ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for compressing hydrogen gas includes a hydrogen source, a hydrogen receiver, and a pair of hydride reservoirs. Each of the hydride reservoirs is capable of reacting with hydrogen gas therein and includes a jacket for the receipt of a heating and cooling medium therein. Each of the hydride reservoirs selectively receives the hydrogen gas from the hydrogen source and discharges the hydrogen gas to the hydrogen receiver. A heat pump means is operably connected to each of the hydride reservoirs by way of the heating and cooling medium for selectively cooling one of the hydride reservoirs while heating the other hydride reservoir and heating the one hydride reservoir while cooling the other hydride reservoir. There is also included a method of compressing hydrogen gas by using at least one hydride reservoir and a heat pump for transferring heat thereto and therefrom.
