Description

本発明は、塩基性電解液を用いた水電解によって得られる水電解ガスと液化天然ガスや液化石油ガス等の気体化石燃料とを混合することにより得られる水電解ガス混合燃料の生成装置及び生成方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a water electrolysis gas mixed fuel producing apparatus and production obtained by mixing a water electrolysis gas obtained by water electrolysis using a basic electrolyte and a gas fossil fuel such as liquefied natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. Regarding the method.

塩基性である水酸化カリウム(KOH)水溶液中で、水(H2O)が電離し、水酸化物イオンOH-と水素イオンH+とが生じることは周知の事実である。ここで、水酸化物イオンOH-はカソード(陰極)側からアノード(陽極)側に向けて移動するイオンであるとの意味でアニオンとも称され、水素イオンH+はその反対にアノード(陽極)側からカソード(陰極)側に移動するイオンであるためカチオンとも称される。この水素イオンH+は、混在する水分子H2Oと共有結合を生じ「オキソニウムイオン(H3+)」となる。このことは水と水素イオンとが混在する環境下、つまり水電解槽の内部では多くは共有結合により「オキソニウムイオン(H3+)」として存在することを意味する。このように水電解によって水素−酸素ガスとも呼ばれる水電解ガスを発生させる装置は従来から多数開示されている。本発明は塩基性電解液における水電解によって得られる水電解ガスを用いるものである。 It is a well-known fact that water (H 2 O) is ionized in a basic potassium hydroxide (KOH) aqueous solution to generate hydroxide ions OH and hydrogen ions H + . Here, the hydroxide ion OH is also called an anion in the sense that it moves from the cathode (cathode) side to the anode (anode) side, and the hydrogen ion H + is the anode (anode) on the contrary. It is also called a cation because it is an ion that moves from the side to the cathode (cathode) side. This hydrogen ion H + forms a covalent bond with the mixed water molecule H 2 O and becomes an “oxonium ion (H 3 O + )”. This means that in an environment where water and hydrogen ions coexist, that is, in the water electrolysis cell, many exist as “oxonium ions (H 3 O + )” by covalent bonds. A number of apparatuses for generating water electrolysis gas, also called hydrogen-oxygen gas, by water electrolysis have been disclosed. The present invention uses a water electrolysis gas obtained by water electrolysis in a basic electrolyte.

According to this document, water (fossil fuel mixed emulsion) is irradiated with microwaves (ultra-short wave) to raise the temperature and vaporize. The water / fossil fuel mixed gas thus heated and vaporized is supplied to the burner and burned. The burner is preferably supplied with a high-temperature gas heated to brown gas combustion, and as a result, a high temperature of about 2000 ° C. can be obtained.

特許文献3は、ブラウンガスを安全かつ確実に燃焼させるブラウンガス燃焼用バーナーを開示する。そしてこのバーナーには、ブラウンガス流入口およびガス噴射口とが連通しているバーナーボディを形成し、バーナーボディのブラウンガス流動路内部に少なくとも1個以上の逆火防止手段を設けることにより安全性を高める構成を開示している。これら各先行文献は、いずれも水を水蒸気としあるいは水から得られるブラウンガスを燃料に添加することにより得られる気体を燃焼させようとするもので、霧状その他の複合燃料をバーナー等の燃焼手段に導いて燃焼させる方法又は装置を開示するものである。   Patent Document 3 discloses a brown gas combustion burner that burns brown gas safely and reliably. The burner is formed with a burner body in which a brown gas inlet and a gas injection port communicate with each other, and at least one or more flashback prevention means is provided inside the brown gas flow path of the burner body.

This partition plate is integrally attached to an elevating movable part 15 configured to be movable up and down in the mixing tank, and is immersed in the liquid accommodated in the mixing tank and its outer peripheral surface approaches the mixing tank inner wall. In this state, they are arranged in the horizontal direction.

本発明においては、仕切板には水電解ガスと気体化石燃料の気泡が容易に通過できない程度の細孔が多数形成されているため、混合槽11の底部に加圧導入されたこれらの気泡が仕切板の下面側に多数集合して集合体を形成し上方層への移動が停滞することにより前記混合槽の内圧が高くなるため当該仕切板が取付けられた昇降可動部15は上昇する。当該気泡集合体が破壊され気泡が仕切板の細孔を通過し上方層に移動するに連れて、昇降可動部15は降下する。このような昇降可動部15の上昇又は下降の変位をタッチセンサ等により検知して、あるいは混合槽の内圧の変化を圧力センサにより検知して、昇降可動部15が上昇した場合または混合槽内が高圧となった場合には、水電解ガス発生装置の電源をOFFにして水電解ガスの供給を停止し、絞り弁を閉じて気体化石燃料の混合槽内への供給を停止するように構成されている。   In the present invention, since the partition plate is formed with a large number of pores to the extent that the water electrolysis gas and the gas of the fossil fuel cannot easily pass through, the bubbles introduced under pressure at the bottom of the mixing tank 11 A large number of aggregates are formed on the lower surface side of the partition plate to form an aggregate, and the movement to the upper layer is stagnated. As a result, the internal pressure of the mixing tank is increased, and therefore the movable movable portion 15 to which the partition plate is attached rises. As the air bubble aggregate is destroyed and the air bubbles pass through the fine holes of the partition plate and move to the upper layer, the elevating movable unit 15 is lowered. Such a displacement of the ascending / descending movable part 15 is detected by a touch sensor or the like, or a change in the internal pressure of the mixing tank is detected by a pressure sensor, and the raising / lowering movable part 15 is raised or the inside of the mixing tank is When the pressure becomes high, the water electrolysis gas generator is turned off to stop the supply of water electrolysis gas, and the throttle valve is closed to stop the supply of gas fossil fuel into the mixing tank. ing.

