Device for methanol reforming hydrogen production by utilizing waste heat of automobile exhaust gas

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for methanol reforming hydrogen production by utilizing waste heat of automobile exhaust gas. Adiabatic ceramic wool is added between an inner shell of a reaction main body and an outer shell of the reaction main body; multiple layers of methanol water evaporation layers are stacked on a lower cover plate of the reaction main body, and then reforming reaction layers and combustion reaction layers are alternately stacked; one end of a thermocouple is inserted into the middle-layer reforming reaction layers, and the other end is connected with an electronic control unit by a temperature signal wire; the electronic control unit is connected with a methanol pump, a methanol water solution pump, an air pump, a methanol air flow control solenoid valve and a methanol water solution flow control solenoid valve respectively through circuits; one end of the methanol water solution pump is connected into a methanol water storage tank, and the other end is connected into the methanol water evaporation layers through the methanol water solution flow control solenoid valve; one end of the methanol pump is connected with a methanol storage box, and the other end is connected with the methanol water evaporation layers through the methanol air flow control solenoid valve; an upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are each provided with a plurality of exhaust gas circulation holes. Produced hydrogen is introduced into an engine for mixed combustion with gasoline, and thus the energy utilization efficiency is improved. The device can be mounted on the automobile engine.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a methanol reforming hydrogen production device, in particular to a device installed on an automobile for methanol reforming hydrogen production using the waste heat of automobile exhaust gas. technical background [0002] The development of the automobile industry is of great significance to the development of the global economy. However, the large amount of exhaust gas emitted by automobiles has caused serious pollution and endangered our human living environment. In addition, nowadays an increasing number of cars are rapidly consuming oil resources, and all the proven oil resources in the world will be exhausted in a few decades. At that time, what power the cars rely on will be a major problem facing mankind. my country's oil reserves are even less optimistic. Most of my country's oil consumption depends on foreign imports. Energy has become the key to restricting my country's economic development. Against the background of oil...
