Abstract

The invention relates to the field of hydrogen production, and discloses a hydrogen production system. The hydrogen production system comprises a heat collection mechanism, a hydrogen production mechanism and a heat exchanger, wherein the heat collection mechanism comprises a heat collector and a liquid metal pipeline, the liquid metal pipeline is connected with a heat collector, the heat collector is used for absorbing heat, and the liquid metal pipeline is filled with liquid metal; and the heat exchanger is respectively connected with the hydrogen production mechanism and the liquid metal pipeline. The invention also discloses a hydrogen production method. The hydrogen production method comprises the following steps: the heat collector collects heat and transfers the heat to liquid metal of the liquid metal pipeline; and the liquid metal is introduced into the heat exchanger to provide heat for the reaction of the hydrogen production mechanism. The liquid metal is used for replacing molten salt as a heat transfer medium, has lower melting point and higher boiling point, can be kept at a liquid state in a large temperature range, does not have phase change and is stable in heat transfer; the liquid metal has the heat conductivity which is far higher than that of nonmetal cooling agents such as air and water and is high in heat transfer efficiency; the mobility is good; and the efficiency and the stability of the hydrogen production system can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of hydrogen production, in particular to a hydrogen production system and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] Today's fossil energy supply situation is increasingly severe, and the use of fossil energy forces the ecological environment to be continuously destroyed. The development and utilization of renewable energy has become the only way for my country to achieve sustainable energy development. Solar energy resources are clean, pollution-free, and have large reserves, but they are characterized by dispersion, instability, and discontinuity. Converting solar energy into chemical energy can solve the problems of solar energy storage, transportation, and space constraints. [0003] As a clean energy, hydrogen energy is considered to be the most ideal bridge connecting fossil energy and renewable energy. The development of efficient and low-cost solar hydrogen production technology has become an internatio...
