Description

연료전지차량에서 누출된 수소를 이용한 발전장치{Alternator using a leak-out hydrogen gas}Alternator using a leak-out hydrogen gas

본 발명은 발전장치에 관한 것으로, 좀더 상세하게는 연료전지차량의 수소탱크에서 누출되는 수소를 이용하여 전기를 만드는 발전장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a power generation apparatus, and more particularly, to a power generation apparatus for generating electricity using hydrogen leaked from a hydrogen tank of a fuel cell vehicle.

도 1은 일반적인 연료전지차량의 개략도이고, 도 2는 도 1의 요부 상세도이다. 상기 도 1 및 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 연료전지차량은 지붕에 수소탱크(1)가 장착되어 있고, 상기 수소탱크(1)에 저장된 수소가스는 밸브(2)를 통해 공급되는데, 이는 레이아웃(lay-out)상의 공간확보 측면에서 용이하다는 점과, 수소탱크(1)에서 누출된 수소가스가 위로 날라 가기 때문에 안전 측면에서 유리하기 때문이다.1 is a schematic diagram of a typical fuel cell vehicle, and FIG. 2 is a detailed view of main parts of FIG. 1. 1 and 2, the fuel cell vehicle is equipped with a hydrogen tank (1) on the roof, the hydrogen gas stored in the hydrogen tank 1 is supplied through the valve (2), which is the layout ( This is because it is easy in terms of securing the space on the lay-out, and it is advantageous in terms of safety since the hydrogen gas leaked from the hydrogen tank 1 flows upward.

수소의 경우 분자의 크기가 매우 작기 때문에 수소를 탱크속에 완전히 밀폐시키는 것은 매우 어려워서, 승용 연료전지 차량의 경우 수소연료를 가득 채우고 일주일 정도만 있으면 거의 다 누출되어 버리며, 수소 분자의 크기가 워낙 작아 탱크의 표면을 뚫고 서서히 샐뿐만 아니라 연결부위에서도 많은 양의 누출이 발생한다.In the case of hydrogen, the molecular size is very small, so it is very difficult to completely encapsulate hydrogen in the tank. In the case of a passenger fuel cell vehicle, hydrogen fuel is filled up and almost leaks in about a week. Slowly penetrating the surface, a large amount of leakage occurs not only in the sal, but also in the joints.

따라서, 연료전지차량에서는 수소탱크쪽에 별도의 환기장치를 설치하고 있다.Therefore, in the fuel cell vehicle, a separate ventilator is provided on the hydrogen tank side.

본 발명은 상기한 바와 같이 연료전지차량의 수소탱크에서 누출되는 수소가스를 이용하여 전기를 생성함으로써, 에너지를 보다 효율적으로 사용할 수 있고, 누출된 수소로 인해 발생되는 위험성도 감소할 뿐만 아니라 별도의 환기장치도 필요 없게 되는 연료전지차량에서 누출된 수소를 이용한 발전장치를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.As described above, the present invention generates electricity by using the hydrogen gas leaked from the hydrogen tank of the fuel cell vehicle, thereby enabling more efficient use of energy, and reducing the risk caused by the leaked hydrogen. It is an object of the present invention to provide a power generation apparatus using hydrogen leaked from a fuel cell vehicle, which requires no ventilation device.

상기한 바와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명에 따른 연료전지차량에서 누출된 수소를 이용한 발전장치는, 연료전지차량에 구비된 수소탱크에서 누출되는 수소를 한곳으로 모으는 수소탱크케이스와, 상기 수소탱크케이스에 의해 모아진 수소와 공기를 반응시켜서 전기를 생성하는 연료전지 및 상기 연료전지에서 생성된전기를 저장하는 배터리를 포함하여 구성된 것을 특징으로 한다.A power generation apparatus using hydrogen leaked from a fuel cell vehicle according to the present invention for achieving the above object, the hydrogen tank case for collecting the hydrogen leaked from the hydrogen tank provided in the fuel cell vehicle in one place, and the hydrogen tank It characterized in that it comprises a fuel cell for generating electricity by reacting the hydrogen and air collected by the case and a battery for storing the electricity generated in the fuel cell.
