Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hydrogen purification technology, and in particular relates to a purification device for hydrogen preparation. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water, the output hydrogen often contains moisture and a small amount of acidic gases, so the produced hydrogen needs to be purified. In this process, the hydrogen is usually purified by passing it through a filter screen, a water-absorbing sponge, and activated carbon in sequence.

[0003] However, during the processing, alkaline solutions are used to remove acidic gases, which can further increase the water content in the hydrogen. Therefore, this invention proposes a purification device for hydrogen production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a purification device for hydrogen production, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This invention is achieved as follows: a purification device for hydrogen production, comprising a filtration assembly and a heating assembly;

[0006] The filtration assembly includes a filter box, inside which are a first filter plate and a second filter plate. The first filter plate is filled with alkaline powder, and the second filter plate is filled with anhydrous calcium chloride.

[0007] The heating assembly includes a heating tube, a heating plate on the inner wall of the heating tube, multiple drip holes at the bottom of the heating tube and the heating plate, and a liquid collection tank on the bottom surface of the heating tube, with the drip holes connected to the liquid collection tank.

[0008] Preferably, there are multiple first filter plates, which are distributed at intervals and are located near the left side of the filter box.

[0009] Preferably, there are multiple second filter plates, which are distributed at intervals and are located near the right side of the filter box.

[0010] Preferably, an air inlet pipe is provided on the left side of the filter box.

[0011] Preferably, the liquid collection tank is equipped with a liquid collection valve at the bottom.

[0012] Preferably, the alkaline powder is sodium hydroxide powder.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] Once the hydrogen is prepared, it enters the filter box through the inlet pipe on the left side. The hydrogen first passes through the first filter plate located inside the filter box on the left side. Since the first filter plate is filled with sodium hydroxide powder, the acidic gas inside the hydrogen is absorbed and neutralized by the sodium hydroxide. Because there are multiple first filter plates, the hydrogen passes through multiple first filter plates in sequence, and the acidic gas is absorbed and neutralized multiple times, achieving the purpose of removing the acidic gas. Then the hydrogen passes through multiple second filter plates in sequence. Since the second filter plates are filled with anhydrous calcium chloride, some of the moisture inside the hydrogen is absorbed by the anhydrous calcium chloride. Then the hydrogen enters the heating tube, and the heating plate is activated to heat the hydrogen. The remaining moisture is heated and condensed, falling into the drip hole, and then falling into the liquid collection tank. Because hydrogen is light, it generally does not fall into the liquid collection tank. Then the dry hydrogen flows out from the heating tube to enter the next process. When the liquid collection tank is full of water, the liquid collection valve is opened to collect and recover the water. Attached Figure Description

The hydrogen first passes through the first filter plate 13 located inside the filter box 11 on the left side. Since the first filter plate 13 is filled with sodium hydroxide powder, the acidic gas inside the hydrogen will be absorbed and neutralized by the sodium hydroxide. Since there are multiple first filter plates 13, the hydrogen passes through multiple first filter plates 13 in sequence, and the acidic gas is absorbed and neutralized multiple times, achieving the purpose of removing the acidic gas.

Then the hydrogen gas will enter the heating tube 21, and the heating plate 22 will be activated to heat the hydrogen gas. The remaining moisture will be heated and condensed, falling into the drip hole 23, and then falling into the liquid collection tank 24. Since the hydrogen gas is relatively light, it generally will not fall into the liquid collection tank 24. Then the dry hydrogen gas will flow out from the heating tube 21 to enter the next process. When the liquid collection tank 24 is full of water, the liquid collection valve 25 is opened to collect and recover the water.

[0028] For further information, see Figure 2 Multiple first filter plates 13 are provided, and the multiple first filter plates 13 are distributed at intervals. The first filter plates 13 are close to the left side of the filter box 11.

The hydrogen first passes through the first filter plate 13 located inside the filter box 11 on the left side. Since the first filter plate 13 is filled with sodium hydroxide powder, the acidic gas inside the hydrogen will be absorbed and neutralized by the sodium hydroxide. Since there are multiple first filter plates 13, the hydrogen passes through multiple first filter plates 13 in sequence, and the acidic gas is absorbed and neutralized multiple times, thus achieving the purpose of removing the acidic gas.

[0031] In this embodiment, the hydrogen gas neutralized by the acid gas will pass through multiple second filter plates 14 in sequence. Since the second filter plates 14 are filled with anhydrous calcium chloride, some of the moisture inside the hydrogen gas will be absorbed by the anhydrous calcium chloride.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: After hydrogen is prepared, it enters the filter box 11 through the inlet pipe 12 on the left side of the filter box 11. The hydrogen first passes through the first filter plate 13 located inside the filter box 11 on the left side. Since the first filter plate 13 is filled with sodium hydroxide powder, the acidic gas inside the hydrogen will be absorbed and neutralized by the sodium hydroxide. Since there are multiple first filter plates 13, the hydrogen passes through multiple first filter plates 13 in sequence, and the acidic gas is absorbed and neutralized multiple times, thus achieving the purpose of removing the acidic gas. Then the hydrogen will pass through... The hydrogen passes through multiple second filter plates 14. Since the second filter plates 14 are filled with anhydrous calcium chloride, some of the moisture inside the hydrogen is absorbed by the anhydrous calcium chloride. Then the hydrogen enters the heating tube 21, and the heating plate 22 is activated to heat the hydrogen. The remaining moisture is heated and condensed, falling into the drip hole 23, and then falling from the drip hole 23 into the liquid collection tank 24. Since the hydrogen is relatively light, it generally does not fall into the liquid collection tank 24. Then the dry hydrogen flows out from the heating tube 21 to enter the next process. When the liquid collection tank 24 is full of water, the liquid collection valve 25 is opened to collect and recover the water.
