Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method for discharging a hydrogen storage system that is found in the annular space of a receiver tube, in particular for solar collectors, wherein the annular space is formed at least by an outer-lying tubular jacket and an inner-lying absorber tube of the receiver tube, and the outer-lying tubular jacket is joined by means of a wall to the absorber tube. The method is hereby characterized in that a first opening penetrating the tubular jacket or the wall is produced under a protective gas atmosphere, wherein protective gas enters through the first opening into the annular space, after which a process chamber with a connection for a vacuum pump is arranged in a gas-tight manner above the first opening, the receiver tube is evacuated through the first opening, and the first opening is subsequently sealed in a gas-tight manner.
