Description
本発明は、酸素水素共存ガス体の燃料用途に関するものであり、特に、特定の酸素水素共存ガス体を用いた燃料及びその使用方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a fuel application of an oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body, and particularly to a fuel using a specific oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body and a method for using the same.
近年、地球温暖化の抑制及びそれによる地球環境保護の観点から、二酸化炭素（ＣＯ２）の排出量の削減が要請されている。このような要請に応えるために、燃料の分野においても、化石燃料のような炭化水素系のものではない非炭化水素系のものが注目されている。 In recent years, reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions has been demanded from the viewpoint of suppressing global warming and thereby protecting the global environment. In order to meet such demands, non-hydrocarbon-based materials that are not hydrocarbon-based materials such as fossil fuels are also attracting attention in the field of fuels.
非炭化水素系の燃料の１つとして水の電気分解により得られる所謂ブラウンガスを利用することが考えられる。ブラウンガスを燃料用途に実用化する場合には圧縮保存することが極めて好ましいのであるが、ブラウンガスは、とくに加圧すると爆発しやすく取り扱いの極めて難しいものであるという難点があり、燃料としての実用において安全性の点で充分とはいえない。たとえば日本においては、水素に２％以上の酸素を混合したガス体を１ＭＰａ以上に圧縮することを禁止する法令がある。 It is conceivable to use a so-called Brown gas obtained by electrolysis of water as one of non-hydrocarbon fuels. When brown gas is put to practical use as a fuel, it is highly preferable to store it under compression. However, brown gas has a drawback that it is easy to explode when pressed and is extremely difficult to handle. However, it is not sufficient in terms of safety. For example, in Japan, there is a law that prohibits the compression of a gas body in which 2% or more of oxygen is mixed with hydrogen to 1 MPa or more.
また、非炭化水素系の燃料の他の１つとして、特許第３９７５４６７号公報（特許文献１）、特許第４０７６９５３号公報（特許文献２）及び特許第４５９９３８７号公報（特許文献３）に記載されているような、振動攪拌（振動流動攪拌）を併用した水の電気分解により得られる水素−酸素ガスからなるものが挙げられる。この水素−酸素ガスは、本発明者の発明に係るものであり、ＯＨＭＡＳＡ−ＧＡＳとして知られている。ＯＨＭＡＳＡ−ＧＡＳは、通常の一般的なブラウンガスとは異なり、特徴的で多様な結合形態にて水素および酸素が共存する酸素水素共存ガス体であり、高圧縮下でも爆発しにくく、安全性が高い。 As another non-hydrocarbon fuel, it is described in Japanese Patent No. 3975467 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent No. 4076953 (Patent Document 2) and Japanese Patent No. 4599387 (Patent Document 3). As shown in FIG. 1, there are those composed of hydrogen-oxygen gas obtained by electrolysis of water in combination with vibration agitation (vibration flow agitation). This hydrogen-oxygen gas is related to the inventors' invention and is known as OHMASA-GAS. OHMASA-GAS is an oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body in which hydrogen and oxygen coexist in characteristic and various bonding forms, unlike ordinary brown gas, and it is difficult to explode even under high compression and has safety. high.
一方、現在、自動車の内燃エンジンにおいてガソリンや軽油などの炭化水素系燃料を燃焼させることで発生する一酸化炭素（ＣＯ）や炭化水素（ＨＣ）の排出量を低減するために、自動車には触媒を用いた排ガス処理装置が搭載されている。この排ガス処理装置に使用される触媒は、パラジウム、ロジウム及び白金などの高価な材料を含むものであり、これらの高価な材料が年間２００トン以上も使用されている。このような排ガス処理装置の価格は自動車価格の１０％程度といわれている。そこで、自動車価格を低減させる観点から及び省資源の観点から、一酸化炭素や炭化水素の排出量が少なく、排ガス処理装置が不要となるような燃料の出現が望まれる。 On the other hand, in order to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) generated by burning hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline and light oil in an internal combustion engine of automobiles, automobiles are currently equipped with a catalyst. An exhaust gas treatment device using is installed. The catalyst used in this exhaust gas treatment apparatus contains expensive materials such as palladium, rhodium and platinum, and these expensive materials are used in an amount of 200 tons or more per year. The price of such an exhaust gas treatment device is said to be about 10% of the automobile price. Therefore, from the viewpoint of reducing the price of automobiles and from the viewpoint of resource saving, the appearance of fuel that emits less carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and does not require an exhaust gas treatment device is desired.
