COMPRESSION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240301570 titled 'COMPRESSION DEVICE
The compression device described in the patent application includes an electrochemical cell with an anode, cathode, and electrolyte membrane, a voltage application unit, and a metal plate resistant to hydrogen embrittlement.
- The electrochemical cell generates compressed hydrogen at the cathode.
- The metal plate is exposed to the compressed hydrogen and has a first terminal connected to the voltage application unit.
- The first terminal is directly connected to a second terminal with lower resistance, which is then connected to the voltage application unit.
- The metal plate design prevents hydrogen embrittlement and ensures efficient operation of the compression device.
Potential Applications: - Energy storage systems - Fuel cell technology - Hydrogen compression and storage
Problems Solved: - Prevents hydrogen embrittlement in metal plates - Enhances the efficiency of compression devices
