Abstract
A solid state storage system includes a pressure-sealed storage unit defining an interior and having an outlet, an upper manifold and a lower manifold separated by a dividing plane having a set of ports, a set of chambers, and a solid state storage, wherein at least some gas is supplied to the outlet.
Claims20
A method of releasing hydrogen gas from a solid hydrogen storage system, comprising:
- receiving, by a control module, a demand signal indicative of a demand for hydrogen gas;
- and
- in response to receiving the demand signal, controlling, by the control module, initiating of a chemical reaction in a pressure-sealed housing having a chamber holding a hydrogen storage solid fluidly isolated from an opposing housing interior by a dividing plane having a port blocked by a corresponding deformable plug, by selectively supplying at least one of a reactant or heat to the housing interior and selectively deforming the plug to fluidly couple the housing interior with the chamber such that the chemical reaction liberates hydrogen gas from the hydrogen storage solid, and wherein a volume of the liberated hydrogen gas is proportional to the demand.
A method of releasing gas from a solid state storage system, comprising:
- receiving, by a control module, a demand signal indicative of a demand for gas;
- in response to receiving the demand signal, controllably deforming at least one deformable plug disposed at a dividing plane separating a first interior of a first housing from a second interior of a second housing;
- and
- in response to the deforming of the at least one deformable plug, exposing the second interior to at least one of a reactant or heat such that the at least one of reactant or heat initiates a chemical reaction liberating gas from a solid state storage solid disposed in the second housing.