ところで、以上のようなＯＨＭＡＳＡ−ＧＡＳを燃料として使用する場合において、現在市販されている一般的な燃焼機器をそのまま用いることが、経済性の観点から極めて好ましい。 By the way, when using the above-mentioned OHMASA-GAS as a fuel, it is very preferable from the viewpoint of economy to use a general combustion device currently on the market as it is.
しかしながら、一般的な燃焼機器、たとえば乗物用内燃エンジン、発電機用内燃エンジン、燃料電池、ボイラー用バーナー、溶接機用バーナー及び調理器用バーナーなどにおいて、燃料としてＯＨＭＡＳＡ−ＧＡＳを使用した場合に、得られる出力または安全性において未だ改善の余地のあることが分かった。 However, in general combustion equipment such as a vehicle internal combustion engine, a generator internal combustion engine, a fuel cell, a boiler burner, a welder burner, and a cooker burner, etc., it is obtained when OHMAS-GAS is used as a fuel. It has been found that there is still room for improvement in output and safety.
そこで、本発明は、特定の酸素水素共存ガス体であるＯＨＭＡＳＡ−ＧＡＳを燃料に適用するに際して、一般的な燃焼機器での使用に際しても、出力向上が可能で、安全性が高く、二酸化炭素、一酸化炭素や炭化水素の排出量の削減が可能な、改良された燃料を提供することを目的とするものである。 Therefore, the present invention is able to improve the output and use high safety, when using OHMASA-GAS, which is a specific oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body, as a fuel, even when used in general combustion equipment. An object of the present invention is to provide an improved fuel capable of reducing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions.
また、本発明の他の目的は、そのような燃料の使用方法即ち燃焼方法を提供することにある。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for using such fuel, that is, a combustion method.

For example, water containing 5 to 30% by weight of electrolyte is used as the water to be treated, and the electrode group is spaced 3 to 10 mm apart. Can be used in an electrolytic cell while maintaining a current density of 5 to 20 A / dm 2 , a bath temperature of 20 to 70 ° C., and a strong alkali.
電解質としてはとくに制限はないが、たとえば、ＮａＯＨ、ＫＯＨなどを挙げることができる。また、これらの電解質を溶解して電解液を作るのに用いる水としては、どのような水でもよいが、たとえば、イオン交換水か蒸留水を用いる。電解液における電解質の濃度については、とくに制限はないが、一般に３０重量％以下、好ましくは２５重量％以下であり、１５〜２５重量％程度が最も好ましい。電解質が５重量％より少ないと電流の流れが少なくなり抵抗が増大し、電流効率が低下しさらに温度上昇を引き起こし酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の発生量の低下をさらに招くことがある。又、３０重量％より多すぎると極板に電解質が析出し結果として電解効率が低下することがある。 Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular as electrolyte, For example, NaOH, KOH etc. can be mentioned. The water used to dissolve these electrolytes to make an electrolytic solution may be any water, but for example, ion exchange water or distilled water is used. Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular about the density | concentration of the electrolyte in electrolyte solution, Generally it is 30 weight% or less, Preferably it is 25 weight% or less, About 15-25 weight% is the most preferable. If the electrolyte is less than 5% by weight, the current flow is reduced, the resistance is increased, the current efficiency is lowered, the temperature is further increased, and the generation amount of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) may be further reduced. On the other hand, if it is more than 30% by weight, an electrolyte may be deposited on the electrode plate, resulting in a decrease in electrolysis efficiency.
