Fuel module used for spray gun, fuel cell device, thermal spraying device, thermal deburring device and fullerene manufacturing device

Abstract

A fuel module is used for supplying gas fuel, under an increased pressure, to a spray gun, a fuel cell device, a thermal spraying device, a thermal deburring device or a fullerene manufacturing device from a relatively low-pressure gas fuel source (such as a natural gas supplying system). The fuel module can also include an alternative system which can be operated selectably. The alternative system is used for supplying compressed natural gas to other applications and includes a device which is used for supplying fuel to one or more storage containers. The fuel module is characterized in that a discharge pressure of the gas fuel can be freely changed and can be adjusted in a preset manner within the capacity of a compressor device of the fuel module. The fuel module is also characterized by being used for cooling and filtering oil come from the compressor. The oil is cooled and filtered for prolonging a service life of the compressor. In addition, under poor working situations, operation of the fuel module can be carried out at a higher output gas pressure and a higher output gas pressure.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to fuel cell equipment, thermal spray equipment, thermal deburring equipment, fullerene manufacturing equipment, and various torches or similar torches for cutting, welding or thermally processing metallic or non-metallic materials. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fuel device for supplying fuel to said fuel cell device, thermal spray device, thermal deburring device, fullerene manufacturing device and / or spray gun or similar spray gun device. The general term "welding" as used herein includes welding, brazing or other known process by which separate objects or pieces of material are joined to each other or Fusion. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy (i.e. electricity) through a chemical reaction with oxygen or other oxidizing agents. Hydrocarbons (such as natural gas) can be used as fuel in some fuel cell devices (such ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The supply of these fuels for the various processing methods described above tends to be very expensive and inconvenient in many applications because of the need to procure and ship such fuel pre-filled in storage containers, or to refill and ship pre-existing storage containers

Furthermore, these fuels often need to be supplied at different flow rates or at different pressures to spray guns or similar equipment, thermal spray equipment, thermal deburring equipment, fullerene manufacturing, because of different process pressures and other parameters related to the above process equipment or fuel cell equipment, thereby rendering the equipment incompatible or irreplaceable in some of the above operations
