  • Publication number: 20240117941
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage system is disclosed and includes a storage unit including a plurality of unit storage containers, in which metal hydride materials are respectively provided in an interior thereof and which are connected to each other in parallel, and a thermal fluid line defining a thermal fluid passage, which passes via the plurality of unit storage containers continuously and through which a thermal fluid flows for heating or cooling the unit storage containers, thereby enhancing a storage performance and an efficiency of the hydrogen.

  • Publication number: 20240117930
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage device includes a storage container having an accommodation space in an interior thereof, a first metal hydride material provided in the interior of the storage container and that stores hydrogen, and a second metal hydride material provided in the interior of the storage container and that stores the hydrogen at a pressure that is different from that of the first metal hydride material. An advantageous effect of restraining an excessive rise of a pressure of the storage container and enhancing safety and reliability may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 8449647
    Abstract: A method of inoculating magnesium (Mg) on compacted graphite iron (CGI) comprises: providing a partition having a predetermined height on the bottom of a ladle so as to divide the interior of the ladle into a first space and a second space; laminating an Mg inoculant and a cover in order in the second space; and tapping liquid CGI cast iron onto the first space, whereby the Mg inoculant becomes in contact with the liquid CGI iron after the liquid CGI tapped onto the first space goes over the partition toward the second space and after the cover is melted by the liquid CGI. According to the method, the deviation of density of Mg is minimized, and a secondary inoculating process can thus be omitted.
