Description
Wasserstoff ist ein Energieträger, dessen Einsatz besonders um weltfreundlich ist. Die durch Umsetzung mit Sauerstoff (Verbrennung) freigesetzte Energie ist nicht mit der Erzeugung von schädlichen Abgasen gekoppelt, da als Verbrennungsprodukt lediglich Wasser bzw. Wasserdampf anfällt. Dabei eignet sich die Wasserstoffenergie nicht nur zur Strom- und Wärmeerzeugung sondern auch als Treibstoff von Motoren, beispielsweise Kraft fahrzeugmotoren.Hydrogen is an energy source, the use of which is particularly important is world friendly. The reaction with oxygen (Combustion) released energy is not with the generation coupled with harmful exhaust gases as a combustion product only water or water vapor is produced. It is suitable Hydrogen energy is not only used to generate electricity and heat but also as fuel for engines, such as power vehicle engines.
Es ist bekannt, Wasserstoff dadurch zu gewinnen, daß Wasser mittels Elektrolyse in Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff gespalten wird, wobei die Elektrolyse mit einem entsprechenden Stromver brauch durchgeführt wird. Bei großtechnischen Anlagen werden die Spaltprodukte Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff aufgefangen und komprimiert in Druckbehältern gespeichert, um dann ihrer Ver wendung zugeführt zu werden. It is known to obtain hydrogen by using water split into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis is, the electrolysis with a corresponding Stromver need is carried out. In large-scale plants the hydrogen and oxygen fission products are collected and stored compressed in pressure vessels, then their Ver application.
Der Stromaufwand für die Durchführung der Elektrolyse ist ein entscheidender Kostenfaktor, der die Rentabilität der elektro lytischen Wasserstoffgewinnung in Frage stellt. Dementsprechend ist auch bereits versucht worden, die Wasserstoff-Elektrolyse mittels Sonnenenergie zu betreiben, also mittels Solarzellen gewonnenen Solarstrom einzusetzen. Hierbei taucht die Schwie rigkeit auf, daß die Solarstromausbeute unter Berücksichtigung der geografischen Breitenlage jahreszeitlich und abhängig vom Bewölkungszustand sehr stark schwankt. Hinzu kommt der Tag- und Nachtwechsel. Jahreszeitliche Schwankungen entfallen zwar weit gehend in einem äquatorialen Gürtelbereich, und außerdem sind dort auch Gegenden mit statistisch belegter hoher Sonnenein strahlung über das ganze Jahr bekannt, aber ein Ausweichen da hin ist mit Problemen und Kosten für den Transport des Wasser stoffs an seine Verwendungsstelle bzw. mit dem Transport des Solarstroms verbunden.The amount of electricity required to carry out the electrolysis is one crucial cost factor affecting the profitability of the electro questions lytic hydrogen production. Accordingly Hydrogen electrolysis has also been tried to operate using solar energy, i.e. using solar cells use solar power obtained. Here the Schwie dives rigor that taking into account the solar power yield the geographical latitude depending on the season Cloudiness fluctuates very strongly. Add to that the day and Night change. Seasonal fluctuations are largely absent going in an equatorial belt area, and also are there also areas with statistically proven high sunshine radiation known throughout the year, but a dodge there gone with problems and costs of transporting the water to its place of use or with the transport of the Solar electricity connected.
Schließlich ist es auch bekannt, Wasserstoff in Druckbehältern zu speichern und diese mittels Schiffen zu transportieren. Da bei werden solche schwimmenden Vorrichtungen aber nur als Zwi schenglied innerhalb der Transportkette eingesetzt. Da die Was serstofferzeugung an Land erfolgt, müssen entsprechend aufwen dige Verladevorgänge in Kauf genommen werden.Finally, it is also known to use hydrogen in pressure tanks to store and transport them by ship. There such floating devices are only used as an intermediate link used in the transport chain. Because the what production of fuel on land must be made accordingly loading operations are accepted.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Wasserstoff mit hoher Ausbeute und kostengünstig elektrolytisch zu erzeugen und dabei auch den Wasserstofftransport auf einfache Weise durchzuführen.The invention has for its object hydrogen with high Yield and inexpensive to produce electrolytically and thereby also carry out the hydrogen transport in a simple manner.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht die Erfindung von einer schwim menden Vorrichtung aus, die gekennzeichnet ist durch eine An ordnung von Solarzellen zum Einfangen von Sonnenstrahlen und zum Erzeugen von elektrischem Strom, durch eine mit diesem Strom betriebene Elektrolyseanlage zur Spaltung von Wasser in Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff und durch mindestens einen Druckbe hälter zur Speicherung des erzeugten Wasserstoffs. To achieve this object, the invention is based on a swim emitting device, which is characterized by an order of solar cells to capture sun rays and to generate electrical current through one with this Electrically operated electrolysis system for splitting water into Hydrogen and oxygen and at least one Druckbe container for storing the generated hydrogen.
Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen dieser Erfin dung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Appropriate refinements and developments of this invention result from the subclaims.
Dadurch, daß die Gewinnung des Solarstroms und die Erzeugung des Wasserstoffs auf der schwimmenden Vorrichtung bzw. an Bord eines Schiffes erfolgen, ergeben sich eine Reihe von Vorteilen für das erfindungsgemäße Wasserstoffabrikschiff. Zunächst ist der Ausgangsstoff für die Elektrolyse, nämlich Wasser, in un mittelbarer Umgebung unbegrenzt verfügbar. Ggf. kann eingesetz tes Meerwasser an Bord gereinigt und entsalzen werden. Die Ortsungebundenheit der schwimmenden Vorrichtung ermöglicht das Aufsuchen von Meeresgegenden mit hoher regelmäßiger Sonnenein strahlung, so daß die vorgesehenen Solarzellen mit hoher Lei stung Strom liefern und eine dementsprechend effiziente Wasser stofferzeugung stattfindet. Dabei besteht die Möglichkeit, An passungen der Solarstromkapazität an den Bedarf dadurch vorzu nehmen, daß zusätzliche Solarzellen-Anordnungen über Bord aus gefahren oder ausgeklappt werden oder aber eine separate Schwimmeinheit mit zusätzlichen Solarzellen ins Schlepp genom men wird. Deswegen können für den erfindungsgemäßen Zweck un terschiedliche Schiffsgrößen eingesetzt werden, ohne daß auf eine rationelle Wasserstoffproduktion verzichtet werden muß.In that the generation of solar power and the generation of the hydrogen on the floating device or on board a ship, there are a number of advantages for the hydrogen factory ship according to the invention. First is the starting material for the electrolysis, namely water, in un Indirect environment available indefinitely. Possibly. can be used t sea water is cleaned and desalinated on board. The The floating device makes this possible Visiting sea areas with high regular sunshine radiation, so that the intended solar cells with high lei power supply and accordingly efficient water fabric production takes place. There is the possibility to This adapts the solar power capacity to the needs take that additional solar cell arrangements overboard driven or folded out or a separate one Floating unit with additional solar cells in tow genome men will. Therefore, un for the purpose of the invention Different ship sizes can be used without rational hydrogen production has to be dispensed with.
Ferner kann ein mit den Solarzellen ausgestattetes Schiff, das nicht einen vorgegebenen Kurs fahren muß, eine für die Sonnen einstrahlung optimale Ausrichtung einnehmen und diese von Zeit zu Zeit der auf einem Kreisbogen wandernden Sonne anpassen. Deswegen kann auf ein Nachführen der Solarzellen durch Schwen ken um eine vertikale Achse und den damit verbundenen Aufwand verzichtet werden. Zur vollen Ausnutzung der Sonneneinstrahlung reicht es vielmehr aus, die Solarzellen um zueinander parallele horizontale Achsen schwenkbar zu machen und zu neigen, um eine zum jeweiligen Einfallwinkel der Sonnenstrahlen rechtwinklige Ausrichtung der Solarzellen zu erreichen.Furthermore, a ship equipped with the solar cells, the does not have to drive a given course, one for the suns irradiation take optimal orientation and this of time adjust to the time of the sun moving on an arc. Because of this, the solar cells can be tracked by swinging around a vertical axis and the effort involved to be dispensed with. To take full advantage of solar radiation Rather, it is sufficient to make the solar cells parallel to one another to make horizontal axes pivotable and incline to one perpendicular to the respective angle of incidence of the sun's rays To achieve alignment of the solar cells.
Ein entscheidender weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, daß der Wasserstofftransport mittels der schwimmenden Vorrich tung bzw. des Wasserstoffabrikschiffs selbst durchgeführt wer den kann und zwar bei gleichzeitig ablaufender Produktion. Auch das führt zu einem deutlichen Vorsprung gegenüber ortsfest an Land stationierten Elektrolyseanlagen. Dieser Vorteil besteht selbst dann, wenn der schwimmenden Vorrichtung wenigstens ein gesondertes Transportschiff zum Transport der elektrolytisch erzeugten Gase zugeordnet ist. Diese Version mit wenigstens ei nem gesonderten Transportschiff empfiehlt sich bei besonders großen schwimmenden Vorrichtungen mit großflächigen Solarzel len-Anordnungen und mit entsprechend hoher Wasserstoffproduk tion.A decisive further advantage of the invention is that that the hydrogen transport by means of the floating device device or the hydrogen factory ship itself can do that with simultaneous production. Also this leads to a clear advantage over stationary Country based electrolysis plants. This advantage is there even if the floating device is at least one separate transport ship for transporting the electrolytically generated gases is assigned. This version with at least one A separate transport ship is particularly recommended for large floating devices with large-area solar cells len arrangements and with a correspondingly high hydrogen product tion.