このような構成により、本発明により生成された水電解ガス混合燃料を従来の液化天然ガス(LNG)や液化石油ガス(LPG)等を燃焼させる暖房用バーナーにより燃焼させた場合、LPGのみの燃焼と同等の熱量を得るためのLPGの消費量は約40%程度で足り、大幅に低減されることが確認されている。また、一定条件下において水電解ガスの供給も停止されるので水電解ガス発生装置を稼働させるための電力消費量も低減されることになる。このようにして生成され排出手段14から取り出される水電解ガス混合燃料はほぼ完全燃焼が得られるように改質されている。   With such a configuration, when the water electrolysis gas mixed fuel produced by the present invention is burned by a heating burner that burns conventional liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or the like, only LPG is burned. It has been confirmed that the amount of LPG consumed for obtaining the same amount of heat is about 40%, which is significantly reduced. In addition, since the supply of water electrolysis gas is stopped under certain conditions, the power consumption for operating the water electrolysis gas generator is also reduced. The water electrolysis gas mixed fuel produced in this way and taken out from the discharge means 14 is reformed so as to obtain almost complete combustion.

上述のように水電解ガスと気体化石燃料とを混合することにより、燃焼効率が大幅に改善され、所要熱量を得るために必要となる化石燃料消費量の大幅低減を可能にする。また、上述の塩基性電解液における水電解によって得られる水電解ガスに関しては、本出願人に係る特願2008−277756により開示する発明の名称「水電解ガス発生装置」によって生成される水電解ガスを有利に利用することができる。当該水電解ガス発生装置によれば、水電解ガスを効率よく持続的に発生させて前記水電解ガス供給手段12を介して混合槽11内へ加圧導入することができる。この水電解ガスは基本的に水の電解によって発生するものであるから量的並びに経済的に極めて有利な素材であることは明らかである。   By mixing the water electrolysis gas and the gas fossil fuel as described above, the combustion efficiency is greatly improved, and the consumption of fossil fuel required for obtaining the required heat quantity can be greatly reduced. Moreover, regarding the water electrolysis gas obtained by water electrolysis in the above basic electrolyte, the water electrolysis gas produced by the name “water electrolysis gas generator” disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-277756 relating to the present applicant. Can be advantageously used. According to the water electrolysis gas generator, water electrolysis gas can be efficiently and continuously generated and introduced into the mixing tank 11 through the water electrolysis gas supply means 12 under pressure. Since this water electrolysis gas is basically generated by electrolysis of water, it is clear that it is a material that is extremely advantageous in terms of quantity and economy.

廉価かつ豊富な素材である水の電解によって得られる水電解ガスを利用することにより、気体状の炭化水素その他炭素含有物質の燃焼効率を向上させることができる。気体化石燃料に水電解ガスを混合することにより水電解ガス混合燃料が生成され、熱量増大効果を発揮することはエネルギー資源の有効利用の観点からも有利である。   By using water electrolysis gas obtained by electrolysis of water, which is an inexpensive and abundant material, the combustion efficiency of gaseous hydrocarbons and other carbon-containing substances can be improved. It is also advantageous from the viewpoint of effective use of energy resources that water-electrolyzed gas mixed fuel is produced by mixing water-electrolyzed gas with gas fossil fuel and exhibits the effect of increasing the amount of heat.

本発明により取り出された水電解ガス混合燃料によれば、上述のように強力な燃焼反応が可能となる。また、本発明においては水電解ガス混合燃料に前記混合槽内部に収容されたアルカン系、アルコール系、エーテル系物質等の有機化合物の液体から気化するガスを含有するためさらに強力で活発な燃焼反応が可能となる。かかる燃焼反応を利用する用途は、単なる加熱装置・暖房機等のバーナーに限られるものではなく、広義の燃焼装置、例えば内燃機関、ガスタービン、ジェットエンジン等多くの熱機関における気体燃料として使用することができ、これら各種熱機関等の燃料としての利用にも可能性がある。   According to the water electrolysis gas mixed fuel taken out according to the present invention, a powerful combustion reaction is possible as described above. Further, in the present invention, the water electrolysis gas mixed fuel contains a gas evaporating from a liquid of an organic compound such as an alkane-based, alcohol-based, or ether-based substance contained in the mixing tank, so that a more powerful and active combustion reaction Is possible. The use of such a combustion reaction is not limited to a simple burner such as a heating device or a heater, but is used as a gaseous fuel in a wide range of combustion devices such as internal combustion engines, gas turbines, jet engines, and many other heat engines. It can also be used as fuel for these various heat engines.

本発明によれば、水電解ガスと適宜種の気体化石燃料とを混合することにより気体化石燃料の燃焼反応が活発になり強力な火力が得られる。その結果、同一の熱量を得る際に、大気中の酸素を使用する在来の燃焼方法に比して本来の気体化石燃料単独の消費量が約60%低減される。そのため同一熱量を得る燃焼時の所要空気量も減少するため熱効率が向上し、発生する二酸化炭素の排出量も比例して低減される。当然ながら、埋蔵量が有限である化石燃料の節減・有効利用に加えて地球温暖化対策としても有効である。また、硫黄酸化物(SOx)や窒素酸化物(NOx)の排出量も大幅に低減されるため環境対策としても極めて有効である。   According to the present invention, by mixing the water electrolysis gas and an appropriate kind of gas fossil fuel, the combustion reaction of the gas fossil fuel becomes active and a strong thermal power can be obtained. As a result, when the same amount of heat is obtained, the consumption of the original gas fossil fuel alone is reduced by about 60% compared with the conventional combustion method using oxygen in the atmosphere. Therefore, the amount of air required for combustion to obtain the same amount of heat is also reduced, so that the thermal efficiency is improved and the generated carbon dioxide emission is also reduced proportionally. Naturally, it is effective as a measure against global warming in addition to saving and effective use of fossil fuels with limited reserves. Moreover, since the discharge amount of sulfur oxide (SOx) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) is greatly reduced, it is extremely effective as an environmental measure.

