Abstract
Recently, hydrogen has been proposed for therapeutic and preventive applications, in addition to its energy potential. However, its conventional storage and distribution, as a high-pressure gas at a very low temperature, consumes high power and presents an explosion hazard in a confined area, especially in buildings. Our study aims to calculate the hydrogen distribution distance in buildings based on safe storage implementation with energy savings, through the pipeline, from activated carbon material for storage to the supply valve. The release of gas is induced by the desorption process at an ambient heating temperature or greater, by free convection or solar energy, respectively. The results show that over more than 1 km distribution distance of hydrogen released at atmospheric pressure can be achieved, under the studied interval of heating temperatures, recommended safe pipeline diameters, flow rates and ambient temperature. However, heat loss during transport remains the most important parameter affecting the transport distance.