Wie bereits ausgeführt eignen sich Schiffskörper von unter schiedlicher Größe für den Einsatz im Rahmen der Erfindung. Es ist im Rahmen der Erfindung auch beabsichtigt, gesunkene Schiffe zu heben und zu reparieren sowie in erfindungsgemäßer Weise auszurüsten. Auf diese Weise lassen sich im Vergleich zu einem Neubau beträchtliche Investitionskosten sparen und anson sten nicht mehr verwendbare und einigermaßen erhaltene Schiffs wracks einer sinnvollen Nutzung zuführen. Das gilt auch für sonstige ausgediente Altschiffe.As already stated, hulls from below are suitable different sizes for use in the context of the invention. It is also intended in the context of the invention, sunken Lifting and repairing ships as well as in the invention Way to equip. In this way, compared to save considerable investment costs in a new building and otherwise most unusable and reasonably preserved ship Make wrecks useful. This also applies to other used ships.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer schematischen Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention is described below a schematic drawing explained in more detail. Show it:
Fig. 1 ein Wasserstoffabrikschiff größtenteils im Längs schnitt, im übrigen in Seitenansicht; und Figure 1 is a hydrogen factory ship mostly in longitudinal section, otherwise in side view. and
Fig. 2 das Schiff gemäß Fig. 1 in Draufsicht mit back bordseitig und steuerbordseitig ausgefahrenen Grup pen von Solarzellen. Fig. 2 shows the ship of FIG. 1 in plan view with port groups and starboard side extended groups of solar cells.
Dargestellt ist eine schwimmende Vorrichtung 1 in Form eines Schiffes 2, das als Wasserstoffabrik ausgerüstet ist. Das Schiff 2 mit der angedeuteten Wasserlinie 3 ist mit einem Fahr antrieb in Form einer Schiffsschraube 4 und mit einem Ruder 5 ausgestattet. Der Schiffsschraube 4 ist eine schematisch ange deutete Antriebsmaschine 6 zugeordnet. Des weiteren ist das Schiff 2 mit einem Deckshaus 7 mit oberseitiger Brücke 8 und angedeuteten Navigationseinrichtungen 9 versehen. Soweit han delt es sich um ein Schiff in üblicher Bauweise.Shown is a floating device 1 in the form of a ship 2 , which is equipped as a hydrogen factory. The ship 2 with the indicated water line 3 is equipped with a drive in the form of a propeller 4 and with a rudder 5 . The propeller 4 is assigned a schematically indicated engine 6 . Furthermore, the ship 2 is provided with a deck house 7 with a bridge 8 at the top and indicated navigation devices 9 . So far, it is a ship of the usual design.
Das Schiff 2 weist bugseitig vom Deckshaus 7 eine Anordnung 10 von Solarzellen 11 auf, die innerhalb mehrerer Solarplatten zu sammengefaßt sind, nämlich oberen Solarplatten 12, mittleren Solarplatten 13 und unteren Solarplatten 14. Durch Unterteilung in Querrichtung sind drei in Längsrichtung des Schiffes hinter einander angeordnete Plattenstapel gebildet.The ship 2 has an arrangement 10 of solar cells 11 on the bow side of the deck house 7 , which are grouped together within a plurality of solar panels, namely upper solar panels 12 , middle solar panels 13 and lower solar panels 14 . Subdivision in the transverse direction forms three stacked plates arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the ship.