電流密度を上げれば電解効率が上がり、好ましい面もあるが同時に浴温上昇を招き、逆に酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の発生量が低下することがある。多くの実験結果から、たとえば５〜２０Ａ／ｄｍ２の範囲が総合的にみて好適であると考えられる。 Increasing the current density increases the electrolysis efficiency and has a favorable aspect, but at the same time increases the bath temperature, and conversely, the generation amount of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) may decrease. From many experimental results, for example, a range of 5 to 20 A / dm 2 is considered to be preferable from a comprehensive viewpoint.
浴温は長時間の運転、発生量、電解効率等を考慮し、多くの実験結果から、たとえば２０〜７０℃の範囲が好適である。 The bath temperature is preferably in the range of 20 to 70 ° C., for example, from many experimental results in consideration of long-time operation, generation amount, electrolysis efficiency, and the like.
ｐＨは、使用する電解質により左右される。好ましいｐＨ値は電解質、電流密度、浴温と相関関係にある。使用する電解質、電流密度、浴温等を各種条件で実験を重ねた結果、たとえばｐＨ１４以上の強アルカリ下において、効率が良い結果が得られている。 The pH depends on the electrolyte used. The preferred pH value correlates with electrolyte, current density and bath temperature. As a result of repeated experiments under various conditions such as the electrolyte to be used, current density, bath temperature, etc., for example, a highly efficient result is obtained under a strong alkali of pH 14 or higher.
好ましくは電極群を構成する電極を一定の間隔に保つが、この間隔は３〜１０ｍｍ、好ましくは３〜５ｍｍである。なお、電極群を構成する電極の数は、好ましくは４枚以上１０００枚以下である。 The electrodes constituting the electrode group are preferably kept at a constant interval, and this interval is 3 to 10 mm, preferably 3 to 5 mm. The number of electrodes constituting the electrode group is preferably 4 or more and 1000 or less.
以上のような酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）としては、たとえば水素ガス、プロパンガス、天然ガス、又は都市ガスなどの通常の燃料ガスが例示される。可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）としてプロパンガス、天然ガス又は都市ガスなどの炭化水素系ガスを用いたものでは、本発明の燃料の燃焼により二酸化炭素、一酸化炭素又は炭化水素が発生するが、その量はこれら炭化水素系ガスのみからなる燃料の場合に比べて、十分に少ない。燃焼による二酸化炭素、一酸化炭素又は炭化水素の発生量を低減させる観点からは、可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）として水素ガスなどの非炭化水素系ガスを用いるのが好ましい。 Examples of the combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body as described above include normal fuel gas such as hydrogen gas, propane gas, natural gas, or city gas. In the case of using a hydrocarbon gas such as propane gas, natural gas or city gas as the combustible gas body (B), carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons are generated by combustion of the fuel of the present invention. The amount is sufficiently small as compared with the case of fuel consisting only of these hydrocarbon gases. From the viewpoint of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or hydrocarbon generated by combustion, it is preferable to use a non-hydrocarbon gas such as hydrogen gas as the combustible gas body (B).
本発明の燃料を構成する混合ガスは、好ましくは、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の含有率が４０〜９５容量％であり、酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）の含有率が５〜６０容量％である。但し、本発明は、この割合に限定されるものではない。本発明の燃料を構成する混合ガスは、たとえば、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の含有率が５〜６０容量％であり、酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）の含有率が４０〜９５容量％であっても良い。この後者の燃料は、酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）としてガソリン、軽油あるいは重油などを使用する場合への適用が好ましい。この場合、気液混合ノズルを使用して混合効果を上げるのが好ましい。 The mixed gas constituting the fuel of the present invention preferably has an oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) content of 40 to 95% by volume, and contains a combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body. The rate is 5-60% by volume. However, the present invention is not limited to this ratio. In the mixed gas constituting the fuel of the present invention, for example, the content of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) is 5 to 60% by volume, and the content of the combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body May be 40 to 95% by volume. This latter fuel is preferably applied when gasoline, light oil, heavy oil or the like is used as the combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body. In this case, it is preferable to increase the mixing effect using a gas-liquid mixing nozzle.
酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）に可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）を加えた混合ガスを燃料とすることで、乗物用内燃エンジン、発電機用内燃エンジン、燃料電池、ボイラー用バーナー、溶接機用バーナー及び調理器用バーナーなどの一般的な燃焼機器での使用に際して、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）のみからなる燃料に比べて、出力向上が可能となり、又は安全性が高められる。その理由は、次のようなものであろうと推測される。 Combustion gas body (B) and flammable gas body (B) are used as fuel to produce an internal combustion engine for vehicles, an internal combustion engine for generators, a fuel cell, a burner for boilers, and a burner for welding machines In addition, when used in a general combustion device such as a burner for a cooker, the output can be improved or the safety can be improved as compared with the fuel composed only of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A). The reason is assumed to be as follows.
すなわち、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）のみからなる燃料の場合には、外部からの空気導入のない特殊な条件下での燃焼により、良好な出力発生及び安全性が得られる。しかし、そのような特殊な条件下での専用の燃焼機器を開発するには、膨大なコスト及び時間がかかるという難点がある。一方、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）のみからなる燃料を一般的な燃焼機器において使用する場合には、機器の排気口その他から空気中の酸素が不可避的に燃焼部に流入する。この空気中の酸素が酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）中の水素と反応を起こし、この反応は空気中の酸素の侵入が無い場合に比べて酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）に起こる酸素と水素との反応と機序が異なることから、燃焼により発生する出力に影響を与え、また爆発発生の可能性が高まる。これに対して、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）に可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）を加えた混合ガスを燃料とすることで、燃焼機器の排気口その他から不可避的に燃焼部に流入する空気中の酸素は可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）と反応し、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の酸素と水素との本来の反応に対する影響が少ないことから、出力向上が可能となり、又は爆発発生の可能性が低下して安全性が高められるものである。 That is, in the case of a fuel consisting only of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A), good output generation and safety can be obtained by combustion under special conditions without introducing air from the outside. However, there is a problem that it takes enormous cost and time to develop a dedicated combustion device under such special conditions. On the other hand, when a fuel consisting only of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) is used in a general combustion device, oxygen in the air inevitably flows into the combustion section from the exhaust port of the device. The oxygen in the air reacts with hydrogen in the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A), and this reaction occurs in the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) as compared with the case where oxygen in the air does not enter. The reaction and mechanism differ from the above, which affects the output generated by combustion and increases the possibility of explosion. On the other hand, by using as a fuel a mixed gas obtained by adding a combustible gas body (B) to an oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A), in the air that inevitably flows into the combustion section from the exhaust port of the combustion equipment. Oxygen reacts with the combustible gas body (B) and has little influence on the original reaction between oxygen and hydrogen in the oxygen-hydrogen coexistence gas body (A), so output can be improved or explosion may occur. Is lowered and safety is improved.
以上のような酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスは、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）単独の場合と同様に、圧縮することができ、容器内に加圧密封することができる。これにより、可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）の少なくとも一部を液化状態にすることができる。 The mixed gas comprising the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) as described above can be compressed as in the case of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) alone, It can be pressure sealed in the container. Thereby, at least one part of combustible gas body (B) can be made into a liquefied state.