また、昇降可動部15に取付けられた各仕切板51、52、53同士の間隔を、本装置に使用する気体化石燃料や水電解ガス混合燃料の生成条件に応じて調節可能であるように構成することができる。この間隔調整は、予め用意された各種長さの連結棒を所望間隔になる長さの連結棒とする、あるいは各仕切板を連結する連結棒をネジにより取り付けネジ調整により所望間隔になるように所定長さに設定することにより行なうことができる。仕切板に形成される細孔の口径や密度、並びに各仕切板の間隔、配置は、槽内に充填されるアルカン系、アルコール系、エーテル系物質等の液体の種類、粘度、容量、温度等をはじめ、気体化石燃料の種類、供給量、装置の規模、水電解ガス混合燃料の発生量等を勘案して所望の混合速度ならびに収量が得られるように調節することができる。   Moreover, it is comprised so that the space | interval of each partition plate 51,52,53 attached to the raising / lowering movable part 15 can be adjusted according to the production conditions of the gas fossil fuel used for this apparatus, or a water electrolysis gas mixed fuel. can do.

The vaporized gas can be used as a combustion aid for the water-electrolyzed gas mixed fuel, thereby enabling a more powerful and active combustion reaction. In this case, it is necessary to appropriately replenish the liquid L stored in the mixing tank.

水電解ガス供給手段12および化石燃料供給手段13から混合槽に導入される水電解ガスおよび気体化石燃料は、混合槽内に充填されたアルカン系、アルコール系、エーテル系物質等の有機化合物から選ばれた液体の液圧に対向して加圧導入する必要があり、0.05〜0.2MPa、好ましくは0.08〜0.15MPa程度の加圧注入が行われる。また、水電解ガス供給手段12および化石燃料供給手段13には逆止弁102、103が配設されており、この逆止弁は前記混合槽内に充填された液体が混合槽から水電解ガス発生供給装置30、ガスボンベ等の気体化石燃料供給装置40へ逆流することを防止し、特に混合槽内が高圧となった場合に逆流を確実に阻止するものである。   The water electrolysis gas and the gas fossil fuel introduced into the mixing tank from the water electrolysis gas supply means 12 and the fossil fuel supply means 13 are selected from organic compounds such as alkane-based, alcohol-based, and ether-based substances filled in the mixing tank. It is necessary to introduce a pressure opposite to the liquid pressure of the liquid, and a pressure injection of about 0.05 to 0.2 MPa, preferably about 0.08 to 0.15 MPa is performed. The water electrolysis gas supply means 12 and the fossil fuel supply means 13 are provided with check valves 102 and 103, respectively, in which the liquid filled in the mixing tank is transferred from the mixing tank to the water electrolysis gas. This prevents backflow to the fossil fuel supply device 40 such as the generation supply device 30 and the gas cylinder, and reliably prevents backflow when the inside of the mixing tank becomes high pressure.

The control means 20 is movable up and down to which a partition plate is attached, which is generated when a large number of bubbles of water electrolysis gas and gas fossil fuel gather on the lower surface side of the partition plate to form a bubble aggregate and the movement to the upper layer is stagnant. The displacement of the rising of the unit 15 is detected by a touch sensor or the like, and the supply of the water electrolysis gas and the gas fossil fuel from the water electrolysis gas generator 30 and the gas fossil fuel supply device 40 to the mixing tank is stopped. To do. On the other hand, when the bubble assembly is broken and the bubbles pass through the pores and move to the upper layer, the lowering movement of the elevating movable unit 15 is detected, and the water electrolytic gas and the fossil fuel are mixed into the mixing tank. Control to start or restart (restart) the supply.

また、前記制御手段20は、前記気泡が上方層への移動が停滞する、又は上方層へ移動することにより生じる、混合槽の内圧の変化を圧力センサにより検知して、水電解ガス及び気体化石燃料の混合槽内への供給を停止又は開始(再開)するように制御することができる。前記制御手段20は、混合槽の内圧が気体化石燃料の混合槽内への供給停止条件として予め設定された圧力と同一圧に達したことを検知した場合に水電解ガスの混合槽内への供給を停止するように制御し、混合槽の内圧が当該設定圧より低下したことを検知した場合に水電解ガスの混合槽内への供給を開始(再開)するように制御することができる。   Further, the control means 20 detects a change in the internal pressure of the mixing tank caused by the movement of the bubbles to the upper layer or the movement of the bubbles to the upper layer by a pressure sensor, so that water electrolysis gas and gas fossil It can be controlled to stop or start (restart) the supply of fuel into the mixing tank. When the control means 20 detects that the internal pressure of the mixing tank has reached the same pressure as the pressure preset as the supply stop condition for the gas fossil fuel mixing tank, the control means 20 supplies the water electrolysis gas to the mixing tank. The supply can be controlled to be stopped, and when it is detected that the internal pressure of the mixing tank is lower than the set pressure, the supply of water electrolysis gas into the mixing tank can be started (restarted).