Wie Fig. 2 veranschaulicht, lassen sich die oberen Solarplat ten 12 nach Steuerbord und die mittleren Solarplatten 13 nach Backbord seitlich in eine Betriebsstellung aus fahren oder aus klappen, so daß sie über Bord hinausragen und sich gegenseitig nicht mehr überdecken, so daß alle Solarzellen 11 voll wirksam Strom erzeugen können, während im eingefahrenen oder einge klappten Zustand im wesentlichen nur die Solarzellen 11 der oberen Solarplatten 12 wirksam sind. Dementsprechend kann die Solarstromgewinnung einerseits dem Strombedarf für die Elektro lyse und andererseits den Umgebungsbedingungen angepaßt werden. Letzteres beispielsweise durch Einfahren oder Einklappen der oberen und mittleren Solarplatten 12 und 13 bei Sturm oder rau her See, weil dann die Abstützung der in ihrer Betriebsstellung im Bereich der Bordkante aufliegenden Solarplatten 12 und 13 sich als nicht genügend stabil erweisen könnte.As illustrated in FIG. 2, the upper solar panels 12 to starboard and the middle solar panels 13 to port can be moved laterally into an operating position or fold out, so that they protrude overboard and no longer overlap each other, so that all solar cells 11th can generate electricity effectively, while in the retracted or folded state essentially only the solar cells 11 of the upper solar panels 12 are effective. Accordingly, the solar power generation can be adapted on the one hand to the electricity required for the electrolysis and on the other hand to the ambient conditions. The latter, for example, by retracting or folding in the upper and middle solar panels 12 and 13 during storms or rough seas, because then the support of the solar panels 12 and 13 resting in their operating position in the area of the beltline could prove to be insufficiently stable.
Des weiteren ist unter Deck des Schiffs 2 eine Elektrolysean lage 15 installiert, die über eine Stromleitung 16 an die So larzellen 11 angeschlossen ist. Die Stromleitung 16 ist auch zur Antriebsmaschine 6 weitergeführt, so daß ggf. das Schiff 2 auch mit Solarstrom fahren kann.Furthermore, an electrolysis system 15 is installed below deck of the ship 2 , which is connected via a power line 16 to the solar cells 11 . The power line 16 is also continued to the engine 6 , so that the ship 2 can also run on solar power if necessary.
Die Elektrolyseanlage 15 dient der Spaltung von Meerwasser, das über eine Wasserzuführleitung 17, eine Reinigungsvorrichtung 18 und eine Entsalzungsvorrichtung 19 zur Elektrolyseanlage 15 strömt.The electrolysis system 15 is used to split sea water, which flows to the electrolysis system 15 via a water supply line 17 , a cleaning device 18 and a desalination device 19 .
Der in der Elektrolyseanlage 15 anfallende Sauerstoff wird über eine Sauerstoffleitung 20 mit einer Verdichtungspumpe 21 kugel förmigen Druckbehältern 22 zur Speicherung von Sauerstoff zuge führt. Diese Sauerstoff-Druckbehälter 22 sind bugseitig unter Deck angeordnet. Dagegen wird der in der Elektrolyseanlage 15 anfallende Wasserstoff über eine Wasserstoffleitung 23 mit ei ner Verdichtungspumpe 24 großen kugelförmigen Druckbehältern 25 für Wasserstoff zugeführt, die heckseitig an Deck angeordnet sind.The resulting in the electrolysis system 15 is supplied via an oxygen line 20 with a compression pump 21 spherical pressure vessels 22 for storing oxygen. These oxygen pressure vessels 22 are arranged on the bow side below deck. In contrast, the resulting hydrogen in the electrolysis plant 15 via a hydrogen line 23 with egg ner compression pump 24 large spherical pressure vessels 25 for hydrogen, which are arranged on the stern side on deck.
Weitere kleinere kugelförmige Druckbehälter 26, die sich heck seitig unter Deck befinden, können ggf. auch als Wasserstoff speicher genutzt werden. Im übrigen ist die Wasserstoffleitung 23 wie dargestellt auch an die Antriebsmaschine 6 angeschlos sen, so daß die Schiffsschraube 4 gegebenenfalls auch mittels Wasserstoff angetrieben werden kann.Other smaller spherical pressure vessels 26 , which are located on the stern side below deck, can optionally also be used as hydrogen storage. Incidentally, the hydrogen line 23 is also shown as ruled out to the engine 6 , so that the propeller 4 can optionally be driven by hydrogen.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das in den Figuren dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, vielmehr sind noch mannigfache Abwandlungen und Ergänzungen möglich, ohne von dem grundsätzli chen Erfindungsgedanken abzuweichen. Dazu gehört insbesondere auch, daß es sich bei dem Schiff 2 und/oder der abschleppbaren Schwimmeinheit um einen vom Meeresgrund gehobenen und/oder ge gebenenfalls reparierten und/oder entsprechend umgerüsteten Schiffskörper handelt.The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the figures, but many other modifications and additions are possible without deviating from the basic inventive idea. This includes, in particular, that the ship 2 and / or the towable swimming unit is a raised and / or ge possibly repaired and / or appropriately converted hull.