即ち、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスは、たとえば３〜３００ｋｇｆ／ｃｍ２に圧縮することができる。酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスの圧力を３〜３００ｋｇｆ／ｃｍ２に高圧縮することにより少なくとも一部を液化することで貯蔵装置（タンク、ボンベなど）の小型化が可能となり、搬送、搭載が容易に行える。また、この３〜３００ｋｇｆ／ｃｍ２の圧縮圧力範囲が、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスの燃料としての実用化に適している。 That is, the mixed gas comprising the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) can be compressed to, for example, 3 to 300 kgf / cm 2 . A storage device (tank) is obtained by liquefying at least partly by highly compressing the pressure of the mixed gas comprising the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) to 3 to 300 kgf / cm 2. , Cylinders, etc.) can be miniaturized and can be easily transported and mounted. Also, the compression pressure range of 3 to 300 kgf / cm 2 is suitable for practical use as a mixed gas fuel containing the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B).
また、通常の電気分解により得られた水素は、金属ボンベ（たとえばステンレススチール製、鋼鉄製、鋳鉄製、アルミニウム合金製などのボンベ）内に貯蔵する際に、水素によりボンベ自体が脆化したり、水素が金属ボンベを透過して離脱するので、長期保管が不可能であるが、可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）として水素ガスを用いた上記酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスでは、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）が存在することで、該酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）単独の場合と同様に、高圧で圧縮できる（２００ｋｇｆ／ｃｍ２：２０ＭＰａまで爆発せずに圧縮できた）ばかりでなく、ステンレススチール製ボンベに圧縮保管された１０ＭＰａの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスは２年間という長期間保存しても全く何の水素漏洩もなく又、圧力も当初の１０ＭＰａを保っていた。 In addition, when hydrogen obtained by normal electrolysis is stored in a metal cylinder (for example, a cylinder made of stainless steel, steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, etc.), the cylinder itself becomes brittle by hydrogen, Since hydrogen permeates through the metal cylinder and leaves, long-term storage is impossible. However, the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) using hydrogen gas as the combustible gas body (B) (B) ), The presence of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) enables compression at a high pressure as in the case of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) alone (200 kgf / cm 2 : Gas mixture containing 10 MPa oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and combustible gas body (B) compressed and stored in a stainless steel cylinder. Also completely without any hydrogen leakage even when stored for a long period of 2 years, pressure was also kept the original of 10MPa.
以上のような酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスは、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを、燃焼機器内において混合することで得るようにしてもよい。その場合の燃焼においても、上記のような出力向上が可能となり、又は爆発発生の可能性がなくなり安全性が高められる。 The mixed gas comprising the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) as described above is a combustible gas body other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body ( B) may be obtained by mixing in the combustion equipment. Also in the combustion in that case, the output can be improved as described above, or the possibility of explosion is eliminated and the safety is improved.
このような例としては、とくに自動車の内燃エンジンでの燃料の燃焼が挙げられる。この場合、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスは、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の含有率が５〜６０容量％であり、可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）の含有率が４０〜９５容量％であるものとすることができる。また、可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）としてガソリン、軽油、又は重油からなるものを使用することができ、これらの可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）を、酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と共に、気液混合ノズルを用いて燃焼機器（内燃エンジンのシリンダ）内へと噴射することができる。 An example of this is the combustion of fuel, particularly in an internal combustion engine of an automobile. In this case, the mixed gas containing the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) has an oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) content of 5 to 60% by volume, and is combustible. The content rate of a gas body (B) shall be 40-95 volume%. Moreover, what consists of gasoline, light oil, or heavy oil can be used as a combustible gas body (B), and these flammable gas bodies (B) are gas-liquid mixed with an oxygen hydrogen coexistence gas body (A). It can be injected into the combustion equipment (cylinder of an internal combustion engine) using a nozzle.
本発明の燃料を使用する方法すなわち燃焼方法の第１の実施形態としては、以上のように作製し容器に密封された酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスを容器から取り出し、この酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを含んでなる混合ガスを燃焼機器に供給し、該燃焼機器により燃焼させることが挙げられる。 The first embodiment of the method of using the fuel of the present invention, that is, the combustion method, includes the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) produced as described above and sealed in a container. The mixed gas consisting of the above is taken out from the container, and the mixed gas containing the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the combustible gas body (B) is supplied to the combustion equipment and burned by the combustion equipment. .
