• Individual hydrogen system for each of 3 absorbers.
• Use of a metal hydride bed for hydrogen storage.
• Compact location of the components under hydrogen extraction hood close to the absorber.

•To construct a prototype hydrogen handling system at RAL which will become the first full system of MICE
•This will consist of 2 main parts
•The external system – which will be in the final form
•to deliver H2 to the absorber and store the H2 in the hydride beds
•The safety system to vent H2 in failure modes- to include relief valves and buffer volume
•The dummy absorber
•The absorber will be simulated by a simple cryostat with a containment vessel to contain 20 litres of H2 – operated from a condensing pot with a cryocooler

The development programme will address the following issues:
•Confirm the working parameters of a hydride bed in the regimes of storage, absorption and desorption of hydrogen ?
•Purity of hydrogen and effects of impurities.
•Hydride bed heating/ cooling power requirements.
•Instrumentation and control required for the operation of the system
•Safety aspects including - safety relief valves, sensors and interlocks and safety documentation
•The R&D programme will enable the final design for the MICE hydrogen system to be confirmed and the HAZOP to be completed.

Hydrogen test cryostat: Concept
T H
T H
• Instrumentation mimics what we will need on the absorber for the control system and interlocks
• Heater will regulate temperature of cryocooler – need redundancy and interlock with compressor
• Dia.Reservoir =height=290mm
