Summary

The concept of mass recovery in metal hydride systems was studied with a single-stage multi-bed cooling system as example. Mass recovery results in variation of bed temperatures due to removal or addition of heat of desorption or absorption respectively. COP and cold output increase while required heat input decreases for the mass recovery cycle. Thus, mass recovery between hydride reactors was found to improve system performance compared with that of a basic system.
