ABSTRACT:
A hydrogen storage apparatus that includes multiple gas storage tanks that each house a storing/adsorbing material and through the interior of which a fluid travels is provided. The gas storage apparatus10includes roughly cylindrical gas storage tanks20that house hydrogen-storing alloy. The multiple gas storage tanks20are disposed longitudinally parallel to each other in an ordered fashion such that roughly triangular prism-shaped empty spaces are formed between multiple adjacent hydrogen storage tanks20. Coolant paths through which coolant flows are formed in these roughly triangular prism-shaped empty spaces. These coolant paths are thermally connected to the hydrogen-storing alloy in the gas storage tanks20via constituent members of the gas storage tanks20and via heat transfer plates28disposed on the gas storage tanks20.
