Popis: Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology is a promising alternative to traditional compressed (CNG) and liquefied (LNG) natural gas systems. Nevertheless, energy efficiency and storage capacity of ANG system strongly depends on thermal management of its inner volume because of significant heat effects occurring during adsorption/desorption processes. At the same time low-temperature charging of ANG system provides its higher storage capacity as well as increased fire and explosion safety due to lower operating pressure and “bound-state” of gas molecules with the surface of adsorbent. In present work, a prototype of low-temperature circulating charging system for ANG storage tank filled with shaped microporous carbon adsorbent was studied experimentally in wide ranges of pressures (0.5-3.5 MPa) and gas flow rates (8-18 m3/h).
