HYDROGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17701113 titled 'HYDROGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a hydrogen supply system that includes a water electrolysis stack and a metal hydride compressor. The system simplifies the structure, improves spatial utilization, and provides design freedom.
- The system includes a water electrolysis stack that decomposes water to produce hydrogen through electrochemical processes.
- A metal hydride compressor is connected to the water electrolysis stack and treats the hydrogen before supplying it to a destination.
- The system simplifies the overall structure of the hydrogen supply system.
- It improves spatial utilization by efficiently utilizing the available space.
- The system provides a higher degree of design freedom, allowing for flexibility in the system's configuration and layout.
Potential Applications
- Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles
- Industrial processes requiring hydrogen
- Energy storage systems
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the structure of the hydrogen supply system
- Improves spatial utilization
- Provides design freedom for system configuration
Benefits
- Simplified and more efficient hydrogen production and supply
- Increased flexibility in system design and layout
- Improved utilization of available space
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a hydrogen supply system including a water electrolysis stack configured to produce hydrogen by electrochemically decomposing water, and a metal hydride compressor connected to the water electrolysis stack and configured to treat the hydrogen before supplying the hydrogen to a supply destination, thereby obtaining an advantageous effect of simplifying a structure and improving spatial utilization and a degree of design freedom.
