Abstract: A hydrogen storage unit which uses hydrogen storage alloys (10) to store hydrogen, and more particularly a heat transfer management/compartmentalization system for use in such a system. The hydrogen storage alloy may be divided into compartments, separated by disks (13), further divided into subcompartments by a flapper wheel. The disks (13) and flapper wheel provide for optimal heat transfer throughout the system. The compartmentalization of the vessel may prevent compaction of the hydrogen storage alloys, which could lead to excessive strain on the vessel causing damage, deformation, or rupture of the vessel.
