Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of methanol hydrogen production, in particular to a blade-type catalyst heating device for methanol reforming hydrogen production. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization and development of new energy technologies, the development of hydrogen fuel cells has become more and more perfect, and the related methanol hydrogen production technology has also become more mature. Methanol hydrogen production is a process of converting methanol and water into hydrogen. This method has cost and environmental advantages compared to other hydrogen production raw materials. Methanol is a liquid fuel that is easy to store and transport. It can be safely stored and transported to remote areas at room temperature and pressure, and its cost is usually lower than the cost of compressed hydrogen. In the process of methanol hydrogen production, a mixture of methanol and water reacts under the action of a catalyst to produce hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other by-products. And because of the availability and low cost of methanol, this method of hydrogen production is more economically competitive.

[0003] In the methanol hydrogen production process, high-temperature reforming of methanol is the most critical step in the entire hydrogen production process. This step requires a stable high-temperature environment to allow methanol to stably react with the catalyst to generate hydrogen-rich gas. In the relevant technology, in order to create a high-temperature hydrogen production environment, the heating of the reforming chamber in the methanol hydrogen production equipment adopts combustion heating and electric heating. In the combustion heating method, the heat source is relatively concentrated, and it is impossible to achieve uniform heating of all parts of the reforming chamber; at the same time, there is a situation where the fire source is extinguished during the hydrogen production process, which further leads to uneven heating and affects the purity of hydrogen production; in addition, the combustion equipment is generally integrated with the reforming equipment, the equipment has a high degree of integration and a low degree of modularization, which makes the methanol hydrogen production equipment inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, and difficult to maintain. In the general electric heating method, the equipment is small in size and only concentrates on heating a single catalyst carrier, which limits its hydrogen production to a small amount and cannot produce a large amount of hydrogen.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new blade-type catalyst heating device for methanol reforming hydrogen production to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a blade-type catalyst heating device for methanol reforming hydrogen production, which has the advantages of uniform heating of the reforming chamber and convenient hydrogen production.

[0013] Compared with the related art, the blade-type catalyst heating device for methanol reforming hydrogen production provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The utility model provides a blade-type catalyst heating device for methanol reforming hydrogen production. During the production process, the methanol solution flows to the surface of the evaporation plate, and the single-sided mica heating plate heats the evaporation plate and the solution, so that the solution evaporates and enters the interior of the reforming chamber through the support net.

A blade-type catalyst heating device for hydrogen production by reforming methanol comprises: a fixed box 1, a double-sided mica heating plate 2 for heating a reforming chamber 7 on both sides is installed inside the fixed box 1, the reforming chamber 7 is located between two double-sided mica heating plates 2, a blade-shaped catalyst 8 is installed inside the reforming chamber 7, adjacent reforming chambers 7 are connected in series through a connecting pipe 15, an air outlet pipe 9 is installed at the top of the reforming chamber 7 located on one side of the fixed box 1; a single-sided mica heating plate 3 is installed at the bottom end of the fixed box 1, an evaporation plate 4 for heating the solution is installed on the top surface of the single-sided mica heating plate 3; a partition 5 is installed inside the fixed box 1, a support net 6 is installed on the surface of the partition 5, and the support net 6 is aligned with the reforming chamber 7 located on the other side of the fixed box 1. During the production process, the methanol solution flows to the surface of the evaporation plate 4, and the single-sided mica heating plate 3 heats the evaporation plate 4 and the solution, so that the solution evaporates and enters the interior of the reforming chamber 7 through the support net 6. At this time, the double-sided mica heating plate 2 heats the reforming chamber 7. The reforming chamber 7 is located between two double-sided mica heating plates 2. The double-sided mica heating plate 2 heats both sides of the reforming chamber 7 at the same time, so that the interior of the reforming chamber 7 is heated evenly and the hydrogen production efficiency is accelerated; the adjacent reforming chambers 7 are connected in series through connecting pipes, so that the gas flows in multiple reforming chambers 7 in turn, increasing the distance the gas flows in the reforming chamber 7, increasing the reaction time, and improving the hydrogen production efficiency.

[0022] The side wall of the fixed box 1 is installed with a preheating box 11, and the top of the preheating box 11 is installed with a liquid inlet pipe 10. The bottom of the preheating box 11 is installed with a connecting pipe 12, and the connecting pipe 12 is connected to the interior of the fixed box 1; the connecting pipe 12 is located between the evaporation plate 4 and the partition 5, and the methanol solution enters the interior of the preheating box 11 through the liquid inlet pipe 10, and the heat emitted by the double-sided mica heating plate 2 is emitted through the fixed box 1 and enters the interior of the preheating box 11, so that the solution inside the preheating box 11 is heated to facilitate the evaporation of the solution; the solution inside the preheating box 11 enters the surface of the evaporation plate 4 through the connecting pipe 12, and the evaporation plate 4 is installed at the bottom of the fixed box 1, and the surface of the evaporation plate 4 is a wavy structure, in order to increase the contact area between the solution and the evaporation plate 4 and accelerate the evaporation efficiency of the solution.

[0023] The side wall of the fixed box 1 is provided with an observation window 14. In order to facilitate the liquid level of the solution on the surface of the evaporation plate 4, a valve is installed on the side wall of the connecting pipe 12. The flow rate of the solution on the surface of the evaporation plate 4 entering the connecting pipe 12 is controlled by adjusting the valve to avoid excessive solution remaining on the surface of the evaporation plate 4, so that the unevaporated solution passes through the supporting net 6 and enters the interior of the reforming chamber 7.

Methanol and water are configured into a solution according to a certain water-to-alcohol ratio, and enter the interior of the preheating box 11 through the liquid inlet pipe 10. The heat emitted by the double-sided mica heating plate 2 is emitted through the fixed box 1 and enters the interior of the preheating box 11, so that the solution inside the preheating box 11 is heated to facilitate the evaporation of the solution; the solution tube in the preheating box 11 enters the surface of the evaporation plate 4 through the connecting pipe 12, and the surface of the evaporation plate 4 is in a wavy structure, which increases the contact area between the solution and the evaporation plate 4 and accelerates the evaporation efficiency of the solution. After evaporation, the solution enters the interior of the reforming chamber 7 through the support net 6, and is catalyzed by the blade-shaped catalyst 8 inside the reforming chamber 7 to generate hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other hydrogen-rich gases. The adjacent reforming chambers 7 are connected in series through connecting pipes, so that the gas flows in the interior of the multiple reforming chambers 7 in turn, increasing the distance the gas flows inside the reforming chamber 7, increasing the reaction time, and improving the hydrogen production efficiency. The generated gas is discharged through the outlet pipe 9 for collection and cooling.
