Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If electrolysis device is used to generate hydrogen gas, then hydrogen gas can be produced, but high temperature water vapor or electrolyte in the gas pathway breeds bacteria
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by introducing ozone into the gas pathway before hydrogen gas production to pre-clean the pathway. The ozone is generated and introduced into the gas pathway in advance to eliminate potential bacterial contamination, ensuring the pathway is clean before hydrogen gas flows through it.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses ozone, a strong oxidant, to clean the gas pathway. Ozone oxidizes and eliminates bacteria and organic matter in the gas pathway, preventing bacterial growth. The ozone generation unit continuously produces ozone that is introduced into the gas pathway to maintain a sterile environment.
2Quantity of substance
If electrolyzed water is used for hydrogen generation, then hydrogen gas is produced, but the gas contains impurities such as high temperature water vapor and electrolyte
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the extraction principle by removing impurities from the hydrogen gas. A condensation unit is used to separate and remove water vapor from the gas mixture, and a filtration unit removes electrolyte particles and other impurities, extracting only the pure hydrogen gas for delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes physical parameters to separate impurities from hydrogen gas. The condensation unit lowers temperature to condense water vapor into liquid form for removal, while the filtration unit uses physical barriers to trap particles. These parameter changes enable effective impurity removal while maintaining hydrogen gas production.
