The converter tube is a straight tube, and the reaction raw materials are passed into the converter tube. The converter tube is a high-temperature medium-pressure furnace tube heated by direct flame. The maximum temperature of the converter tube wall is as high as thousands of degrees Celsius; the heat required for the converter tube reaction is mainly provided by the fuel gas after burning through the furnace top burner. The tube is filled with catalysts, and preheated biogas and high-temperature and high-pressure process steam are passed into the tube to produce catalytic cracking reactions. The converted gas obtained by the reaction is led to the next step of hydrogen production through a pipeline. In the straight conversion tube, biogas and water vapor mainly react to generate hydrogen and carbon monoxide under the action of the catalyst.

[0003] However, the existing ones have the following defects: 1. In the entire system, the converter is high and the converter tube is long, so the skid-mounted equipment is bulky and not conducive to miniaturization.

[0004] 2. The skid-mounted device is large in size, difficult to transport and troublesome to install.

[0005] 3. It occupies a large area and has high investment cost.

[0014] Furthermore, a safety distance is left between the conversion coils.

[0015] Furthermore, a safety distance is left between the conversion coil and the outer wall of the conversion furnace.

[0016] Beneficial effects of this application:

This makes the device easier to transport and install, and is suitable for applications of different scales and sites, especially for occasions with limited space.

[0018] 2. Improve conversion efficiency: The spiral coil structure has a larger heat exchange area and a more uniform bed temperature distribution, which is conducive to improving conversion efficiency, increasing hydrogen production, and improving energy utilization.

The special structure of the spiral coils enables the fluid to produce a strong turbulent effect when flowing in the tubes, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect, increasing energy utilization efficiency, reducing fuel use, and reducing flue gas volume.

Therefore, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. In addition, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of known functions and structures are omitted.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other.

[0029] like Figure 1 The specific embodiment of the biogas cracking hydrogen production coil reaction device shown in the figure comprises: the input end of the purifier 1 is connected to the biomass biogas output source 2 through a pipeline, the output end of the purifier 1 is connected to the output pipe 3, the output pipe 3 is connected to the output branch pipe 1 4 and the output branch pipe 2 5; the input end of the raw gas preheater 6 is connected to the output branch pipe 1 4, and the output end of the raw gas preheater 6 is connected to the mixed gas heater 7 through a pipeline; the converter 8 is provided with three air inlets on the top and an air outlet on the bottom, the output branch pipe 2 5 is connected to one of the air inlets, and the other two air inlets are respectively connected to the analytical gas output source 9 and the air output source 10, the air output source 10 outputs preheated air, and the converter 8 is provided with a conversion coil 1 inside. 1, the conversion coil 11 is provided with a conversion tube inlet 12 and a conversion tube outlet 13; the output end of the mixed gas heater 7 is connected to the conversion tube inlet 12 through a pipeline; the conversion tube outlet 13 is connected to the mixed gas heater 7 and the raw gas preheater 6 in sequence through a pipeline, and finally the hydrogen-rich conversion gas is discharged through the pipeline; the gas outlet is connected to the steam generator 14, the steam generator 14 is provided with a water vapor output end and a flue gas output end, the water vapor output end is connected to the steam drum 15 through a pipeline, and the flue gas output end discharges the flue gas through the pipeline; the preheated desalted water output source 18 is connected to the steam drum 15 through a pipeline, the steam drum 15 is provided with a steam drum output end, and the steam drum 15 output end is connected to the pipeline between the mixed gas heater 7 and the raw gas preheater 6 through a pipeline.

[0030] Specifically, after the biomass gas is processed by the purifier 1, the methane content in the obtained raw gas is very high. After being heated by the raw gas preheater 6 and the mixed gas heater 7, a cracking and hydrogen production reaction is carried out in the conversion coil 11 in the converter 8 to obtain hydrogen-rich conversion gas, and 99.999% hydrogen is obtained through subsequent separation.

[0031] Specifically, the heat in the conversion process is provided by the purified biomass methane and analytical gas, and the preheated air is burned in the converter 8 to generate high-temperature flue gas. On the one hand, the heat of the generated high-temperature flue gas is used to generate water vapor. After the water vapor passes through the steam drum 15, it is added to the pipeline between the raw material preheater 6 and the mixed gas heater 7. On the other hand, the flue gas is used to preheat the air, so that the flue gas preheating is fully utilized, and the flue gas is discharged through the pipeline.

[0032] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the converter 8 also includes a cover 16 and a converter body 17. The cover 16 fixes the converter coil 11 in the converter 8. The cover 16 plays a role of sealing and airtightness. The middle section of the converter coil 11 is a spiral coil filled with catalyst. The converter body 17 is a circular furnace.

The special structure of the spiral coil enables the fluid to produce a strong turbulent effect when flowing in the tube, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect.

[0036] Specifically, in the reformer 8, the spiral coil is used as a heat exchanger and a reactor. The medium in the spiral coil is heated by the heat generated by the combustion of the fuel, and then a chemical reaction occurs to produce hydrogen. The spiral coil has good heat exchange performance, which can ensure that the low-temperature medium is quickly heated to the reaction temperature after entering the pipeline, thereby starting a chemical reaction.

[0037] Specifically, the conversion coil 11 is made of high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant alloy steel or stainless steel to ensure that it can operate stably in a harsh environment of high temperature and high pressure.

[0038] In other preferred embodiments, there are multiple conversion coils 11 , which are arranged on the cover 16 in a circular array.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the conversion coils 11 are arranged in an equilateral triangle on the cover 16, and multiple conversion coils 11 can be installed inside the conversion furnace 8, which greatly provides reaction space for the reaction, has a compact structure, and occupies a small area.

[0040] In other preferred embodiments, a safety distance is left between the conversion coils 11 , and a safety distance is left between the conversion coils 11 and the outer wall of the conversion furnace 8 .

[0041] Specifically, a safe distance is left between the conversion coils 11 and between the conversion coils 11 and the outer wall of the conversion furnace 8, which effectively prevents the tube wall contact and heat concentration problems that may occur under high temperature, thereby improving the safety of the device.