ここで、水電解ガスの混合槽内への供給停止/開始(再開)にあたっては、後述する水電解ガス発生装置の起動電源の0N/OFF切り替え制御により行なわれ、気体化石燃料の混合槽内への供給停止/開始(再開)にあたっては、液化石油ガス等のガスボンベ40に絞り弁を配設し当該絞り弁の開閉制御により行なわれる。なお、これら各構成要素全体の動作を制御する制御装置が設けられるが、当業者には既存の制御技術により容易に構成可能な範囲であるため詳細については省略する。   Here, in stopping / starting (restarting) the supply of the water electrolysis gas into the mixing tank, it is performed by 0N / OFF switching control of the activation power source of the water electrolysis gas generator described later, and into the mixing tank of the gas fossil fuel. In stopping / starting (resuming) the supply, a throttle valve is provided in a gas cylinder 40 such as liquefied petroleum gas, and the throttle valve is controlled to be opened and closed. A control device for controlling the overall operation of each of these constituent elements is provided, but details are omitted because those skilled in the art can easily configure the existing control technology.

電解槽300は、電解槽の底部に電解液導入口31、電解槽の底部側に陽極板32、上部側に陰極板33を備え、両電極の中間には電解液旋回通流手段34としての所要枚数の金属板34−1〜nが所定間隔で配設されている。陽極および陰極にはステンレス304又はステンレス316を使用することができる。金属板群34のそれぞれは、後述するように両電極やその他の部位にも電気的に接続されておらず、各種プラスチックを成形した筒状絶縁体37によって固定支持されている。また個々の金属板同士も電気的に接続されていないが、陽極と陰極との間に満たされている電解液層によって陽極側から陰極側にかけて必然的に形成される電位傾度に応じた電位差に相当する電位となっており、介在する電解液の旋回流動作用が均質となるように作用する。   The electrolytic cell 300 includes an electrolytic solution inlet 31 at the bottom of the electrolytic cell, an anode plate 32 at the bottom of the electrolytic cell, and a cathode plate 33 at the top, and serves as an electrolyte swirl flow means 34 between the two electrodes. A required number of metal plates 34-1 to n are arranged at predetermined intervals. Stainless steel 304 or stainless steel 316 can be used for the anode and the cathode. As will be described later, each of the metal plate groups 34 is not electrically connected to both electrodes and other parts, and is fixedly supported by a cylindrical insulator 37 formed of various plastics. In addition, the individual metal plates are not electrically connected to each other, but a potential difference corresponding to a potential gradient that is inevitably formed from the anode side to the cathode side by the electrolyte layer filled between the anode and the cathode. It has a corresponding potential and acts so that the swirling flow action of the intervening electrolyte is uniform.

本発明においては、電解液循環装置による電解液の強制循環並びに旋回通流手段としての金属板群による電解液の旋回流動によって、電解槽内の温度上昇を抑制することが可能であるので、金属板群を固定支持する外枠体を塩化ビニール等のプラスチック製とすることができる。これにより電解槽の製造コストを大幅に低減できる。また、電解槽の外部は絶縁体により包囲されており、そのため漏電が回避される。金属板34−1〜n個々の間隔は、例えば相互間の電位差が1.8〔V〕となるように設定すると都合がよい。このような陽極を経て所要枚数の金属板群34から陰極までの間を電解液が旋回流動してゆく過程において水電解が行われ、水電解ガスが発生する。そして、この金属板を多数配設することにより、電解槽から水電解ガスを加速させつつ大量に発生させることができる。この水電解ガスと電解液の混在物は上方の取出し口35から取り出される。   In the present invention, it is possible to suppress the rise in temperature in the electrolytic cell by forced circulation of the electrolytic solution by the electrolytic solution circulation device and swirling flow of the electrolytic solution by the metal plate group as swirl flow means. The outer frame body that fixes and supports the plate group can be made of plastic such as vinyl chloride. Thereby, the manufacturing cost of an electrolytic cell can be reduced significantly. Further, the outside of the electrolytic cell is surrounded by an insulator, so that leakage is avoided. It is convenient to set the intervals between the metal plates 34-1 to 34-n so that, for example, the potential difference between them is 1.8 [V]. Water electrolysis is performed in a process in which the electrolytic solution swirls between the required number of metal plate groups 34 and the cathode through the anode, and water electrolysis gas is generated. By arranging a large number of these metal plates, it is possible to generate a large amount of water electrolysis gas from the electrolytic cell while accelerating it. The mixture of the water electrolysis gas and the electrolytic solution is taken out from the upper outlet 35.

図5は、電解槽300内の陽極と陰極との間に所要枚数、例えば10枚前後から100枚以上が所定間隔で配設される金属板群34を構成する単一体の実施例を示すものである。なお、この金属板の形状は本実施例では図5のように円形であるが、五角形、六角形、七角形、・・・のような多角形であってもよい。円板として形成された本実施例では、中心点Cから点対称となる位置に穴あけ加工された4個の電解液通過開口47が形成されている。また、本実施例では円形の金属板を使用しているので、これら金属板群を固定支持する外枠体を円筒状としているが、この金属板群を固定支持する外枠体の形状は円筒状に限定されるものではなく、金属板の形状を五角形、六角形、七角形のような多角形に形成する場合は、当該金属板の形状に合わせて多角形の筒状体とすることができる。   FIG. 5 shows an example of a single body constituting the metal plate group 34 in which a required number of, for example, about 10 to 100 or more sheets are arranged at predetermined intervals between the anode and the cathode in the electrolytic cell 300. It is. In this embodiment, the shape of the metal plate is circular as shown in FIG. 5, but may be a polygon such as a pentagon, a hexagon, a heptagon,. In this embodiment, which is formed as a disc, four electrolyte solution passage openings 47 are formed by drilling at a point symmetric with respect to the center point C. In addition, since the circular metal plate is used in this embodiment, the outer frame body that fixes and supports these metal plate groups is cylindrical, but the shape of the outer frame body that fixes and supports these metal plate groups is cylindrical. The shape of the metal plate is not limited to a polygonal shape, and when the shape of the metal plate is a polygon such as a pentagon, a hexagon, or a heptagon, a polygonal cylindrical body may be formed in accordance with the shape of the metal plate. it can.

