COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF A SORPTION-BASED STORAGE VESSEL WITH THERMAL CONTROL FOR GASEOUS FUEL

The authors have presented a calculation model for a gas storage vessel with a microporous adsorbent and a heat pipe with radial fi nning. The model was verifi ed by experimental data derived during the testing of a methane storage vessel in the regime of complete operating cycle. The authors have given the results of parametric investigation which confi rm the important role of the factor of cooling of the adsorbent layer during the charging
of the storage vessel.
