Solid-H Hydrogen Storage Container - BL20 Series

Solid-H™ Hydrogen Storage Container - BL20 Series

Overview

SOLID-H™ hydrogen storage containers utilize metal powders (metal hydrides) to absorb and release hydrogen. You may already be familiar with metal hydrides, as they are commonly used in nickel-metal hydride batteries found in laptop computers.

The most popular SOLID-H™ containers provide a few atmospheres of hydrogen gas pressure at room temperature, offering the safest method for storing flammable hydrogen gas. In the event of a leak in your hydrogen system, SOLID-H™ releases only a small fraction of its stored hydrogen immediately, with the remainder released gradually over several hours.

Common applications of SOLID-H™ include supplying hydrogen for gas chromatographs and serving as fuel storage for hydrogen engines or fuel cells

The prefix of the part number indicates the container material. BL indicates a stainless steel container, except the BL-18, which is carbon steel. CL indicates an aluminum industrial gas cylinder. Standard quick connects and relief valves are made of brass.

The part number specifies the hydrogen capacity in standard liters (1 bar absolute pressure at 0 °C ). CL-370A means 370 standard liters of hydrogen capacity from Alloy A, the standard alloy for this container. There are several alloy type, and alloy A contains iron and titanium. Alloys L, M and H contain rare earth metals and nickel.