前記単一体に形成される電解液通過開口47は、陽極側から陰極側に向けて水電解ガスと電解液を通流させるものであり、このような金属円板を組み立て固定するにあたっては、開口47が所定角度、例えば図5の〔1〕〜〔6〕のように15度ずつ順次変位するように位置決めを行う。その結果、陽極に隣接する金属板の開口に対してその上側に所定間隔をもって配設される次段金属板の開口は、例えば反時計方向に15度変位され、その上の金属板の開口はさらに15度のような適宜角度で順次変位されながら所要枚数、数十枚から百数十枚程度の中から選ばれた適宜枚数の金属板が、筒状絶縁体により固定支持される。なお、開口の変位角度は15度に限定されるものではない。   The electrolyte passage opening 47 formed in the single body allows water electrolysis gas and electrolyte to flow from the anode side to the cathode side. When assembling and fixing such a metal disk, the opening is provided. Positioning is performed so that 47 is sequentially displaced by a predetermined angle, for example, 15 degrees as shown in [1] to [6] in FIG. As a result, the opening of the next-stage metal plate disposed at a predetermined interval above the opening of the metal plate adjacent to the anode is displaced, for example, 15 degrees counterclockwise, and the opening of the metal plate above it is Further, an appropriate number of metal plates selected from the required number, from several tens to several hundreds, while being sequentially displaced at an appropriate angle such as 15 degrees, are fixedly supported by the cylindrical insulator. The displacement angle of the opening is not limited to 15 degrees.

陽極板と陰極板との間に印加される直流電圧は中間に介在せしめられる金属板群の枚数によって異なるが、個々の金属板間の電位差が概ね1.8〔V〕となるように選定することが望ましい。なお、これら金属板のそれぞれに対応する開口47に着目すると、陽極側から陰極側にかけても所定角度、例えば15度ずつ次第に変位し、通過電解液がスパイラル状となるように整列されることになる。このように開口が所定角度ずつ順次変位するように配置された金属板群の内部を陽極から陰極の方向に流動する電解液は、金属板群の配設枚数と変位角によって決まる流動路に従って、旋回を伴いながら上昇流を形成することになる。その結果、電解液は規則的な撹拌を受けながら流動するため電解反応が促進され、水電解ガスの生成収率の向上が期待できる。   The DC voltage applied between the anode plate and the cathode plate varies depending on the number of metal plate groups interposed in the middle, but is selected so that the potential difference between the individual metal plates is approximately 1.8 [V]. It is desirable. When attention is paid to the openings 47 corresponding to each of these metal plates, they are gradually displaced from the anode side to the cathode side by a predetermined angle, for example, 15 degrees, and the passing electrolyte solution is aligned in a spiral shape. . The electrolyte flowing in the direction from the anode to the cathode in the metal plate group arranged so that the openings are sequentially displaced by a predetermined angle in this way follows the flow path determined by the number of metal plate groups arranged and the displacement angle. An upward flow is formed with a turn. As a result, the electrolytic solution flows while receiving regular agitation, so that the electrolytic reaction is promoted, and an improvement in the production yield of the water electrolysis gas can be expected.

なお、このような金属板の開口は、電解反応の進行に伴って発生する水電解ガスの上昇を促進する効果をも発揮するため、4〜6個程度設けると都合がよい。また、電解槽300の上端には新たな電解液を補充するためにバルブ付きの電解液補給口36を配設している。この電解液補給口の取り付けは、他の部位、例えば下端の電解液導入口31に接続される配管に分岐バルブを接続しておき、この分岐バルブを介して補充するように構成してもよい。   In addition, since the opening of such a metal plate also exhibits the effect which accelerates | stimulates the raise of the water electrolysis gas generated with progress of an electrolysis reaction, it is convenient to provide about 4-6 pieces. In addition, an electrolytic solution supply port 36 with a valve is provided at the upper end of the electrolytic cell 300 to supply a new electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution replenishment port may be attached by connecting a branch valve to another part, for example, a pipe connected to the electrolyte solution introduction port 31 at the lower end, and replenishing via the branch valve. .

電解槽300から取り出された水電解ガスと電解液との混在物が底部側の導入口41から導入される。導入口41には、分離槽301の底部から槽内に突き出していて、多数の微細孔を設け、あるいは多孔質物質で形成された吐出口を形成して、これを介して水電解ガスと電解液との混在物が槽内に放出される。このように構成することにより、ガス成分通過の際の抵抗と電解液通過の抵抗とが異なる結果ガス成分の分散が促進され、良好な気液分離が促進される。このように気液分離された水電解ガスのガス成分は分離槽の上端に配設されたガス取出し口45から配管を通って前記水電解ガス供給手段12を介して混合槽11内へ加圧導入される。   A mixture of the water electrolysis gas and the electrolytic solution taken out from the electrolytic bath 300 is introduced from the inlet 41 on the bottom side. The introduction port 41 protrudes into the tank from the bottom of the separation tank 301 and is provided with a large number of fine holes or a discharge port formed of a porous material, through which water electrolysis gas and electrolysis are formed. The mixture with the liquid is discharged into the tank. By comprising in this way, the difference in the resistance at the time of a gas component passage and the resistance at the time of electrolyte solution passage will promote dispersion | distribution of a gas component, and favorable gas-liquid separation will be promoted. The gas component of the water electrolysis gas thus separated into gas and liquid is pressurized into the mixing tank 11 through the water electrolysis gas supply means 12 from the gas outlet 45 disposed at the upper end of the separation tank. be introduced.

