Abstract

PURPOSE:To double the efficiency by operating two refrigerating machines by one heat source, and driving a second-stage by the heat from reaction of the first-stage. CONSTITUTION:A second metallic hydride in a container 23 is heated by a heating medium oil heated by a boiler, to release hydrogen gas at high pressure and high temperature. The hydrogen gas is cooled by a cooling water in a gas-water heat exchanger 37 to become hydrogen gas having a high pressure and normal temperature, which is expanded upon entering a second refrigerator 42, whereby heat absorption for refrigeration is achieve. The hydrogen gas is then occluded into a second metallic hydride in a container 22, and the resulting heat is stored in a heat storage tank 28. A metallic hydride having a high equilibrium hydrogen pressure in a container 21 is heated to release hydrogen gas at high pressure and high temperature. The hydrogen gas is cooled by the cooling water in the heat exchanger 37, to become hydrogen gas having a high pressure and normal temperature, which is expanded upon entering a first refrigerator 38, whereby heat absorption for refrigeration is achieved. The hydrogen gas is then occluded into a metallic hydride in a container 20, accompanied by generation of heat, which is released to the exterior through a cooling part 30.

Although H2 generates heat, this heat is recovered by heat exchange using heat medium oil and stored in a heat storage tank (28). The heat storage tank (28)
Due to the heat storage, the heat medium oil around T2 (100'C) is sent into the storage container (2l) in a heat exchange manner. Metal hydride MH. with high equilibrium hydrogen ordering power in the storage container (Z1). is heated and placed in a storage container (21) as shown in Figure 4.
) is at high pressure (point C). As a result, the check valve (34c) opens and the hydrogen conduit (35) passes through the gas-water heat exchange l! ! This leads to the II vessel (37). Here, the high-pressure, high-temperature hydrogen is cooled by cooling water, becomes high-pressure and at room temperature, enters the first refrigerator (38), expands there, and generates freezing heat. Thereafter, the hydrogen gas is passed through the hydrogen conduit (36} and the check valve (36).
Metal hydride Ml1 in the storage container (20) passing through 4bl
