Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen production equipment, in particular to a desulfurization tank used for hydrogen production. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen is a highly flammable, colorless, transparent, odorless and tasteless gas. Hydrogen is the smallest known gas in the world. Its density is only 1 / 14 of that of air, that is, at 0°C and a standard atmospheric pressure, its density is 0.0899 g / L. Therefore, hydrogen can be used as a filling gas for airships and hydrogen balloons (due to its flammability and low safety, airships are now mostly filled with helium). Hydrogen is the substance with the smallest relative molecular mass and is mainly used as a reducing agent.

[0003] When hydrogen is produced, it needs to be desulfurized in a desulfurization tank. The desulfurization efficiency of traditional desulfurization tanks is relatively low, and it is easy to have problems with impure desulfurization.

[0004] In the prior art, the Chinese utility model with publication number: CN209442637U discloses a desulfurization tank for hydrogen production, including a desulfurization tank body, an air inlet pipe inserted in the desulfurization tank body, and a desulfurization cavity in the desulfurization tank body, an air inlet cavity in the desulfurization cavity, and an air inlet hole in communication with the desulfurization cavity in the air inlet cavity, the end of the air inlet pipe is in communication with the air inlet cavity, the second air outlet pipe is provided with an air hole, and a supporting partition is provided on the lower side of the second air outlet pipe, and a sewage pipe is provided at the bottom of the desulfurization tank body. The desulfurization tank for hydrogen production is provided with an independent desulfurization cavity in the desulfurization tank, and the air inlet pipe injects the hydrogen to be desulfurized into the air inlet cavity respectively, the induced draft fan accelerates the air intake efficiency, the through hole in the air inlet cavity allows the hydrogen to enter the desulfurization cavity evenly, and the second air outlet pipe can input the desulfurized hydrogen into the desulfurization cavity again for impact stirring to improve the hydrogen desulfurization efficiency;

[0005] Although the above technical solution improves the desulfurization effect of hydrogen, after a period of desulfurization, the desulfurization effect of the desulfurizer will gradually decrease due to the gradual increase of sulfur adsorbed on the desulfurizer. The replacement of the desulfurizer is relatively complicated. When replacing the desulfurizer, the hydrogen supply needs to be stopped, and the desulfurization effect of hydrogen needs to be further improved. Therefore, we need to propose a desulfurization tank for hydrogen production. Utility Model Content
