Summary
A computer code describing a transient model was developed to analyse the performance of a metal hydride heating/air-conditioning system. The model was applied to simulate two different concepts of fast reaction beds in the heating/air-conditioning device, using a novel capillary tube bundle reactor for improved heat transfer characteristics and the established metal foam tube reactor, respectively. The reactors are equipped with cascades of different metal hydrides thus implying a moving thermal wave during operation. Numerical techniques were used to predict the liquid temperatures, solid phase temperatures, specific gas flow rates, hydrogen pore pressures and metal hydride compositions.
