Description
Technical Field

[0002] As a green, efficient and clean energy, hydrogen has a wide range of uses and will occupy an important position in my country's future energy system. my country has abundant reserves of natural gas resources. Hydrogen is produced by reforming natural gas and water vapor at high temperatures. The hydrogen production efficiency is high and it is well matched with high-temperature application scenarios of hydrogen (such as high-temperature fuel cells). At present, natural gas reforming reactors generally use direct combustion of natural gas to supply the heat required for reforming, such as the natural gas / methane reformer of Ningbo Institute of Materials and Ningbo Soforen Company.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments. The description of the following embodiments is only used to help understand the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principles of the present invention, several improvements and modifications may be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] The first embodiment of the present application provides a natural gas reforming microchannel reactor based on catalytic combustion. Since the catalytic combustion of natural gas in a microchannel will encounter problems such as short gas residence time, low combustion efficiency, and unstable combustion, the present invention adopts a volute structure flow field to concentrate the part with low fuel concentration in the center of the volute to ensure the stability of catalytic combustion; high-temperature flue gas and reforming reaction microchannel flow fields are symmetrically and staggered on both sides of the catalytic combustion chamber, the device has high integration, good heat exchange efficiency, and can ensure the reforming effect. Its structure includes three parts: catalytic combustion chamber, reforming reaction chamber, and high-temperature flue gas chamber.
[0031] The catalytic combustion chamber is mainly composed of a first catalytic combustion flow field plate 10 and a second catalytic combustion flow field plate 11 arranged symmetrically. A fluid mixing guide plate (either a flat guide plate or a spiral guide plate) is arranged at the flow field inlet of the catalytic combustion chamber. The flow field body is a volute structure (either an equal pitch or an unequal pitch volute structure), and baffles are arranged along the flow field direction. Exhaust holes are set at the center positions of the first catalytic combustion flow field plate 10 and the second catalytic combustion flow field plate 11, and a combustion catalyst is coated on the inner surface of the flow field.
[0032] The reforming reaction chamber is formed by symmetrically arranging the first reforming microchannel plate 9 and the second reforming microchannel plate 12 on both sides of the catalytic combustion chamber. Four air cavity partition plates perpendicular to the circumferential tangent are evenly arranged on the outer edge of the circumference of the first reforming microchannel plate 9 and the second reforming microchannel plate 12. Blunt bodies are arranged inside the flow field to strengthen the back mixing flow (the shape of the blunt bodies is not limited). 1 / 4 arc cavity walls are arranged on both sides along the fluid flow direction.

[0033] The high-temperature flue gas cavity is formed by arranging the first high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate 8 and the second high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate 13 on the outside of the reforming microchannel plate. Four air cavity partition plates perpendicular to the circumferential tangent are evenly arranged on the outer edge of the circumference of the first high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate 8 and the second high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate 13, and correspond to the air cavity partition plates of the reforming microchannel plate.

The arc cavity walls of the high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate and the arc cavity walls of the reforming microchannel plate are staggered (which play the role of separating the airflow and controlling the fluid outflow direction, so that the high-temperature flue gas and the reforming gas can only flow into the gas collection cavity from their respective gas distribution cavities without mixing). The first high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate 8 and the second high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate 13 have narrow grooves along the diameter direction to form a high-temperature flue gas distribution cavity 17.

The corresponding chambers on the outside of the arc cavity wall on both sides of the high-temperature flue gas microchannel plate are the reformed gas distribution chamber 19 and the reformed gas collection chamber 20. The corresponding chambers on the outside of the arc cavity wall on both sides of the reforming microchannel plate are the flue gas collection chamber A21 and the flue gas collection chamber B22.

A gap is left between the cover 15 and the lower end cover 14.
[0038] Embodiment 3
[0039] Embodiment 3 of the present application provides a working method of a natural gas reforming microchannel reactor based on catalytic combustion, comprising the following steps:
[0040] S1. When the reactor is working, natural gas and air enter the inlet of the catalytic combustion chamber through the first natural gas inlet pipe 1 and the air inlet pipe 2 respectively, and then flow into the volute structure flow field of the catalytic combustion chamber after mixing in the catalytic combustion gas mixing chamber 18 to perform catalytic combustion reaction;
[0041] S2. The high-temperature flue gas generated by the catalytic combustion reaction diffuses from the exhaust hole in the center of the catalytic combustion chamber to the upper and lower sides and enters the high-temperature flue gas distribution chamber 17, where the gas is distributed and then flows into the high-temperature flue gas chamber for heat exchange, and then is discharged into the flue gas collection chamber A21 and the flue gas collection chamber B22, wherein the flue gas in the flue gas collection chamber A21 enters the bottom space of the housing 15 through the flue gas reflux pipe 16, then goes up into the flue gas collection chamber B22 and merges with the flue gas in the flue gas collection chamber B22 and is discharged from the flue gas exhaust outlet pipe 5 together;

[0043] The natural gas reforming reactor of the microchannel laminated structure of the present invention adopts the natural gas catalytic combustion method to supply the heat required for reforming. The volute structure flow field is adopted in the catalytic combustion part, which greatly increases the contact area between the fuel micro-element and the catalyst, thereby improving the reaction efficiency; at the same time, the part with lower fuel concentration is closer to the center of the volute, and the heat loss at the center is small, so stable combustion can be maintained when the fuel concentration is low. The high-temperature flue gas after catalytic combustion and the reforming gas are arranged in a staggered laminated manner through the microchannel flow field to ensure heat exchange performance and improve reforming efficiency.
