HYDROGEN REFORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17844945 titled 'HYDROGEN REFORMING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a hydrogen reforming system that combines the functions of a reforming part and a metal hydride compressor to improve energy efficiency. The system extracts hydrogen from a source gas and uses waste heat from the reforming part to operate the metal hydride compressor, which compresses the hydrogen.
- The system includes a reforming part and a metal hydride compressor.
- The reforming part extracts hydrogen from a source gas.
- The metal hydride compressor is operated by waste heat from the reforming part.
- The metal hydride compressor compresses the hydrogen discharged from the reforming part.
- The system improves energy efficiency by combining the functions of two machines.
Potential Applications
- Hydrogen production from various sources.
- Energy-efficient hydrogen compression for storage or transportation.
- Integration with renewable energy systems for sustainable hydrogen production.
Problems Solved
- Energy efficiency: The system combines the functions of a reforming part and a metal hydride compressor, reducing energy consumption.
- Waste heat utilization: The waste heat from the reforming part is used to operate the metal hydride compressor, maximizing energy utilization.
Benefits
- Improved energy efficiency: By combining the functions of two machines, the system reduces energy consumption and improves overall efficiency.
- Waste heat utilization: The system utilizes waste heat from the reforming part, minimizing energy waste.
- Cost-effective: The integration of two machines into one system reduces equipment and operational costs.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen reforming system including a reforming part configured to extract hydrogen from a source gas, and a metal hydride compressor configured to be operated by waste heat discharged from the reforming part and to compress the hydrogen discharged from the reforming part, thereby obtaining an advantageous effect of combining the function of two machines and improving energy efficiency.
