As a new type of energy supply method, the household integrated energy supply system can not only improve energy utilization efficiency, but also effectively reduce household energy consumption costs, while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with significant economic and environmental benefits.
[0003] At present, the household integrated energy supply system mainly uses high-pressure hydrogen as raw material to provide electricity and heat through fuel cells. Although it has the advantage of zero carbon, it has major safety risks due to high-pressure hydrogen. In addition, there is also the use of natural gas as raw material to produce hydrogen through steam catalysis. Although this technical route solves the safety risks of hydrogen storage, it has the problem of CO2 emissions. Utility Model Content

The adsorption natural gas storage tank contains a methane adsorbent, and the high-purity methane gas in the adsorption natural gas storage tank is released, first preheated by the regenerator, and then heated to 600°C by the electric heater before entering the methane cracking furnace. The high-temperature methane gas is cracked into carbon atoms and hydrogen molecules under the action of the cracking catalyst, and the carbon atoms are deposited and grown on the surface of the catalyst to form carbon nanotubes. The cracked hydrogen and methane gas pass through the regenerator to transfer the residual heat to the methane gas, and then enter the pressure swing adsorption hydrogen extraction tower to separate the hydrogen and methane gas. The separated methane gas is transported to the regenerator for heat recovery and then enters the methane cracking furnace again. After purification, part of the hydrogen enters the fuel cell, which generates electricity and heat. The heat is converted into hot water output, and the excess electricity is sent to the energy storage battery for storage. The other part enters the stove and is used as fuel. The green electricity generated by the solar photovoltaic panel is sent to the electric heater to heat the methane gas, and the excess electricity is sent to the energy storage battery for storage.
[0006] Furthermore, the decomposition furnace adopts a vertical structure, and the cracking catalyst is a micron-sized powdered iron-nickel catalyst.
[0007] Furthermore, the fuel cell uses high-purity hydrogen as fuel to generate electricity and heat, and the heat is used to produce high-temperature hot water.
[0008] Furthermore, the adsorption-type natural gas storage tank stores methane gas through the adsorption of the methane adsorbent in the tank. The adsorption pressure of the tank is 5.0 MPa, and the standard methane reserves are 150 times the water volume of the tank.
[0009] Furthermore, after the catalytic cracking reaction in the methane cracking furnace is completed, it is replaced by nitrogen, and the replaced waste gas is discharged into the atmosphere. After the replacement is qualified, the catalyst and carbon nanotubes are discharged as a whole through the discharge port. The new cracking catalyst is loaded into the methane cracking furnace through the filling port, and the air inside is replaced by nitrogen.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0011] Adsorbed natural gas is used as raw material, and high-purity hydrogen required by fuel cells is obtained through high-temperature cracking of methane and pressure swing adsorption hydrogen extraction.
