ABSTRACT:
An air conditioner for an automobile includes two pairs of hydrogen storage cells. Each cell includes a hydride-forming material, which absorbs hydrogen while generating heat, and releases hydrogen while absorbing heat. One pair of cells operates as an air conditioner, absorbing heat from the interior of the automobile and discharging heat to the outside. The other pair of cells is regenerated by supplying heat from the engine exhaust to one of the cells, while allowing heat generated at the other cell of the pair to be discharged to the outside. A system of valves is arranged such that one cell pair is always functioning as an air conditioner while the other cell pair is being regenerated.
