HYDROGEN ACCUMULATOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F17C11/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: hydrogen accumulator having a housing, a hydrogen storage from metal alloy in the form of a metal - hydrogen alloy system, which is characterised by the fact that inside the housing an arrangement is made for a tank with hydrogen accumulators that represent compact metal plates connected to each other, having the thickness of up to 500 mcm and made from nickel - boron alloy in the form of a nickel- boron - hydrogen electrochemical system, and plates are connected to heat lines located between the housing and the tank. In the housing there is a neck for filling of an electrolyte into the tank and its drain through another neck and removable plugs on them. On the housing there are electric current supply contacts for charging of the accumulator by a galvanic method, one of which is located on the tank, and the other one is connected to metal plates from nickel - boron alloy, and on the housing there are inlet and outlet branch pipes from a manifold of an exhaust pipe of the motor. On the housing there is an outlet branch pipe from an internal tank to hydrogen outlet to an engine feed system, and on plates from nickel - boron alloy there is a heating element with contacts on the housing surface.

EFFECT: creation of an easy-to-operate and cheap hydrogen accumulator.
