An adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage system with internal thermal control, based on fin and tube type heat exchanger is investigated in this study. The adsorbent bed, which consists of Maxsorb III activated carbon packed in between copper fins and tubes, is demonstrated to study the storage capacity and thermal management of the ANG storage system. The cylinder is pressurized up to 35 bar and water is circulated through the tubes during charge process for quick removal of adsorption heat, thus to increase the storage capacity. Similarly, the adsorbent bed is heated up during discharge process to maximize the gas delivery. The current experimental arrangement presented shows higher storage capacity and better thermal management than the adsorbent bed without fin and tube arrangement.
