SOLAR-BASED REACTOR TUBES AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18072177 titled 'SOLAR-BASED REACTOR TUBES AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The disclosure relates to solar-based reactor tubes and related systems and methods. In general, the reactor tube includes an exterior cylinder, a cylindrical hydrogen-permeable membrane disposed in an interior space of the exterior cylinder, an annular space defined by an outer surface of the cylindrical hydrogen-permeable membrane and an inner surface of the exterior cylinder, a catalyst, and a heating element. A first gas stream and a second gas stream can be configured to pass through the reactor tube. The systems can be used to produce hydrogen (e.g., from ammonia cracking).
- Solar-based reactor tubes with hydrogen-permeable membranes
- Reactor tubes include a catalyst and a heating element
- Capable of producing hydrogen through gas streams passing through the tube
Potential Applications
