              Abstract

              The present article deals with the material and energy balance of a fuel cell during hydrogen supply from a metal hydride tank. It describes potential utilisation of heat from a fuel cell for heating a tank in order to achieve the required kinetics of the process. The concluding part hereof contains a numerical calculation of the thermal field of the designed tank during the fuel cell operation.
