Abstract
A hydrogen replenishing device is provided with a plurality of hydrogen storage devices which are provided with hydrogen absorbing alloys of which storage pressure are different, a reformer which supplies a hydrogen to the hydrogen storage device which is provided the hydrogen absorbing alloy of which has low storage pressure, paths for replenishing a hydrogen to the compressed hydrogen tank which serves for the hydrogen absorbing alloy which has high storage pressure to absorb the highly compressed hydrogen via the path for replenishing the hydrogen storage devices, and valves which are disposed in the paths. By doing this, it is possible to reduce an installation space for the hydrogen replenishing device which can reduce a consumed energy.
