[0048] The present invention provides a system for reducing the power consumption of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water using industrial waste heat, and the system comprises the following components:
[0049] 1. Electrolyzer 110: used to electrolyze water to generate hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolyzer 110 has an anode and a cathode, which are connected to the positive and negative electrodes of a DC power source, respectively, to decompose water by DC power.
[0050] The electrolytic cell 110 includes a cell body and a cathode and an anode disposed in the cell body. The electrolytic cell 110 is connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply via its cathode and anode.
[0051] The electrolytic cell 110 is made of corrosion-resistant materials, including stainless steel, titanium alloy or nickel alloy.
[0052] Operating Temperature: The operating temperature range of the electrolyzer 110 is 40° C. to 90° C. This temperature range allows the system to effectively utilize waste heat from industrial processes, reducing the need for additional heating, thereby saving energy.
[0053] Voltage Range: The operating voltage of a single cell of the electrolyzer 110 is between 1.8 V and 2.2 V. The lower voltage requirement means that the system can be operated at a lower energy cost, thereby reducing the cost of hydrogen production.
[0054] Current density: The working current density of electrolytic cell 110 is 1000A / m 2 Up to 10000A / m 2 A higher current density can increase the hydrogen production rate, allowing more hydrogen to be produced per unit time.
[0055] 2. Waste heat exchange device 120: connected to industrial production equipment to obtain industrial waste heat. The waste heat exchange device 120 includes a plate heat exchanger, a shell and tube heat exchanger or a heat pipe heat exchanger, and the specific selection depends on the nature and temperature of the industrial waste heat.
[0056] Heat exchange efficiency: The heat exchange efficiency of the waste heat exchange device 120 reaches more than 85%. High heat exchange efficiency means that more industrial waste heat can be effectively utilized, reducing energy waste and improving energy utilization efficiency.
[0057] Material: The heat exchange device is made of high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant materials, such as stainless steel or alloy materials. The use of stainless steel or alloy materials can ensure that the heat exchange device can operate stably for a long time in high temperature and corrosive environments, extending the service life of the equipment.
[0058] Temperature range: The heat exchange device can process temperatures between 100°C and 500°C. The wide processing temperature range enables the heat exchange device to be used for waste heat recovery in a variety of industrial processes, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the system.
[0059] 3. Waste heat transfer device 130: used to transfer the waste heat obtained by the waste heat exchange device 120 to the electrolytic cell 110. The waste heat transfer device 130 includes a heat transfer pipe, a circulation pump and a heat medium structure (the heat medium structure includes heat media such as water, steam or heat transfer oil), ensuring that the waste heat can be efficiently transferred to the electrolytic cell 110.
[0060] Material of heat transfer pipe: copper pipe or stainless steel pipe, the pipe diameter is determined according to the system design.
[0061] Circulation pump: Choose a high temperature and corrosion resistant circulation pump with a flow range of 1m 3 / h to 10m 3 / h. The high temperature and corrosion resistant circulation pump can continue to work in harsh environments, reduce failures caused by pump material problems, and ensure continuous operation of the system. The flow range is from 1m 3 / h to 10m 3 / h means that the circulation volume can be adjusted according to actual needs, which is suitable for systems of different sizes and increases the flexibility of the system.
[0062] Heat transfer medium: high temperature thermal oil (working temperature 150℃ to 300℃) or hot water (working temperature 40℃ to 100℃). Choosing high temperature thermal oil or hot water as the heat transfer medium can meet the heat exchange requirements in different temperature ranges, allowing the system to adapt to more diverse application scenarios. High temperature thermal oil has good thermal stability at higher temperatures and can maintain good heat transfer performance at high temperatures; hot water provides stable heat transfer in a lower temperature range, and both can effectively improve heat exchange efficiency.
[0063] Heat medium: the medium used to transfer waste heat. Different heat media can be selected according to the temperature of industrial waste heat, such as heat transfer oil for high temperature, steam for medium temperature, and water for low temperature.
[0064] High temperature heat transfer oil: thermal conductivity 0.12W / m·K, operating temperature 150℃ to 300℃. Heat transfer oil working at high temperature has good thermal stability, which means that it can maintain its physical and chemical properties unchanged in high temperature environment and will not easily decompose or deteriorate. Within the specified operating temperature range, heat transfer oil can effectively transfer heat, especially in the medium and high temperature range.
[0065] Steam: Saturated steam, pressure 0.1MPa to 1.0MPa. Different pressure ranges allow the system to adjust the steam pressure according to actual needs to adapt to different heat load requirements. As a heat carrier, saturated steam has good heat transfer properties and can quickly transfer heat.
[0066] Hot water: temperature range 40℃ to 100℃. Hot water covers a wide temperature range and can meet the needs of different applications, such as preheating, heating, etc. As a relatively cheap and easily available heat source, hot water can reduce the operating cost of the system.

It includes a temperature sensor, a controller and a regulating valve to ensure that the temperature of the electrolytic cell 110 is maintained within a set range to improve the electrolysis efficiency.
[0068] Temperature sensor: accuracy ±0.5℃, measuring range 0℃ to 300℃. The accuracy of ±0.5℃ means that the temperature sensor can provide very accurate temperature readings, which is critical for processes that require strict temperature control. The measuring range of 0℃ to 300℃ covers application scenarios from low temperature to high temperature, making the sensor suitable for a variety of industrial environments.
[0069] Controller: PID controller, used to precisely regulate temperature. The PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller can automatically adjust the control quantity according to the deviation between the set value and the actual measured value to achieve precise temperature control.
[0070] Control valve: Electric control valve, temperature resistance 150℃ to 300℃, control accuracy ±2%. The electric control valve can work normally in the temperature range of 150℃ to 300℃ and is suitable for high temperature environment. The control accuracy of ±2% means that the control valve can control the fluid flow very finely, thereby achieving precise temperature regulation.
[0071] Insulation device: The insulation device is made of insulation material, which covers the outside of the electrolytic cell 110 and the waste heat conduction system to reduce heat loss and improve thermal energy utilization efficiency.
[0072] Material Type: Rockwool or Ceramic Fiber.
[0073] Thermal insulation performance: thermal conductivity is less than 0.04W / m·K.
