Significant enhancement of hydrogen absorption performance by optimizing structure and operating parameters in magnesium-based alloy hydrogen storage reactors
Metal hydride (MH) reactors are key components in industrial-scale storage and transport of hydrogen, offering benefits such as high volumetric hydrogen storage density and safety. However, the application of large-scale tanks is constrained by the significant heat generated during hydrogen absorption. This study investigates the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the Mg92Ni4La1Mn3 alloy. A model is developed to optimize the hydrogen absorption performance of the Mg-based MH reactor by incorporating heat exchange tubes and fins. This approach significantly enhances hydrogen absorption kinetics. The Straight tube + Spiral fins reactor (ST-SFR) shows excellent hydrogen absorption performance as well as heat transfer efficiency. Based on the 5 Straight tube reactor (5ST-R), a three-dimensional model of 5 Straight tube + Spiral fin reactor (5ST-SFR) is designed, incorporating five heat exchange tubes and spiral fins to facilitate efficient heat transfer. Through simulation and analysis, the optimal operating parameters are determined: hydrogen supply pressure of 2.0 MPa, initial temperature of 513 K, and HTF flow velocity of 2.0 m/s. Compared to the 5ST-R, the 5ST-SFR reduces the time required to reach 95 % hydrogen absorption (t95 % = 260.3 s) by 27.5 % and decreases the required HTF mass flow rate by 47.6 %. The established mathematical model and reactor structure design provide technical support for the advancement and utilization of large-scale Mg-based MH reactors.
