Description

Technical Field

[0002] As the demand for clean energy continues to increase, biomass hydrogen production technology has attracted much attention as a potential renewable energy solution. Biomass refers to plant or animal materials that store chemical energy and solar energy, and has traditionally been widely used in heat generation or various industrial processes. Biomass contains a large amount of hydrogen, which is an excellent raw material for hydrogen production and has rich recycling value.

[0003] Biomass hydrogen production technology can be divided into high-temperature hydrogen production and low-temperature hydrogen production according to temperature. Among them, the temperature of low-temperature hydrogen production is generally 15-25 degrees. The lower temperature can effectively inhibit the production of methane during the reaction, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of hydrogen. Therefore, low-temperature biomass hydrogen production technology has its unique development advantages compared to high-temperature biomass hydrogen production technology.

[0004] However, when producing hydrogen at low temperature, the biomass must first be cooked and pyrolyzed in the gasification chamber. The gas produced by pyrolysis needs to be reduced to 15-25 degrees before it can contact and react with the reaction enzyme. In this process, the heat energy of the pyrolysis gas cannot be used, and more energy must be consumed to offset this part of the heat, reducing the efficiency of energy utilization; at the same time, when producing hydrogen at low temperature, a certain humidity must be maintained. The reaction enzyme has a higher reaction efficiency and a better hydrogen conversion rate in a low temperature and high humidity environment. However, low temperature and high humidity are contrary to traditional high temperature and high humidity. When the temperature is low, water is not easy to evaporate and it is not easy to form a high humidity environment.

[0043] At the same time, after the moisture under the first layer 35 is converted into steam, the water vapor enters the steam pipe 12. When the pressure of the water vapor reaches a certain value, the pressure valve 13 is opened, and the water vapor enters the heat sink 16. Under the action of the water vapor and the inner fan blades 30, the steam fan 14 rotates and drives the intake fan 10 to rotate through the conveyor belt 15. When the intake fan 10 rotates, the external gas is blown into the annular airway 32 of the injection amplifier 11. The gas flows along the annular airway 32 and flows out from the injection slit 33. Because the spacing of the injection slit 33 is small, the gas flow rate here increases and the pressure decreases. The external gas is affected by the atmospheric pressure and flows into the center of the injection amplifier 11, generating an air injection effect, so that the cooling air volume acting on the heat sink 16 can reach dozens of times the air volume of the intake fan 10. The air injection effect is used to achieve the effect of amplified cooling. After being cooled by the heat sink 16 and the injection amplifier 11, the water vapor is re-condensed into liquid and then flows into the primary cooling space at the bottom of the reaction box 23, forming a circulating cooling effect.

[0044] After the pyrolysis gas is initially cooled down and reaches the retention tube 25, the air compressor 17 pushes the liquid refrigerant inside into the evaporator through the lower water distribution pipe of the double pipe 18. The liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat dissipated by the retention tube 25, evaporates into gas, and then enters the heat sink 16. The temperature of the pyrolysis gas inside the retention tube 25 is further reduced. When the internal temperature detected by the temperature sensor 27 is not within the control range, the lower expansion valve 20 will automatically adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant, so that the temperature of the space where the retention tube 25 is located is automatically adjusted to an appropriate range; the gaseous refrigerant enters the heat sink 16, and with the assistance of the condensing fan 21, it is re-condensed and liquefied, releasing a large amount of heat, and then enters the air compressor 17 again, forming a circulating refrigeration effect.

[0045] The pyrolysis gas after cooling overflows from the retention tube 25, enters the anti-filling tube 26 from the vent hole 37, and then flows out from the exhaust hole 34 of the anti-filling tube 26. At this time, the temperature of the pyrolysis gas has been reduced to within the reaction range of 15-25 degrees, and the vacuum pump 7 also adjusts the pressure in the space where the anti-filling tube 26 is located to within the range of 1700Pa-3200Pa. At this pressure and ambient temperature, water will evaporate, increasing the humidity in the space, and the low-temperature reaction enzyme will quickly react with the gas to obtain hydrogen at this temperature and humidity; as the reaction process accelerates, the temperature and humidity in the space will gradually change. The upper expansion valve 19 has the same operating principle as the lower expansion valve 20. After the temperature sensor 28 detects the temperature change, the upper expansion valve 19 will automatically adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant in the current space, so that the temperature in the reaction space is within the required range, and after the humidity sensor 29 detects the humidity change, it will control the vacuum pump 7 to adjust the pressure in the space, thereby adjusting the evaporation rate of water, so as to control the humidity within a reasonable range.

[0046] After the reaction is completed, the space above the first plate 35 is filled with hydrogen and other impurity gases, the on-off valve 8 above the reaction box 23 is opened, and the mixed gas flows into the separator 3 from the on-off valve 8, and pure hydrogen is obtained after separation.
