Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen energy utilization, in particular to a hydrogen energy burner. Background Art
[0002] There are two main types of gas stoves commonly found on the market: those that use coal gas as fuel, and those that use natural gas as their primary fuel. To ensure efficient and safe operation, both types of stoves require a proper mixture of gas and air before combustion. This requires an open stove frame and dedicated openings in the connection between the stove core and the burner to introduce the appropriate amount of air, ensuring adequate combustion, thereby improving thermal efficiency and reducing harmful gas emissions.
[0003] However, with the development of clean energy, hydrogen is gaining more and more attention as an efficient and clean energy source. A notable feature of hydrogen combustion is that it can achieve efficient combustion without the need for additional mixing with air, which is different from traditional fuel gases (such as natural gas or coal gas). Although this feature simplifies the combustion process, it also brings some new challenges. For example, hydrogen embrittlement may occur during hydrogen combustion, that is, the embrittlement of materials after long-term exposure to a hydrogen environment, affecting the safety and service life of the equipment; hydrogen combustion is prone to thermal acoustic oscillations, which not only affects the user experience, but may also cause damage to the equipment; in addition, the flashback problem is also one of the common safety hazards in hydrogen combustion.
[0004] Therefore, considering the characteristics of hydrogen combustion and its potential risks, existing natural gas or coal gas stoves can adapt to mixed fuels containing 20% hydrogen, but cannot meet the combustion of pure hydrogen. Utility Model Content

[0032] In order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described.
[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydrogen fuel burner, comprising a housing 10, a furnace frame 20, a furnace core 30, a burner head 41, and an igniter 50. The housing 10 is provided with a closed furnace frame 20; the furnace core 30 is disposed within the housing 10 and is provided with a hydrogen inlet 31 and a plurality of hydrogen outlets 32. The plurality of hydrogen outlets 32 are respectively connected to the hydrogen inlet 31, and the hydrogen inlet 31 is connected to an external hydrogen supply device; the plurality of burners 41 are connected to the plurality of hydrogen outlets 32 in a one-to-one correspondence, the burners 41 being exposed from the furnace frame 20, and the upper end of the burner head 41 is provided with a plurality of gas holes 411a, which are connected to the hydrogen outlets 32; the igniter 50 is disposed on the furnace core 30, with its upper end exposed from the furnace frame 20.
[0034] The hydrogen burner provided in this embodiment adopts a closed furnace frame, which can prevent hydrogen from escaping and mixing with air, thereby achieving pure hydrogen combustion.
[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the grate 20 adopts a closed structural design, which is different from the traditional open grate with a hollow design. In this embodiment, the grate 20 is provided with a central cover 21. The central cover 21 is provided with a first through hole 211 for exposing the burner 41 and a second through hole 212 for exposing the igniter 50. The first through hole 211 and the second through hole 212 are respectively provided at positions corresponding to the positions of the burner 41 and the igniter 50.
[0036] Furthermore, since the furnace rack 20 is closed, in order to ensure that only the furnace head 41 with the gas hole 411a is exposed from the center cover 21, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the burner head 41 needs to be connected to the furnace core 30 through a connecting device 42 so that the gas hole 411a of the burner head 41 is connected to the hydrogen output hole 32. The connecting device 42 adopts a closed tube body design to avoid mixing of air; at the same time, the aperture of the first through hole 211 is designed to be slightly larger than the upper end outer diameter of the connecting device 42 and smaller than the lower end outer diameter of the burner head 41, so as to ensure that the upper end of the connecting device 42 can expose the center cover 21, and the burner head 41 can cover the first through hole 211 after installation, so as to achieve the closed effect of the furnace frame 20.
[0037] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation and connection between the connecting device 42 and the furnace head 41 and the furnace core 30, external threads can be provided at both ends of the connecting device 42, and internal threads matching the external threads can be provided in the hydrogen output hole 32 and the furnace head 41, so that the furnace core 30, the connecting device 42 and the furnace head 41 can be quickly and conveniently assembled through threaded connection.
[0038] Furthermore, to ensure that the hydrogen burner is less susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement and maintains its safety and durability, key components are manufactured from hydrogen-embrittlement-resistant materials. Specifically, the furnace core 30, burner head 41, and connecting device 42 are key components that come into direct contact with hydrogen and are preferably made from hydrogen-embrittlement-resistant materials such as pure copper, aluminum alloy, or austenitic stainless steel. The materials of the furnace core 30, burner head 41, and connecting device 42 can be the same or different.
[0039] Furthermore, since hydrogen combustion is prone to backfire, a backflow preventer can be installed between the hydrogen inlet 31 and the external hydrogen supply device. This backflow preventer is a mature product on the market, and its structure is not described here in detail. The hydrogen supply device can be a hydrogen storage device (such as a solid-state hydrogen storage bottle, a high-pressure hydrogen storage bottle) or a hydrogen production and storage energy device.
[0040] Please review Figure 5In order to ensure effective ignition of the hydrogen burner, it is necessary to design the arrangement of the burner 41 and the igniter 50. Specifically, the multiple burners 41 are arranged in a circular array with one burner 41 as the center, and the igniter 50 is arranged close to the burner 41 at the center.
[0041] Furthermore, a trapezoidal step 411 is provided at the upper end of the burner head 41. Several gas holes 411a are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the upper end surface and side walls of the trapezoidal step 411. The gas holes 411a are oriented perpendicular to the upper end surface or side walls of the trapezoidal step 411. The design of the trapezoidal step 411 allows for a staggered gas hole layout, ensuring a sufficient number of gas holes while maintaining reasonable spacing between each gas hole. This avoids flame interference caused by overly dense gas holes and achieves a more uniform hydrogen distribution. This layout allows hydrogen to form multi-layered, multi-angle injection paths, significantly improving the uniformity of hydrogen within the space and, in turn, enhancing hydrogen combustion efficiency and stability. Furthermore, the different levels of gas hole layout promote uniform flame diffusion throughout the combustion area, reducing the formation of localized high-temperature zones and helping to reduce thermoacoustic oscillations.
[0042] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the side of the housing 10 is provided with an igniter 11 connected to the igniter 50, and the igniter 11 adopts a downward pressure ignition method. Figure 1 As shown, the igniter 11 can be arranged on the opposite side of the hydrogen input hole 31. In other embodiments, the igniter 11 can also be arranged on the same side of the hydrogen input hole 31.
[0043] Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and possesses high industrial value. The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