このような気液分離の結果、分離槽内に残留する電解液は、分離槽底部に配設されている電解液取出し口42から取り出され、一部は電解液強制冷却装置302に移送されて適宜温度となるように冷却され、その後分離槽の底部に配設された冷却電解液取り入れ口43を経て分離槽内に戻される。この場合、電解槽内における電解液温度は、外気温度や発生ガス収量等により異なるが、概ね18℃ないし25℃程度とすることが望ましい。作用温度に関しては、低く過ぎれば反応が不安定となり、反対に高すぎれば電解反応効率の低下を招くため、上述のような温度範囲に維持することが望ましい。   As a result of such gas-liquid separation, the electrolyte remaining in the separation tank is taken out from the electrolyte outlet 42 provided at the bottom of the separation tank, and a part thereof is transferred to the electrolyte forced cooling device 302. It is cooled to an appropriate temperature, and then returned to the separation tank through the cooling electrolyte inlet 43 provided at the bottom of the separation tank. In this case, the temperature of the electrolytic solution in the electrolytic cell is preferably about 18 ° C. to 25 ° C., although it varies depending on the outside air temperature, the generated gas yield, and the like. As for the working temperature, if the temperature is too low, the reaction becomes unstable. On the other hand, if the temperature is too high, the electrolytic reaction efficiency is lowered. Therefore, it is desirable to maintain the temperature range as described above.

電解液強制冷却装置302に移送されなかった残余の電解液は、電解液循環装置303により電解槽に循環せしめられる。この場合、電解液を電解液強制冷却装置に如何なる割合で移送するか、電解槽に直接還流させるかに関しては、運転環境、例えば外気温度、電解液の温度、稼働時間等を考慮して所要制御装置を援用することにより最適の増減調節を実施することが望ましい。このような構成は、図3に示すように分離槽底部に電解液取出し口を1個配設し、パイプの途中で電解液強制冷却装置への移送と電解槽へ循環する流路に分岐するように構成した場合に適用される。   The remaining electrolytic solution that has not been transferred to the electrolytic solution forced cooling device 302 is circulated through the electrolytic cell by the electrolytic solution circulation device 303. In this case, regarding the proportion of the electrolyte to be transferred to the electrolyte forced cooling device or directly refluxed to the electrolytic cell, the required control is taken into account the operating environment, for example, the outside air temperature, the temperature of the electrolyte, the operating time, etc. It is desirable to implement the optimal increase / decrease adjustment by using the apparatus. In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, one electrolytic solution outlet is provided at the bottom of the separation tank, and it is branched into a flow path that circulates to the electrolytic solution forced transfer device and the electrolytic tank in the middle of the pipe. This is applied when configured as described above.

なお、分離槽底部に別途電解槽循環用として電解液取出し口を別に配設し、分離槽内に残留する適宜温度に冷却された電解液を当該電解液取出し口から電解液循環ポンプにより電解槽に循環させ、一方、別途設けられた取出し口から取り出された電解液は、電解液強制冷却装置に独立して備えられた循環ポンプ44により冷却電解液取り入れ口を経て分離槽に循環させるように構成してもよい。   In addition, an electrolyte outlet is separately provided at the bottom of the separation tank for circulation of the electrolytic tank, and the electrolytic solution cooled to an appropriate temperature remaining in the separation tank is discharged from the electrolyte outlet by an electrolyte circulation pump. On the other hand, the electrolytic solution taken out from a separately provided outlet is circulated to the separation tank via the cooling electrolyte inlet by a circulation pump 44 provided independently of the electrolytic forced cooling device. It may be configured.

このように構成された水電解ガス発生装置は、効率よく持続的に水電解ガスを発生させ、生成された水電解ガスは分離槽の上端に配設されたガス取出し口45から水電解ガス供給手段12を介して混合槽11内へ加圧導入される。水電解ガス発生装置30、ガスボンベ40から加圧導入される水電解ガスおよび気体化石燃料は、多数の気泡状で混合槽内に供給され、これらの気泡が先ず最下段の仕切板51の下面側に多数集合して気泡集合体を形成し混合が継続して実行される。所定時間が経過すると当該気泡集合体は破壊され微細気泡となり、仕切板51に形成された細孔を通過して仕切板52の下面側に気泡が集合し混合を実行する。その後当該気泡集合体が破壊され微細気泡となり、同様にして仕切板53の下面側に集合して混合を実行する。このように集合、混合を繰り返し実行することにより水電解ガス混合燃料が生成され、水電解ガス混合燃料排出手段14から燃料使用装置60に供給される。   The water electrolysis gas generator configured as described above generates water electrolysis gas efficiently and continuously, and the generated water electrolysis gas is supplied from the gas outlet 45 disposed at the upper end of the separation tank. Pressure is introduced into the mixing tank 11 through the means 12. The water electrolysis gas and the gas fossil fuel introduced under pressure from the water electrolysis gas generator 30 and the gas cylinder 40 are supplied into the mixing tank in the form of a number of bubbles, and these bubbles are first on the lower surface side of the lowermost partition plate 51. The bubbles are aggregated to form a bubble aggregate, and mixing is continuously performed. When a predetermined time elapses, the bubble aggregate is broken to become fine bubbles, passes through the pores formed in the partition plate 51, and bubbles gather on the lower surface side of the partition plate 52 to perform mixing. Thereafter, the bubble aggregate is broken to become fine bubbles, and gathers on the lower surface side of the partition plate 53 in the same manner to perform mixing. Thus, by repeatedly performing the collection and mixing, the water electrolysis gas mixed fuel is generated and supplied from the water electrolysis gas mixed fuel discharging means 14 to the fuel use device 60.

