Problems solved by technology

The device does not have the function of automatically starting when the power is cut off, and it cannot start automatically when the monitored power supply is cut off; the sodium hydroxide solution needs to be used and prepared immediately, and it may be destroyed by CO in the air. 2 polluted
[0006] In 2003, the U.S. Patent (US Pat No. 6,638,493B2) disclosed a method for producing hydrogen, disclosing the catalysis of sodium hydroxide under certain conditions, but this method cannot realize the function of automatic opening, and the operation is cumbersome. And the purity of hydrogen is not high

Embodiment 1

[0044] Add 368g of aluminum powder into the aluminum powder container, adjust the opening of the first flow control valve 4 to control the flow of aluminum powder to about 6.2g / min, and the opening of the second flow control valve 6 to make the flow of water about 12.3ml / min min, adjust the opening degree of the third flow control valve 12 so that the flow rate of hydrogen is about 7.6 L / min. When the monitored power system is powered off, the first solenoid valve 3, the second solenoid valve 5 and the third solenoid valve 11 are automatically opened due to the monitored power interruption, and aluminum powder and water enter the reactor to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen flows to the negative electrode of the fuel cell through the third solenoid valve 11 and the third flow control valve 12, and can supply hydrogen for a 500W fuel cell for about 1 hour.

Embodiment 2

[0046] Add 740g of aluminum powder into the aluminum powder container, adjust the opening of the first flow control valve 4 to control the flow of aluminum powder to about 12.3g / min, adjust the opening of the second flow control valve 6 to make the flow of water about 24.5ml / min, adjust the opening of the third flow control valve 12 so that the flow of hydrogen is about 15.2L / min. When the monitored power system is powered off, the first solenoid valve 3, the second solenoid valve 5 and the third solenoid valve 11 are automatically opened due to the monitored power interruption, and aluminum powder and water enter the reactor to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen flows to the negative electrode of the fuel cell through the third solenoid valve 11 and the third flow control valve 12, and can supply hydrogen for a 1000W fuel cell for about 1 hour.

Embodiment 3

[0048] Add 1.1kg of aluminum powder into the aluminum powder container, adjust the opening of the first flow control valve 4 to control the flow of aluminum powder to about 18.3g / min, adjust the opening of the second flow control valve 6 to make the water flow about 36.6ml / min, adjust the opening of the third flow control valve 12 to make the flow of hydrogen about 22.8L / min. When the monitored power system is powered off, the first solenoid valve 3, the second solenoid valve 5 and the third solenoid valve 11 are automatically opened due to the monitored power interruption, and aluminum powder and water enter the reactor to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen flows to the negative electrode of the fuel cell through the third solenoid valve 11 and the third flow control valve 12, and can supply hydrogen for a 1500W fuel cell for about 1 hour.

Abstract

The invention discloses a fast hydrogen making device capable of automatically starting in a power-down condition. An aluminum powder container is communicated with a reactor through a first electromagnetic valve and a first flow control valve sequentially to ensure that aluminum powder in the aluminum powder container enters in the reactor; the grain diameter of the aluminum powder granules is 5 nm-20 mm; the reactor is a sealed container with sodium hydroxide solid filled in the lower end; a water pipe is sequentially connected with a second electromagnetic valve, a second flow control valve and a nozzle, wherein the nozzle is arranged at the upper end of the reactor to enable water to be sprayed into the reactor; the upper end of the reactor is provided with an aluminum powder filtering screen which is connected with a third electromagnetic valve through a pipeline; the third electromagnetic valve is connected with a third flow control valve; and the third flow control valve is connected with the cathode of a fuel battery generating system. The invention has the advantages of easily obtained and cheap raw materials, easily controlled reaction speed, simple structure, environmental-friendly and pollution-free product, safe and portable use and transportation, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to hydrogen production, in particular to a device for automatically starting rapid hydrogen production when the power is cut off, in particular to a device for producing hydrogen by reacting metal aluminum powder with water in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Background technique [0002] As an important chemical substance, hydrogen is widely used in chemical industry, petrochemical industry, food and metallurgical industry. Hydrogen energy is a promising energy carrier. The rapid development of the hydrogen economy has stimulated the research of hydrogen storage materials, but the cost of hydrogen storage is very high, and there are various safety problems, so the development of small, cheap, controllable, instant production, safe and reliable , There is a very urgent need for hydrogen production technology that can match with fuel cells. [0003] At present, the sources of hydrogen can be roughly divided into the following cat...
