HB-SC-0100-Q is a hydrogen storage system, based on the latest achievements in solid metal hydride technology of AB5-type alloys as well as on unique techniques of alloy loading. It allows to store and release the gas at ambient temperature and at designed pressure range from 1.0 up to 10.0 atm with very high stability of gas flow: 95% of the stored gas can be released with designed maximum flow rate at constant temperature.
At present, this type of storage is considered as the safest one: even gunshot test with full hydrogen charged tank does not result in any combustible reaction, which clearly demonstrates the safety level of our product. Unlike high-pressure hydrogen storages, in our storage hydrogen is bonded with the alloy chemically. It will take hours, before the system will fully release it if there is gas leakage caused by system’s damage.
The system is able to pass a few thousand charge/discharge cycles without any essential changes in working technical characteristics, while exploited properly.
HB-SC-0100-Q is capable also to provide high purity hydrogen (over 99.9999%) while for charging only 99.99% purity hydrogen is required. It makes HB-SC-0100-Q an ideal pure hydrogen source for Gas Chromatography and many other gas purity-sensitive systems.
