Abstract
An apparatus for assembling a solid hydrogen storage system includes a lower support installed to support a lower side of material blocks to be assembled, split covers assembled in multiple stages on an upper side of the lower support and forming therein a closed space in which the material blocks are capable of being assembled, the split covers being configured to be separated in a horizontal direction, and gas injection ports provided in the split covers to inject an inert gas into an inner space of the split covers.
Claims4
A method of assembling a solid hydrogen storage system, the method comprising:
- fixing a pressure vessel cover on a lower support;
- mounting a split cover on the pressure vessel cover;
- assembling material blocks inside the split cover while supplying an inert gas into a gas injection port of the split cover;
- stacking and coupling a new split cover on the split cover;
- and
- assembling another material block inside the stacked new split cover while supplying the inert gas into a gas injection port of the stacked new split cover;
- wherein the stacking the new split cover and the assembling the another material block while supplying the inert gas into the gas injection port of the new split cover are repeated until a target stage is assembled and coupled.
