Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen production equipment technology, specifically to a novel high-efficiency ammonia decomposition hydrogen production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Ammonia decomposition to produce hydrogen is a chemical reaction in which liquid ammonia is heated to 800-850℃ and decomposed under the action of a nickel-based catalyst to obtain a hydrogen-nitrogen mixture containing 75% H2 and 25% N2. Chinese patent discloses a novel high-efficiency ammonia decomposition hydrogen production and purification device (authorization announcement number CN217202072U). This patent technology discloses a novel high-efficiency ammonia decomposition hydrogen production and purification device, comprising: a decomposition furnace; a preparatory cylinder section disposed at the upper end of the decomposition furnace; a motor disposed at the top of the preparatory cylinder section; and a feeding section disposed at the top of the decomposition furnace. The motor is connected to the decomposition furnace via two fixed rods. The preparatory cylinder section is provided with a covered feed port. A nickel-based catalyst can enter the preparatory cylinder section through the covered feed port. Driving the motor, the preparatory cylinder section can actuate the nickel-based catalyst, allowing it to enter the feeding section. Compared with existing technologies, the preparatory cylinder section serves as a buffer zone for the nickel-based catalyst feeding process. The motor's operation allows the buffered nickel-based catalyst in the preparatory cylinder section to enter the feeding section at appropriate times, ensuring that the decomposition and purification work of the decomposition furnace and the feeding work do not interfere with each other. This shortens the sequential process of hydrogen purification and improves the efficiency of hydrogen production. This patented technology solves the problem that the gas produced by this method is a good protective gas. Currently, the feeding of nickel-based catalysts into the decomposition furnace can only be carried out once. The next feeding can only be carried out after the ammonia has been completely decomposed, which involves a considerable waiting time and affects the efficiency of hydrogen purification.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, the catalyst needs to be isolated from the decomposition furnace before it is added, and it can be automatically discharged into the decomposition furnace when the catalyst is added. The problem of automatically and quantitatively adding the catalyst to the decomposition furnace in the existing technology needs to be solved.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a novel and highly efficient ammonia decomposition hydrogen production device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

This design simplifies the operation and improves ease of use. During the ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production, the feed port two of the inner furnace cylinder and the feed port one of the decomposition furnace are staggered, ensuring a high degree of sealing inside the furnace, which helps maintain a stable reaction environment and improves the efficiency of ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production.

[0032] The quantitative feeding structure 3 includes a storage tank 302, and a quantitative feeding box 303 is connected through the bottom of the storage tank 302. A flipping inner rod 304 is rotatably installed inside the quantitative feeding box 303. One end of the flipping inner rod 304 is sealed and rotatably passes through the outer wall of the quantitative feeding box 303 and is connected to a servo motor 305. Arc grooves for quantitative feeding of catalyst are opened on both the upper and lower surfaces of the flipping inner rod 304.
[0033] The enclosed inner furnace structure 2 includes an inner furnace cylinder 206 rotatably disposed inside the decomposition furnace body 1, and a top sealing plate 201 is fixedly mounted on the top of the inner furnace cylinder 206; a gear ring 202 is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the top sealing plate 201, a gear 203 meshes on one side of the gear ring 202, a servo motor 204 is connected to the bottom of the gear 203, and a fixing plate 205 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the servo motor 204, and the fixing plate 205 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the decomposition furnace body 1.
[0034] The side wall of the decomposition furnace body 1 is provided with a feed hole 10; and the inner furnace cylinder 206 is provided with a feed hole 207 corresponding to the position of the feed hole 10, the feed hole 207 and the feed hole 10 can overlap each other; a pipe 9 is rotatably installed at the center of the top sealing plate 201, and a vertical shaft plate 8 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the pipe 9, the vertical shaft plate 8 is fixedly assembled on the outer wall of the decomposition furnace body 1;
[0035] The bottom of the decomposition furnace body 1 is detachably equipped with a furnace bottom sealing plate 5, and a pipe 6 is connected through the center of the furnace bottom sealing plate 5; the top of the storage hopper 302 is hingedly installed with a hopper top cover 307.

[0037] According to the above embodiments, the working principle of this invention is as follows:
[0038] When the decomposition furnace body 1 is operating normally at high temperature, the feed hole 207 of the inner furnace cylinder 206 and the feed hole 10 of the decomposition furnace body 1 are intersected, so that the decomposition furnace body 1 and the inner furnace cylinder 206 are sealed to each other, improving the sealing of the interior of the decomposition furnace body 1.

[0040] When the feed hole 10 and feed hole 207 are aligned, the servo motor 204 is started. After the servo motor 204 is started, it drives the gear 203 to rotate. The gear 203 rotates and meshes with the gear ring 202. The gear ring 202 drives the top sealing plate 201, which in turn causes the inner furnace cylinder 206 to rotate inside the decomposition furnace body 1, so that the feed hole 207 and feed hole 10 are aligned with each other, which facilitates the automatic quantitative discharge of catalyst into the decomposition furnace body 1 for feeding.
