DEHYDROGENATION REACTION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874631 titled 'DEHYDROGENATION REACTION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a dehydrogenation reaction apparatus that includes a dehydrogenation reactor and a buffer tank.

• The dehydrogenation reactor has a reaction vessel that stores a chemical hydride and partition walls that divide the inner space of the vessel into multiple reaction chambers.
• The buffer tank is used to temporarily store the hydrogen generated in the dehydrogenation reactor and then supply it to a fuel cell.

Potential applications of this technology:

• This dehydrogenation reaction apparatus can be used in hydrogen fuel cell systems.
• It can be utilized in portable power devices, such as laptops or smartphones, that require a compact and efficient hydrogen storage and supply system.
• It can also be applied in larger-scale applications, such as power plants or vehicles, where hydrogen is used as a clean energy source.

Problems solved by this technology:

• The dehydrogenation reactor with partition walls allows for the efficient storage and release of hydrogen from the chemical hydride.
• The buffer tank ensures a steady supply of hydrogen to the fuel cell, preventing any interruptions in power generation.

Benefits of this technology:

• The dehydrogenation reaction apparatus provides a compact and efficient solution for hydrogen storage and supply.
• It enables the use of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source in various applications.
• The partition walls in the reactor and the buffer tank ensure a continuous and reliable supply of hydrogen to the fuel cell, enhancing the overall performance and efficiency of the system.
