Abstract
A hydrogen supply device and a method of supplying hydrogen are provided in which a hydrogen gas odorized with the odor agent is supplied by applying heat to a granular mixture of hydrogen storage glass beads and odor agent encapsulating capsules using irradiation with infrared light emitted from a light source.
Claims14
A hydrogen supply device comprising:
- a hydrogen storage glass body that stores hydrogen and that releases the hydrogen when heat is applied;
- an odor agent encapsulating capsule that encapsulates an odor agent and that releases the odor agent when heat is applied;
- and
- a heat source that applies heat to at least a portion of the hydrogen storage glass body and to at least a portion of the odor agent encapsulating capsule.
1 more element
A hydrogen supply device comprising:
- a hydrogen absorbing alloy that stores hydrogen and that releases the hydrogen when heat is applied;
- an odor agent encapsulating capsule that encapsulates an odor agent and that releases the odor agent when heat is applied;
- and
- a heat source that applies heat to at least a portion of the hydrogen absorbing alloy and to at least a portion of the odor agent encapsulating capsule.
1 more element
A method of supplying hydrogen comprising:
- applying heat to a hydrogen storage glass body storing hydrogen and an odor agent encapsulating capsule in which an odor agent is encapsulated;
- odorizing hydrogen released from the hydrogen storage glass body with odor agent released from the odor agent encapsulating capsule;
- and
- supplying the odorized hydrogen.
1 more element
A method of supplying hydrogen comprising:
- applying heat to hydrogen absorbing alloy to which hydrogen is adsorbed and to an odor agent encapsulating capsule in which an odor agent is encapsulated;
- odorizing hydrogen released from the hydrogen absorbing alloy with odor agent released from the odor agent encapsulating capsule;
- and
- supplying the odorized hydrogen.
