to closely fill.
Liner 22 engages or adjacency with internal surface 16,201 enters void space 202 to form void space 202 and to limit metallic 12 from the storage area.At this on the one hand, liner 22 is urged to internal surface 16 contact (or by), with formation void space 202 and limit the above-mentioned void space 202 that enters.First end 221 of liner 22 rests on second end 162 of container, and second end 222 of liner 22 rests on sidewall 163 or the shoulder 169, thereby forms void space 202.
Although understand in the discrete time lag, to stop this to enter, liner 22 and internal surface 16 engage or adjacency needn't stop metallic 12 to enter space between liner 22 and internal surface 16 fully., entering of very small amount of metallic 12 may be taken place, thereby provide as lower channel temporarily from the results of internal surface 16 displacements as liner 22, metallic 12 can 201 migrate to void space 202 from the storage area by this passage.According to described below and make in the method shown in Figure 11 to 15 under embodiment's the situation of container 10, inapparent relatively entering also may be taken place.At this on the one hand, the space between liner 22 and internal surface 16 may not necessarily be made of void space 202 fully.And understand that in the process of using container 10, because the periodicity of metallic 12 enters, the part that is made of void space 202 in the space between liner 22 and internal surface 16 may diminish on volume.At this on the one hand, with liner 22 and internal surface 16 engage or adjacency is called and roughly prevents from or limit metallic 12 201 to enter void space 202 from the storage area.
Because void space 202 does not hold any metallic 12, any displacement to internal surface 16 provides few relatively resistance under the effect of the power on the liner 22 so 202 pairs of liners 22 of void space are applied at metallic 12.At this on the one hand, void space 202 promotes this dislocation of liner 22, thereby at least in part container 10 is isolated from these power and mechanical stress, otherwise container 10 will stand these power and mechanical stress.Metallic 12 is inhaled the expansion have hydrogen to cause and may be caused these power owing to filling.Because this situation has been increased the weight of in the part of the filling density of explosion of metallic 12 (metallic 12 is pulverized, and causes the size of metallic 12 to reduce) and metallic 12 concentrated and the metallic 12 that causes.Although it is flexible further understanding liner 22, in case metallic shrinks when discharging hydrogen, liner 22 must not return to its accurate initial conditions.
Metallic 12 is being filled (absorbing in the process of hydrogen) when inhaling, 202 pairs in space is applied to masterpiece on the liner 22 by metallic 12 and goes out response and shrink.This is because metallic 12 expands when absorbing hydrogen, causes that liner 22 distortion and generation are shifted and become more near internal surface 16.Along with the increase of filling density, the free space that being used between metallic 12 adapts to the expansion of metallic 12 reduces, and causes to liner 22 stress applications.By the resiliently deformable of (i) liner 22 with (ii) by the stress distribution of liner 22, eliminated this stress at least in part.In just d/d while of metallic 12 (promptly in the process in desorb hydrogen), metallic 12 shrinks on volume, is in when filling the suction state at least some power in the power that is applied by metallic 12 thereby eliminate former metallic 12.As a result, and because the elasticity of liner 22, in the process that discharges liner 22 to it distortion (promptly owing to before metallic 12 fill the distortion that suction causes) at least a portion reverse.
Liner 22 is placed in the vessel space 20, makes at least a portion of void space 202 be arranged between at least a portion of sidewall 163 and liner 22.In the illustrated embodiment, liner 22 has the form of generally tubular.At this on the one hand, liner 22 is arranged between the axis 11 of sidewall 163 and container 10, and extends 360 ° around axis 11.At least a portion of liner 22 and sidewall 163 are opposed.At this on the one hand, sidewall 163 extends 360 ° around axis 11 in the plane 13 vertical with axis 11, and at least a portion of liner 22 is arranged between sidewall 163 and the axis 11 and in plane 13 around 360 ° of axis 11 extensions.
With reference to figure 1,2 and 6, in the illustrated embodiment, when being arranged in liner 22 in the vessel space 20, liner 22 comprises the sidewall 223 that forms gauffer 2202.Form gauffer 2202 by alternating ridges 2204 and groove 2206, each in protuberance 2204 and the groove 2206 is with respect to plane 13 horizontal expansions.In the time of in the vessel space 20 that liner 22 is arranged in container 10, protuberance 2204 contacts with sidewall 163, thus thermal communication and the heat transfer of improvement between metallic 12 and sidewall 163.When being arranged in liner 22 in the vessel space 20, groove 2206 is slot milling between inwall 16 and liner 22.When metallic 12 expanded, metallic 12 just applied power to liner 22, caused gauffer 2202 (see figure 7) that flattens.
With reference to figure 1,4a and 4b, in order to rest on container side wall 163 or the shoulder 169, each end of first and second ends 221,222 of liner 22 comprises each antelabium 224a, the 224b that protrudes and extend around the circumference of liner sidewall 223 from the circumference radially outward of liner sidewall 223.Antelabium 224a, 224b contact with internal surface 16 and realize engaging or leaning on of liner 22 and internal surface 16, are used to realize the formation of void space 202. Antelabium 224a, 224b and engaging of internal surface 16 prevent that roughly metallic 12 from 201 entering void space 202 from the storage area in the above described manner.
Liner 22 is made of spring steel (low carbon steel) SAE1010 (having 50 to 60ksi tensile strength, 30 to 40ksi yield strength, about 29,000, the Young's modulus of 000psi and about 11,000, the modulus of rigidity of 000psi).Because comprising these features of gauffer 2202 and the combination of geometrical shape, liner 22 is arranged to promote in the stress distribution in the container 10 (for the situation that does not have liner 22).
