Effect of flowthrough cooling heat removal on the performances of MOF-5 cryo-adsorptive hydrogen reservoir for bulk storage applications

摘要: Abstract We numerically investigated the effect of flowthrough cooling heat removal on storage and thermal performances a 20 m 3 MOF-5 cryo-adsorptive bulk hydrogen reservoir. To validate models, detailed experimental measurements using 2.5 L tank filled with are used for first time. As gas is charged into large reservoir, temperature system raise from 77 to 121 K. When active ∼30 h, average adsorbent bed cooled down 77 K; this results in capacity 460 kg at tank's maximum pressure 4 MPa, which even higher than cryo-compressed equilibrated 77 K 4 MPa. Our work establishes that an efficient approach reservoirs MOF-5.