This is a picture of the situation. These photographs were taken by Toshihiko Sato, who lives in 1544-1 Moro Hongo, Moroyama-cho, Iruma-gun, Saitama Prefecture. The date of photography is January 18, 2008. 6 and 7, a combustion burner 60 that blows out a flame, a water-electrolyzed gas mixed fuel generating device 10, a water-electrolytic gas generating device 30, and a control device 20 are shown in order from the left side. In addition, since the LPG cylinder 40 as a fossil fuel supply apparatus used here is installed outdoors, it is not shown in these drawings.

上述したような実証装置における水電解ガス混合燃料の生成装置の構成は、混合槽内部にガソリンを充填し、当該混合槽内に、吊下げ部及び3段の仕切板をステンレス製連結棒により固定して取付けられた可動構造に構成した昇降可動部を配設し、最下段の仕切板を厚さ1.5mm程度のステンレス製板に径が1.5mm程度の細孔を形成したものとし、その上方の仕切板をステンレス製のメッシュ構造体に径が0.5mm程度の細孔を形成したものとした。   The configuration of the water electrolysis gas mixed fuel generation device in the demonstration apparatus as described above is such that gasoline is filled in the mixing tank, and the suspension part and the three-stage partition plate are fixed in the mixing tank by a stainless connecting rod. Ascending and descending movable parts configured in a movable structure attached as described above are disposed, and the bottom partition plate is formed of a stainless steel plate having a thickness of about 1.5 mm with a pore having a diameter of about 1.5 mm, The upper partition plate was formed by forming pores having a diameter of about 0.5 mm in a stainless steel mesh structure.

このような構成の実証装置の混合槽の底部から水電解ガス発生装置により生成される水電解ガスと、設定圧を0.1MPa程度としたLPガスボンベからのLPガスとを供給して実験を試みた。ここで、水電解ガス発生装置では水酸化カリウム電解液を使用して水電解ガスを生成し、混合槽に導入される水電解ガスとLPGとはニードルバルブにより供給量の微細調節が可能であるように構成した。また、水電解ガス混合燃料ガスを燃焼させる付加装置としては、業務用暖房機器などに使用されるフルタエンネツ株式会社製の大型暖房機用のLPG燃焼バーナー、型式ELGU150を使用した。このバーナーのLPG定格消費量は約毎時2.4m3である。 An experiment was attempted by supplying water electrolysis gas generated by the water electrolysis gas generator from the bottom of the mixing tank of the demonstration apparatus having such a configuration and LP gas from an LP gas cylinder having a set pressure of about 0.1 MPa. It was. Here, in the water electrolysis gas generator, a water electrolysis gas is generated using a potassium hydroxide electrolyte, and the water electrolysis gas and LPG introduced into the mixing tank can be finely adjusted by a needle valve. It was configured as follows. Further, as an additional device for burning the water-electrolyzed gas mixed fuel gas, an LPG combustion burner for large-sized heaters used for commercial heating equipment and the like, model ELGU150 was used. The burner has an LPG rated consumption of about 2.4 m 3 per hour.

実験は、関東地方(埼玉県)に所在する、床面積約180m2、亜鉛メッキ鋼板葺き、平均天井高さ約5m、の実験棟において、上述したような構成の実証装置を運転し、設定温度20℃、1時間単位でそれぞれ数回の実験を行った。実証装置を作動させて、水電解ガスとLPガスの混合槽への供給を開始して約15分経過後に、水電解ガス発生装置の運転が停止して水電解ガスの導入が停止しLPガスの導入も停止したが、水電解ガス混合燃料ガスの燃焼状態に変化は見られなかった。それから約15分経過後に、水電解ガス発生装置の運転が再作動して水電解ガスの混合槽への導入が開始(再開)されLPガスの導入も開始(再開)された。この実験においてこのような停止、開始(再開)動作が間欠的に繰り返し行なわれた。 The experiment was conducted in the Kanto region (Saitama Prefecture) where the floor area of about 180m 2 , galvanized steel sheet, and average ceiling height of about 5m were operated with the demonstration system configured as described above. Several experiments were performed at 20 ° C. for 1 hour. About 15 minutes after starting the demonstration device and supplying the water electrolysis gas and LP gas to the mixing tank, the operation of the water electrolysis gas generator is stopped and the introduction of the water electrolysis gas is stopped. However, no change was seen in the combustion state of the water electrolysis gas mixture fuel gas. After about 15 minutes, the operation of the water electrolysis gas generator was restarted, the introduction of water electrolysis gas into the mixing tank was started (restarted), and the introduction of LP gas was also started (restart). In this experiment, such a stop and start (restart) operation was repeated intermittently.

実験1:2008年1月18日、天候:曇り、外気温3.2℃、開始前室温2.5℃
実験2:2008年1月19日、天候:晴れ、外気温0.5℃、開始前室温−0.2℃
暖房機噴出し温度45度、設定室温20℃として各々1時間にわたり装置を運転した。両実験共に、測定値;LPGの平均消費量0.71m3/hで、室温18.5〜20℃に上昇したことが確認できた。
この場合におけるLPG平均消費量0.71m3/hは、燃焼バーナーのLPG定格消費量の約40%にすぎない。また、かかる実験の間にわたり混合槽内に充填されているガソリンの量は液面計で確認して僅かに減少したに過ぎなかった。なお、実験に伴って水電解が行なわれているため、数kWhの電力と若干の補給水を要したものの、化石燃料の消費量低減割合からみれば僅少なものであることが確認された。
Experiment 1: January 18, 2008, Weather: Cloudy, outside temperature 3.2 ° C, room temperature 2.5 ° C before start
Experiment 2: January 19, 2008, Weather: Sunny, outside temperature 0.5 ° C, room temperature before start -0.2 ° C
The apparatus was operated for 1 hour each at a heater ejection temperature of 45 ° C and a set room temperature of 20 ° C. In both experiments, it was confirmed that the measured value; the average consumption of LPG was 0.71 m 3 / h, and the temperature rose to 18.5 to 20 ° C.
The average LPG consumption 0.71 m 3 / h in this case is only about 40% of the LPG rated consumption of the combustion burner. In addition, the amount of gasoline charged in the mixing tank during the experiment was only slightly decreased as confirmed by a level gauge. In addition, since water electrolysis was carried out in connection with the experiment, it was confirmed that although several kWh of electric power and a slight amount of make-up water were required, the amount of fossil fuel consumption was very small.

