ZrBDC-Based Functional Adsorbents for Small-Scale Methane Storage Systems

Figure 3

Schematic representation of the experimental ANG bench for direct measurements of adsorbed methane storage: 1-ANG storage vessel (adsorber) loaded with the shaped MOF-based pellets; 2-thermostatically controlled chamber filled with a coolant/heat carrier medium; 3-methane source; 4-low-pressure receiver; 5-compressor; 6-high-pressure receiver; PI1-3: pressure indicators; PR1-2: pressure regulator valves; V1-4: gas lock valves; TTI: temperature detector; TRC: temperature adjustment unit; FQI: gas counter.