また、本発明の燃料を使用する方法すなわち燃焼方法の第２の実施形態としては、別々の容器に密封されている酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）と酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）とを別々に燃焼機器に供給し互いに混合させた後に、前記燃焼機器により燃焼させることが挙げられる。 Further, as a second embodiment of the method of using the fuel of the present invention, that is, the combustion method, a combustible gas body other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body sealed in separate containers is used. (B) may be separately supplied to a combustion device and mixed with each other, and then burned by the combustion device.

[Example 19]
50 parts by volume of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 and 50 parts by volume of commercially available propane gas as a combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body are mixed. As a result, a mixed gas was obtained. Using this mixed gas as fuel, power generation was performed with a (specification) generator for propane gas (manufactured by WINCO INC. (USA), HPS 12000HE, rated output 12 kW). The air mixing conditions were the same as those for propane gas combustion.
この実施例では、特に、以下のように運転条件を変えて、燃料消費量および製造コストの比較を行った。 In this example, the operating conditions were changed as follows, and the fuel consumption and the manufacturing cost were compared.
（１９Ａ）先ず、無負荷運転を３回行った。３回の運転の平均値として、１時間あたり、燃料消費量が１４００Ｌであった。このときの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の消費量は、消費混合ガス量の５０％であることから、７００Ｌ（＝１４００Ｌ／２）となる。１ＫＷの電気量で酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）３００Ｌを製造することができるので、７００Ｌの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）を製造するに要した電気量は約２．４ＫＷ（＝７００Ｌ／３００Ｌ／ＫＷ）である。発電量のうちの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の寄与分は、燃料中の酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の量比が５０％であることから、６ＫＷ（１２ＫＷ／２）である。 (19A) First, no-load operation was performed three times. As an average value of the three operations, the fuel consumption was 1400 L per hour. Since the consumption amount of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) at this time is 50% of the consumed mixed gas amount, it becomes 700 L (= 1400 L / 2). Since 300 L of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) can be produced with a quantity of electricity of 1 KW, the quantity of electricity required to produce 700 L of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) is about 2.4 KW (= 700 L / 300 L). / KW). The contribution of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) in the power generation amount is 6 KW (12 KW / 2) since the amount ratio of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) in the fuel is 50%.
従って、約２．４ＫＷの電気量で製造された量の酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）により、６ＫＷの発電すなわち入力電気量の約２．５倍（＝６ＫＷ／２．４ＫＷ）の量のエネルギーが得られたことになる。 Therefore, by the amount of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) produced with the electricity quantity of about 2.4 KW, the energy of 6 KW power generation, that is, about 2.5 times the input electricity quantity (= 6 KW / 2.4 KW). Is obtained.
（１９Ｂ）次に、負荷６ＫＷで運転を３回行った。３回の運転の平均値として、１時間あたり、燃料消費量が１９００Ｌであった。このときの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の消費量は、消費混合ガス量の５０％であることから、９５０Ｌ（＝１９００Ｌ／２）となる。１ＫＷの電気量で酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）３００Ｌを製造することができるので、９５０Ｌの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）を製造するに要した電気量は約３．２ＫＷ（＝９５０Ｌ／３００Ｌ／ＫＷ）である。発電量のうちの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の寄与分は、燃料中の酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の量比が５０％であることから、６ＫＷ（１２ＫＷ／２）である。 (19B) Next, operation was performed three times with a load of 6 KW. As an average value of three operations, the fuel consumption per hour was 1900L. Since the consumption amount of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) at this time is 50% of the consumed mixed gas amount, it becomes 950 L (= 1900 L / 2). Since 300 L of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) can be produced with a quantity of electricity of 1 KW, the quantity of electricity required to produce a 950 L oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) is about 3.2 KW (= 950 L / 300 L). / KW). The contribution of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) in the power generation amount is 6 KW (12 KW / 2) since the amount ratio of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) in the fuel is 50%.
