The Bureau of Mines has sponsored an investigation on the use of hydrogen as a clean and safe fuel for mine vehicles. Design and operational details of a metal hydride fuel system that stores nearly 6 kg of hydrogen to fuel a four cylinder engine modified to operate on hydrogen are given. The fuel storage system utilizes two different hydride formulations (one for cold-start, another for normal operation) in a shell and tube-type heat exchanger, which makes use of the engine coolant waste heat to desorb or liberate the hydrogen.
