Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hydrogen production and drying technology, and in particular relates to a dryer for hydrogen production by water electrolysis. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolysis of water is an important method for hydrogen production, applicable to metal smelting, coal chemical industry, petroleum refining, wind and solar power generation and storage, fuel cells, and other fields. This process does not produce greenhouse gases and is considered a crucial method for hydrogen production. However, the hydrogen produced by water electrolysis generally contains small amounts of water vapor and electrolyte, requiring drying to remove these components and obtain high-purity hydrogen. Existing drying equipment directly discharges the water after hydrogen drying without collecting it for reuse, resulting in water waste. Therefore, this invention proposes a dryer for hydrogen production via water electrolysis to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a dryer for hydrogen production through water electrolysis, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] This invention is achieved as follows: a dryer for producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water, including a drying chamber;

[0005] The bottom of the drying chamber is equipped with a collection box;

[0006] The drying chamber has a heating plate on the top surface of its inner wall and a first guide plate and a second guide plate on its inner wall. Both the first guide plate and the second guide plate are inclined. The first guide plate guides water flow to the second guide plate, and the second guide plate guides water flow to the collection box. The first guide plate divides the drying chamber into a drying chamber and a filtration chamber.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the drying chamber is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, with the air inlet located above the air outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the drying chamber is located above the filtering chamber, and the heating plate is located inside the drying chamber.

[0009] Preferably, the filter chamber is provided with a filter plate near the air outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the filter plate is filled with activated carbon.

[0011] Preferably, a water outlet valve is installed at the bottom of the collection box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] When the prepared hydrogen needs to be dried, the heating plate is activated first, and then the moistened hydrogen enters the drying chamber through the inlet. Under the heating action of the heating plate, the moisture in the hydrogen evaporates, and the evaporated moisture condenses into water droplets that fall into the first guide plate. Then, it flows with the first guide plate to the second guide plate, and finally flows into the collection box through the second guide plate. The dried hydrogen enters the filtration chamber through the gap between the first and second guide plates. In the filtration chamber, there is a filter plate near the outlet. The hydrogen passes through the filter plate and exits from the outlet to enter the next process. The filter plate is filled with activated carbon, which can filter impurities and further adsorb moisture from the hydrogen, thereby improving the purity of the hydrogen exiting from the outlet. After drying, the water outlet valve can be opened to recycle the water in the collection box for reuse, saving water resources. Attached Figure Description
