Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method including a high temperature metal hydride and a low temperature metal hydride. The system may include a heating bed comprising an inorganic composition. Notably, the inorganic composition may be water reactive. The system and method may be used to process waste heat.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- a high temperature metal hydride, the high temperature metal hydride being positioned within a high temperature metal hydride container;
- a low temperature metal hydride, the low temperature metal hydride being positioned within a low temperature metal hydride container, the low temperature metal hydride container being in fluid communication with the high temperature metal hydride container;
- and
- a heating bed, the heating bed being in thermal communication with low temperature metal hydride, the heating bed comprising an inorganic composition, the inorganic composition being water reactive.
