  • Publication number: 20110303175
    Abstract: The multi stage hydrogen compression and delivery system for internal combustion engines utilizing a working fluid and waste heat recovery (HCDS-ICM-WF-WH) consists of a thermally driven multi compression stage metal hydride hydrogen compressor in line with high pressure hydrogen storage tanks and a pressure regulating hydrogen delivery system that supplies a controlled release of hydrogen to the internal combustion engine. The working fluid carries the thermal energy captured from the waste heat of the engine to the metal hydride compression stages to drive the hydrogen compression. The compressor is intended to be inseparable from the storage tank to ensure safe operation.

  • Publication number: 20110303313
    Abstract: The single stage hydrogen compression and delivery system for internal combustion engines utilizing a working fluid and waste heat recovery system (HCDS-ICS-WF-WH) consists of a thermally driven single compression stage metal hydride hydrogen compressor in line with high pressure hydrogen storage tanks and a pressure regulating hydrogen delivery system that supplies a controlled release of hydrogen to the internal combustion engine. The working fluid carries the thermal energy (which is absorbed from the waste heat of the internal combustion engine) needed to the metal hydride compressor to drive the hydrogen compression process. The compressor is intended to be inseparable from the storage tank to ensure safe operation.

  • Publication number: 20110303557
    Abstract: The multi stage hydrogen compression and delivery system for internal combustion engines utilizing an air cooling system and an electrical heater (HCDS-ICAir-Multi) consists of a thermally driven multi compression stage metal hydride hydrogen compressor in line with high pressure hydrogen storage tanks and a pressure regulating hydrogen delivery system that supplies a controlled release of hydrogen to the internal combustion engine. The air cooling absorbs the excess energy produced upon hydrogen absorption and the electric heater supplies the thermal energy needed to drive the hydrogen compression within the compression stage of the system. The compressor is intended to be inseparable from the storage tank to ensure safe operation.

  • Publication number: 20110303166
    Abstract: The single stage hydrogen compression and delivery system for internal combustion engines utilizing an air cooling system and an electrical heater (HCDS-ICAir-Single) consists of a thermally driven single compression stage metal hydride hydrogen compressor in line with high pressure hydrogen storage tanks and a pressure regulating hydrogen delivery system that supplies a controlled release of hydrogen to the internal combustion engine. The air cooling absorbs the excess energy produced upon hydrogen absorption and the electric heater supplies the thermal energy needed to drive the hydrogen compression within the compression stage of the system. The compressor is intended to be inseparable from the storage tank to ensure safe operation.
