Abstract
Abstract
Low thermal conductivity of metal hydride beds significantly limits the hydrogen absorption kinetics and performance of metal hydride storage systems. This study presents a new design of a passive internal heat exchanger for a certified MNTZV-159 low-pressure hydrogen storage tank using the Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures. The parametric improvement in the design of a cylindrical Diamond TPMS-based geometry was performed by applying various cell dimensions, arc counts, and wall thicknesses while maintaining the original volume of the heat exchanger. The analysed configuration was subsequently evaluated through three-dimensional numerical heat-transfer simulations conducted in ANSYS CFX. Compared with the original finned heat exchanger, the TPMS-based design reduced the average metal hydride temperature from 107.7 °C to 86.2 °C and the maximum temperature from 130.9 °C to 114.0 °C. The improved temperature uniformity enhanced the heat removal from the hydride bed and created more favourable conditions for hydrogen absorption. The results demonstrated that TPMS structures constitute a promising solution for improving passive thermal management in metal hydride hydrogen storage systems while maintaining the storage capacity of the vessel.
