Metal hydride heat pump for watering systems
This work is devoted to the development of the metal hydride pump for raising water from a well or other sources of water. The scheme of the device and the results of mock-up tests are presented in the report. A Solar collector serves as an energy source. The pump operates in an autonomous mode without the consumption of electric power. It can have applications in irrigation, for example, at country sites and for pumping of liquid.
