Abstract

1471128 Power plant RJ SCHOEPPEZ AND L E TERRY 12 March 1976 10125/76 Heading F1Q [Also in Divisions C1 and F4] A power plant comprises a hydride-dehydride reactor for chemically forming a hydride by reaction of a hydrideable material with hydrogen gas; means for periodically supplying hydrogen gas to the reactor; means for supplying heat to the reactor in alternating sequence to the supply of hydrogen for effecting chemical compression and dehydriding of the hydride; means for removing heat from the reactor, and means for continuously converting the pressure energy of hydrogen released from the reactor upon dehydriding to shaft power by concurrent expansion and cooling of the hydrogen. In a preferred embodiment, a nuclear reactor system includes a heat exchange coolant pump 14 for circulating a coolant fluid to the reactor 10 and a bottoming unit 22 comprising a series of hydride-dehydride reactors 24, 26, 28, 30, valved conduit means for conveying the heated coolant fluid from the nuclear reactor to the hydride-dehydride reactor to periodically heat the hydride-dehydride reactor, similar means for periodically cooling the hydride-dehydride reactor in alternating sequences with the heating thereof, a gas expansion power device 134 connected to the hydride-dehydride reactor for receiving pressurized hydrogen gas therefrom, and means for recycling hydrogen gas from the gas expansion power device to the hydride-dehydride reactor.
