Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hydrogen purification, and specifically relates to a hydrogen purification device. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen is a chemical element that ranks first in the periodic table. Its usual single element form is hydrogen gas, which is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, highly flammable gas composed of diatomic molecules. Hydrogen gas is the lightest gas.

[0003] Currently, most solid hydrogen storage materials and water are used to directly generate hydrogen. Due to the exothermic reaction, high-temperature water vapor is usually generated during the hydrogen generation process, so that the hydrogen contains impurities such as water vapor. These impurities will affect the purity of the hydrogen and require dehumidification, purification and other treatments. During the dehumidification process, the condensed water needs to be discharged. However, when draining water, water and hydrogen are usually discharged at the same time, reducing the efficiency of obtaining hydrogen.

[0004] The existing patent (application number: CN202320796319.4) proposes a hydrogen dehumidification and purification device, in which an arc-shaped partition is fixedly connected to the box body, and the arc-shaped partition divides the box body into a condensation chamber and a water collecting chamber. The condensation chamber is arranged above the water collecting chamber, and the top surface of the arc-shaped partition and the bottom of the water collecting chamber are both installed with drainage components; hydrogen and water vapor are spirally risen along the spiral plate, so that the hydrogen and water vapor are cooled in all directions, and the water is discharged through the drainage component, which effectively improves the efficiency of obtaining hydrogen.

[0005] The utilization efficiency of the hydrogen separation membrane used in the hydrogen purification device is low, which means that when the filtering effect of the hydrogen separation membrane drops to a certain level, the user usually needs to replace the hydrogen separation membrane as a whole. Although this can ensure the filtering effect of the hydrogen purification device, it also brings about a significant waste of resources.

[0006] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, a conical sleeve and a mesh plate are fixedly installed inside the exhaust pipe, a support spring is fixedly installed on one side of the mesh plate, and a blocking ball is fixedly connected to one end of the support spring away from the mesh plate.

[0030] In the utility model, hydrogen enters the upper chamber inside the purification cylinder 1 from the air inlet 2, the hydrogen in the upper chamber is discharged through the air outlet 10, and returns to the lower chamber after passing through the hydrogen separation membrane 11 twice. Therefore, the upper and lower parts of the hydrogen separation membrane 11 repeatedly filter the hydrogen twice, giving full play to the efficacy of the hydrogen separation membrane 11, and achieving good purification effect. Finally, the purified hydrogen is discharged from the exhaust port 19.

[0031] Furthermore, as a specific implementation of the present invention, the present invention provides a hydrogen purification device.
