  • Patent number: 8197988
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high pressure tank configured to store hydrogen and includes a metal hydride (MH) tank capable of storing hydrogen, mounted therein. First and second solenoid valves are provided at both ends of the high pressure tank. A fuel cell stack is then connected to the buffer tank so that hydrogen from the high pressure tank or the MH tank is supplied to the stack through the buffer tank.

  • Publication number: 20110120736
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fire safety apparatus for a high-pressure gas storage system which can suitably ensure the fire safety of the high-pressure tank. Preferably, a flame transfer member having superior flammability is provided outside the high-pressure tank having a tank valve on a first end thereof. The flame transfer member extends a second end of the high-pressure tank to the tank valve, so that when a fire occurs, the flame transfer member rapidly burns creating flames and transfers heat from the origin of the fire to a PRD (pressure relief device) provided on the tank valve.

  • Publication number: 20090155648
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hydrogen storage system using a metal hydride (MH), which can increase volumetric storage density of hydrogen and total hydrogen storage capacity and improve system packaging. For this purpose, the present invention provides a hydrogen storage system for a fuel cell vehicle, the hydrogen storage system including: an outer space filled with a first storage alloy powder that is able to release hydrogen at a high temperature; an inner space filled with a second storage alloy powder that is able to release hydrogen only with heat generated from a fuel cell stack; a metal filter disposed between the outer and inner spaces so as to divide the outer and inner spaces; a second heat exchange tube provided between the fuel cell stack and a radiator to constitute a cooling loop and arranged along a longitudinal direction of the inner space; and an independent heat exchange loop independently connected to the outer space for the hydrogen release of the first storage alloy powder.

  • Patent number: 7101783
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for forming a bit-line of a semiconductor device. In a line patterning process for forming a bit-line in a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) of a semiconductor device, a barrier metal layer and a tungsten layer are sequentially formed on an interlayer insulating film comprising a contact hole to fill the contact hole by a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method. Then, the barrier metal layer and the tungsten layer are removed until the interlayer insulating film is exposed, and a tungsten layer having small thickness is re-formed on the exposed interlayer insulating film by a PVD (physical Vapor Deposition) method. As a result, the bit-line area is reduced as much as the barrier metal layer removed from the upper portion of interlayer insulating film, thereby having low bit-line capacitance.
