Hydrogen storage with thermal control
The need
« I want to regulate the loop temperature to store and release hydrogen »
Thermal control with Vento to store and release hydrogen
Vento connects the thermal control system in ATOM H2's hydrogen storage module. Temperature probes measure the water loop, and the control logic decides when to cool or heat the vessels to store, retain or release hydrogen. The system combines batteries for immediate response with metal-hydride storage to retain surplus renewable energy for longer periods.
How Vento helps
- 01Connects the temperature probes, valves and ESP32
- 02Turns circuit readings into decisions to store or release hydrogen
- 03Coordinates the heating and cooling of the vessels
- 04Lets you monitor the circuit temperature and use Vento to control when the valves open or close
How it works
01
Connect the temperature probes
Vento receives the water-loop temperatures and turns them into data the control system can use.
02
Build the control logic
Define in Vento when to cool, heat or maintain the vessels according to the storage state.
03
Automate hydrogen storage
Vento applies that logic to the valves and ESP32 to store, retain or release hydrogen.
