Description

[0003] At present, in the process of hydrogen production by aluminum-water reaction, a dynamic control strategy is usually adopted to regulate the reaction rate, that is, the fine adjustment of the hydrogen generation rate is achieved by precisely controlling the addition amount of reactants; this method helps to maintain the reaction in a relatively stable and controllable state, ensuring the continuous supply of hydrogen and improving the reaction efficiency; however, once the reactants are put into a closed reaction vessel, due to the spontaneity and exothermic nature of the reaction, it is difficult to immediately terminate once started; this means that even when it is necessary to stop hydrogen production, the aluminum and water mixture that has participated in the reaction will continue to react until all reactants are exhausted or the temperature of the reaction system is low enough to significantly slow down the reaction rate; this non-instantaneous stop reaction state may lead to the production of more hydrogen than expected, thus increasing the equipment overpressure and potential safety risks. Therefore, this application provides a unit with adjustable aluminum hydrolysis hydrogen production rate and its integrated framework. Summary of the Utility Model
