  • Patent number: 10502367
    Abstract: Unit for storing gas by absorption or adsorption, comprising a chamber containing a storage element (702, 704) that stores gas by absorption or adsorption, characterized in that it further comprises a compressible element (712) also provided within the chamber and kept in contact with the storage element (702, 704) and designed to deform under the action of loads applied by the storage element (702, 704) upon variations in volume of the storage element (702, 704) during phases of storing gas and releasing gas from storage, so as to limit the loads applied to the chamber.
