Description

conventional Heating systems are fueled with heating oil, Natural gas or LPG operated. These fossil fuels are non-renewable and thus consumed in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, these are fuels very expensive and will continue to rise in price in the future. she on the one hand through a complex underground pipe network or by road tanker, from large storage tanks of the manufacturer, available to the end user posed. This already contains a large amount of dangers in itself. For fuel oil is at the end user an elaborately prepared installation space for the Tank system required and within a drinking water protection area or a flood hazard area is a list of fuel oil tanks not possible or only with enormous requirements. When stocking of liquefied gas is a special tank that is outdoors, on a special base plate must be set up. In the supply of natural gas the end user is always from a utility company and its pricing policy dependent.

Of the biggest disadvantage of fossil fuels lies in the formation of CO2 at theirs Combustion and this is known to be a major component of air pollution as well as global warming.

Of the in the protection claim specified invention is based on the problem an inexpensive to produce and to provide a low-cost mountable fuel gas production system which Ensures efficient fuel gas supply and avoids CO2 emissions, and reduces energy consumption.

The Invention will be explained in more detail below by way of example.

Sheet 1 of the drawings:

Here is the electrolysis plant for the production of fuel gas for heating purposes shown in section.

The system is connected via the water connection ( 1 ), the constant water level is measured by means of the level sensor ( 2 ) supervised. To keep the system largely depressurized, a breather ( 3 ) built-in. The exact pressure conditions are on the manometers ( 4 ) can be seen. The anode ( 6 ) and the cathode ( 7 ) can be removed from the container for maintenance or renewal purposes. The hydrogen generated for heating purposes is via the fuel gas outlet ( 5 ) fed to the burner on the boiler.

Sheet 2 of the drawings:

This drawing shows the complete system consisting of electrolysis system ( 1 ), Boilers ( 2 ), Burner (BRE), control (ZR, HKR) and line.

to Installation of the system are only minor work on existing heating systems perform.

In this case, the electrolysis plant ( 1 ) in the immediate vicinity of the boiler ( 2 ) and connected to a water supply. The fuel gas outlet is connected to the new gas burner for hydrogen. A central control (CC) to be installed controls and controls the control of the boiler (HCR), the anode and cathode power supply, the level sensor and the motorized valve on the water connection so that the system runs fully automatically after programming. The power supply ( 3 ) for the central regulation can be made from the normal energy network, but also from photovoltaic systems and other electricity suppliers.

According to the invention this Problem solved by the features specified in the protection claims.

This new heating system is powered by hydrogen. Has hydrogen a very high usable energy and can thus in small quantities the fossil ones Replace fuels. Due to its frequent occurrence is hydrogen over and over again producible and thus inexhaustible.

In this plant, the hydrogen is to be obtained from water, it is not necessary to use valuable drinking water. You can also use rainwater or gray water in this system, this no elaborate deposits or underground pipe networks are necessary. The user is independent of energy providers and their high prices. The necessary electrical energy can also be generated by means of a photovoltaic system without an energy supplier. But you can also use the offer of the electricity supplier and feed the electricity generated in the network, thus partially refinance the purchase of the photovoltaic system in this way. This results in the user only the cost of the electrolysis plant and the rainwater or greywater system, if one calculates these with the useful life on the user to many times less cost a year than with the use of fossil fuels. The conversion of existing heating systems is done with a small amount of dirt and time. With the kit to be protected, oil, natural gas and LPG plants can be converted in the same way. Of the However, the most important and most valuable advantage is the CO2-free combustion of hydrogen, which means that this use is completely harmless to humans, animals, the entire environment and the atmosphere, and climate change could thus be greatly reduced and contained.
