Advanced metal hydride heat transfer system utilizing an electrochemical hydrogen compressor

An electrochemical heat transfer system comprising an electrochemical heat transfer device comprising:

• a) a controller;
• b) a working fluid comprising hydrogen;
• c) a first electrochemical hydrogen compressor comprising:
• i) an anode;
• ii) a cathode;
• iii) a proton exchange membrane;
• iv) a power supply coupled to the anode and cathode to create an electrical potential across the anode and cathode to transfer the hydrogen across the proton exchange membrane from the anode to the cathode;
• d) a first reservoir comprising a metal hydride forming alloy;
• e) a second reservoir comprising a metal hydride forming alloy;
• f) a first heat transfer device coupled to said first reservoir;
• g) a second heat exchange device coupled to the said second reservoir;
• h) a set of conduits to fluidly connecting the first electrochemical hydrogen compressor with the first heat transfer device the second heat transfer device;
• wherein the electrochemical hydrogen compressor transfers hydrogen from said first reservoir to the second reservoir and wherein hydrogen is desorbed from the metal hydride in said first reservoir and wherein hydrogen is absorbed by the metal hydride in said second reservoir;
• wherein heat is transferred from a first heat exchange device to said first reservoir and wherein heat is transferred from the second reservoir to the second heat exchange device.
