US 2015/0176460 A1 · SYSTEM FOR STORING AND DELIVERING GASEOUS AMMONIA

Abstract

A system for storing and delivering gaseous ammonia to a consumer unit (30) includes: a plurality of gaseous ammonia storage cells (10) each including: a storage material (102) that is a gaseous ammonia absorber, a means for adjusting an internal pressure of each cell independently of the other cells of the plurality, including a heating means (106), an outlet interface (40) connecting the plurality of cells (10) to the consumer unit (30) allowing gaseous ammonia to leave the cell (10) when the internal pressure is higher than a pressure downstream, a control device (50) common to the plurality of cells (10) allowing control, independently of the other cells of the plurality, of the activity of each cell (10) in delivering ammonia to the outlet interface (40) using means for controlling (502)the means (106) of adjusting the internal pressure of the plurality of cells (10).

System for storing and delivering gaseous ammonia to a consumer unit, the system including:

a plurality of gaseous ammonia storage cells, each including:
o a storage material that is a gaseous ammonia absorber,
a means for adjusting an internal pressure of each cell independently of the other cells of the plurality, including a heating means,
the system being wherein it further includes:
an outlet interface connecting the plurality of cells to the consumer unit, allowing gaseous ammonia to leave the cell when the internal pressure is higher than a downstream pressure,
a control device common to the plurality of cells, allowing control, independently of the other cells of the plurality, of the activity of each cell in delivering ammonia to the outlet interface using means for controlling (502) the means of adjusting the internal pressure of the plurality of cells.
