Golben, P M

A novel 4 stage metal hydride/hydrogen compressor that uses low temperature hot water (75/sup 0/C) as its energy source has been built and tested. The compressor utilizes a new hydride heat exchanger technique that has achieved fast cycling time (with 20/sup 0/C cooling water) on the order of 1 min. This refinement substantially decreases the size, weight and cost of the unit when compared to previous hydride compressors or even conventional mechanical diaphragm compressors.