従って、約３．２ＫＷの電気量で製造された量の酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）により、６ＫＷの発電すなわち入力電気量の約１．９倍（＝６ＫＷ／３．２ＫＷ）の量のエネルギーが得られたことになる。 Therefore, by the amount of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) produced with the amount of electricity of about 3.2 KW, the energy of about 1.9 times (= 6 KW / 3.2 KW) of power generation of 6 KW, that is, the amount of input electricity. Is obtained.
（１９Ｃ）更に、負荷１２ＫＷで運転を３回行った。３回の運転の平均値として、１時間あたり、燃料消費量が２１００Ｌであった。このときの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の消費量は、消費混合ガス量の５０％であることから、１０５０Ｌ（＝２１００Ｌ／２）となる。１ＫＷの電気量で酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）３００Ｌを製造することができるので、１０５０Ｌの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）を製造するに要した電気量は約３．５ＫＷ（＝１０５０Ｌ／３００Ｌ／ＫＷ）である。発電量のうちの酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の寄与分は、燃料中の酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）の量比が５０％であることから、６ＫＷ（１２ＫＷ／２）である。 (19C) Further, the operation was performed three times with a load of 12 KW. As an average value of the three operations, the fuel consumption was 2100 L per hour. Since the consumption amount of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) at this time is 50% of the consumption mixed gas amount, it is 1050 L (= 2100 L / 2). Since 300 L of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) can be produced with an electric quantity of 1 KW, the quantity of electricity required to produce 1050 L of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) is about 3.5 kW (= 1050 L / 300 L). / KW). The contribution of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) in the power generation amount is 6 KW (12 KW / 2) since the amount ratio of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) in the fuel is 50%.
従って、約３．５ＫＷの電気量で製造された量の酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）により、６ＫＷの発電すなわち入力電気量の約１．７倍（＝６ＫＷ／３．５ＫＷ）の量のエネルギーが得られたことになる。 Therefore, by the amount of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) produced with the amount of electricity of about 3.5 KW, the energy of 6 KW power generation, that is, about 1.7 times the amount of input electricity (= 6 KW / 3.5 KW) Is obtained.
酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）４０容量部と該酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）としての市販のプロパンガス６０容量部とを混合して得られた混合ガスを燃料として用いた場合も、ほぼ同様の結果が得られた。 A mixed gas obtained by mixing 40 parts by volume of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and 60 parts by volume of commercially available propane gas as a combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body is used as fuel. Almost the same result was obtained.

実施例１と同様にして得られた酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）５０容量部と、該酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）としての市販の天然ガス５０容量部とを混合して混合ガスを得た。この混合ガスを燃料として用いて、市販の燃料電池標準セルを作動させ発電したところ、水素ガスのみを燃料として用いた場合と同等の起電力を得ることができた。
[Example 23]
50 parts by volume of the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 and 50 parts by volume of commercially available natural gas as a combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body are mixed. As a result, a mixed gas was obtained. When this mixed gas was used as fuel and a commercially available fuel cell standard cell was operated to generate electric power, an electromotive force equivalent to that obtained when only hydrogen gas was used as fuel could be obtained.
酸素水素共存ガス体（Ａ）４０容量部と該酸素水素共存ガス体以外の可燃性ガス体（Ｂ）としての市販の天然ガス６０容量部とを混合して得られた混合ガスを燃料として用いた場合も、ほぼ同様の結果が得られた。 A mixed gas obtained by mixing 40 parts by volume of oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body (A) and 60 parts by volume of commercially available natural gas as a combustible gas body (B) other than the oxygen-hydrogen coexisting gas body is used as fuel. Almost the same result was obtained.