また、本発明によって得られる燃料の燃焼排気ガス中の二酸化炭素(CO2)の濃度は5.4%であり、A重油の10.7%、LPGの11.63%と比較して極めて低いことが確認された。本発明によって得られる燃料の燃焼排気ガス中の窒素酸化物(NOX)の濃度は39ppmであり、A重油の79ppmと比較して極めて低いことが確認された。本発明によって得られる燃料の燃焼温度は1,010℃であり、A重油の740℃と比較して高温であることが確認された。   Further, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the combustion exhaust gas of the fuel obtained by the present invention is 5.4%, which is extremely low compared to 10.7% for heavy fuel oil A and 11.63% for LPG. Was confirmed. The concentration of nitrogen oxide (NOX) in the combustion exhaust gas of the fuel obtained by the present invention was 39 ppm, which was confirmed to be extremely low as compared with 79 ppm of A heavy oil. The combustion temperature of the fuel obtained by the present invention was 1,010 ° C., which was confirmed to be higher than that of 740 ° C. of A heavy oil.

本発明に係る水電解ガス混合燃料の生成装置は、昇降可動部の上昇又は下降の変位あるいは混合槽の内圧の変化を検知して、水電解ガス及び気体化石燃料の混合槽内への供給を停止するように制御されるので、本発明により生成された水電解ガス混合燃料を従来のLPG等を燃焼させる暖房用バーナーにより燃焼させた場合、LPGのみの燃焼と同等の熱量を得るためのLPGの消費量は約40%程度で足り、また一定条件下において水電解ガスの供給も停止されるので水電解ガス発生装置を稼働させるための電力消費量も低減される。   The water electrolysis gas mixed fuel generating apparatus according to the present invention detects the displacement of the ascending / descending movable portion ascending or descending or the change in the internal pressure of the mixing tank, and supplies the water electrolysis gas and the gas fossil fuel into the mixing tank. Since it is controlled to stop, when the water electrolysis gas mixed fuel generated according to the present invention is burned by a heating burner that burns conventional LPG or the like, LPG for obtaining the same amount of heat as combustion of only LPG About 40% is sufficient, and since the supply of water electrolysis gas is stopped under certain conditions, the power consumption for operating the water electrolysis gas generator is also reduced.

本発明に係る水電解ガス混合燃料の生成装置により生成される水電解ガス混合燃料は、元来の化石燃料自体の燃焼よりも強力な発熱が得られ、燃焼に伴う不純物もほとんど生じない。したがって、燃焼効率も大幅に向上するため、当然に化石燃料の消費量を低減することに繋がり、燃焼に伴う二酸化炭素排出量も大幅に低減されることになる。このような混成複合ガスは水電解によって得られるもので、初期設備投資を除けば水電解のための電力量が主たるコストであるから、その上昇分は僅少である。   The water electrolyzed gas mixed fuel produced by the water electrolyzed gas mixed fuel producing apparatus according to the present invention can generate heat more strongly than the original combustion of the fossil fuel itself, and hardly generate impurities accompanying the combustion. Therefore, the combustion efficiency is also greatly improved, so that naturally the consumption of fossil fuel is reduced, and the carbon dioxide emission accompanying combustion is also greatly reduced. Such a hybrid composite gas is obtained by water electrolysis, and the amount of electric power for water electrolysis is the main cost except for the initial capital investment, so the increase is small.

また、通常のバーナーのような展開された部位での直接燃焼装置に限らず、液体燃料ないし気体燃料を密閉空間で爆発的に燃焼させる内燃機関、ジェットエンジンはもとより、液体、気体、固体燃料を使用する発電用その他大型ボイラ等においてそれぞれの燃料に添加供給ないし燃焼室等に噴射することにより従来よりも強力な出力を得ることが期待できる。換言すれば、従来よりも大幅に低減された燃料費によってより強力な熱エネルギー出力が得られることになり、大幅な費用節減が期待できる。したがって、大きな省エネルギー効果が得られ、反射的に二酸化炭素排出量も大幅に低減され、地球温暖化対策としても極めて大きな効果を発揮することが期待できる。また地球規模で埋蔵量が有限である化石燃料の有効利用につながり、各資源の利用期間を延長することも可能となる。   Moreover, not only a direct combustion device at a developed part such as a normal burner, but also an internal combustion engine and a jet engine that explosively burn liquid fuel or gaseous fuel in a sealed space, liquid, gaseous, solid fuel can be used. In other large boilers for power generation to be used, it is expected that a stronger output than before can be obtained by adding and supplying each fuel or injecting it into the combustion chamber. In other words, a more powerful thermal energy output can be obtained with a fuel cost that is significantly reduced as compared with the prior art, and a significant cost saving can be expected. Therefore, a large energy saving effect can be obtained, and the amount of carbon dioxide emission can be significantly reduced in a reflective manner, so that it can be expected to exert an extremely large effect as a countermeasure against global warming. Moreover, it leads to effective use of fossil fuels with limited reserves on a global scale, and it is possible to extend the use period of each resource.
