Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a separator, in particular to a hydrogen-water separator. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the temperature of the electrolytic cell increases with the extension of the working time, and the temperature of hydrogen and water also increases continuously. At this time, there is no timely heat dissipation device, the gas and liquid cannot be fully cooled, and there is not enough gas and water contact with the wall and cannot be completely separated. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that a metal slit groove is arranged inside the outer wall of the metal tube. The hydrogen water not only obtains sufficient heat dissipation when passing through the winding metal fibers from top to bottom, but also the contact surface of the metal fibers is several times larger than the flat surface area, which can fully separate the gas and liquid.

[0004] The hydrogen-water separator of the present invention is realized by the following technical scheme: a hydrogen-water separator, comprising a hydrogen outlet, a hydrogen-water inlet, a separator shell, a hydrogen tank and a metal tube, wherein a separator inner cylinder is arranged inside the separator shell, the metal tube is installed in the separator inner cylinder, the hydrogen-water inlet is arranged at the upper end of the separator shell, a gap is provided at the connection between the separator inner cylinder and the metal tube, the hydrogen-water inlet is connected to the gap, a guide structure is provided on the outer wall of the metal tube, and the hydrogen-water flows from the guide structure from top to bottom.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution, a hydrogen outlet is arranged at the upper end of the separator shell, and the hydrogen outlet is connected to a hydrogen tank for receiving hydrogen.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, a drain port is provided at the lower side of the separator housing for draining water.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a hydrogen-water channel is provided on one side below the inner cylinder of the separator, and the metal gap groove is connected to the hydrogen tank through the hydrogen-water channel. During operation, hydrogen-water can only move to the hydrogen-water channel through the winding channel, and the heat brought by the hydrogen-water is continuously transferred to the outer wall of the metal tube during this arduous movement.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a hydrogen-water channel is provided on one side below the inner cylinder of the separator, and the metal gap groove is connected with the hydrogen tank through the hydrogen-water channel.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a pressurizing device is provided in the hydrogen tank, and the hydrogen in the upper part of the hydrogen tank is discharged through the hydrogen outlet after being pressurized.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the top of the metal tube is conductive, so that heat can be continuously dissipated upwards by air convection.

[0011] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the present invention adopts a metal tube and irregular slit grooves arranged on the outer wall surface of the metal tube. The process of gas and water passing through the tortuous bends from top to bottom not only obtains sufficient heat dissipation, but also the contact surface is several times larger than the flat surface area, thereby enabling the gas and liquid to be fully separated.

[0019] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed", "socketed", "connected", "through", "plugged" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a hydrogen-water separator of the present invention comprises a hydrogen outlet 1, a hydrogen-water inlet 2, a hydrogen tank 5, a separator shell 8 and a metal tube 4, wherein a separator inner tube 9 is provided inside the separator shell 8, and the metal tube 4 is provided inside the separator inner tube 9;

[0021] The hydrogen water inlet 2 is arranged at the upper end of the separator shell 8. There is a gap at the connection between the separator inner tube 9 and the metal tube 4. The hydrogen water inlet 2 is connected to the gap. The outer wall of the metal tube 4 is provided with a guide structure, and the hydrogen water flows from the guide structure from top to bottom.

[0022] In this embodiment, the hydrogen outlet 1 is disposed at the upper end of the separator shell 8, and the hydrogen outlet 1 is connected to the hydrogen tank 5 for receiving hydrogen.

[0023] A drain port 6 is provided at the lower side of the separator housing 8, and the water after the hydrogen water and hydrogen gas are separated is discharged through the drain port.

[0024] In this embodiment, the flow guiding structure is an irregular slit groove 3 opened on the outer wall of the metal, and a hydrogen-water channel 7 is provided on one side below the inner cylinder of the separator, and the irregular slit groove 3 is connected with the hydrogen tank 5 through the hydrogen-water channel 7. The hydrogen-water can only move to the hydrogen-water channel 7 through the tortuous channel, and the heat brought by the hydrogen-water is continuously transferred to the outer wall of the metal tube 4 during this difficult movement, and then the heat is dissipated through the metal tube.

[0025] In this embodiment, a pressurizing device is provided in the hydrogen tank 5 , and the hydrogen in the upper part of the hydrogen tank 5 is discharged through the hydrogen outlet 1 after being pressurized.

[0026] In this embodiment, the top of the metal tube 4 is connected to the external atmosphere for heat exchange, and can continuously dissipate heat upwards by air convection.

[0027] The working process is as follows: hydrogen water enters through the inlet and moves downward through the metal slit grooves on the outer wall of the metal tube. Because the metal slit grooves on the outer wall of the metal tube are irregular slits, hydrogen water can only move to the hydrogen water channel through the tortuous channels;

[0028] During this movement process, the heat brought by the hydrogen and water is continuously transferred to the outer wall of the metal tube and then conducted to the inner wall of the metal tube. Because the inner wall of the metal tube is an axial perforated structure, it can continuously dissipate heat upward by air convection. Until the hydrogen and water reach the hydrogen-water channel, they contact the metal surface with a sufficient area to achieve full separation of hydrogen and water. The water accumulated at the bottom of the hydrogen tank is discharged through the drain port, and the hydrogen at the top of the hydrogen tank is discharged through the hydrogen outlet after being pressurized.

[0029] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
