Abstract
An Electric Pulse Hydride Injector (EPHI) designed for safe interim tritium storagehas been developed for the dosed supply of hydrogen isotopes in a time interval ranging fromseveral milliseconds up to hundreds of seconds. The release of gas occurs via current pulsesthrough the active elements of the EPHI, each of which is made of a thin molybdenum foil coatedon both sides with a thin titanium powder layer. The pulses are generated by a twenty sectorcurrent source. With this source the foils can be heated individually or in groups. In this way it ispossible to release a wide spectrum of hydrogen quantities. The shape, height and length of thecurrent pulses can be varied as required to release a predetermined amount of hydrogen. An extensive parametric study on the performance of the injector has been carried out inthe laboratory. The data obtained have been used for the development of a model thatsatisfactorily describes the injector operation. © 1999 International Association for HydrogenEnergy.
