Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for producing hydrogen gas and in particular for producing hydrogen gas in an electrolysis cell using radiation, for example solar radiation, as a source of energy for the cell.
  • One alternative fuel source is hydrogen.
  • the use of hydrogen as a carrier of energy, particularly in the context as a fuel, has the following significant technical advantages over other energy sources .
  • a first aspect of the invention provides an electrolyser for generating hydrogen gas by electrolysis of steam, the electrolyser comprising:
  • the invention is based on the realisation that a practical system is obtained by providing a compact multi- cell electrolyser and irradiating the multiple electrolysis cells with guided radiant energy that would otherwise not irradiate the cells sufficiently evenly for high efficiency.
  • an energy concentrator for collecting and concentrating radiant energy from a source for use in the electrolyser as an energy source .
  • Some embodiments of the apparatus further comprise:
  • a separator that is interposed between the energy concentrator and the convertor for receiving and separating the concentrated radiant energy into a first band of short wavelength radiation and a second band of long wavelength radiation and directing the first band to the convertor and directing the second band to the one or more energy guides.
  • the textured surface has a surface roughness in the range of lum to a few millimetres , and more preferably in the range of lum to 500um.
  • the textured surface comprises a surface formed by sand-blasting or acid etching.
  • the energy guide comprises quartz, crystal or an amorphous glass-product .
  • section profile is rectangular and the energy guides are formed as panels .
  • the invention provides a method of generating hydrogen gas from steam, the method comprising:
  • the method involved controlling the energy density to be in the range of 0.1 to 2 W/cm 2 on the surface of electrolysis cells, preferably 0.5 to 2 W/cm 2 and more preferably about 1 W/cm 2 .
  • step (b) involves directing the radiant energy to irradiate and heat the plurality of electrolysis cell to a temperature of greater than 700 0 C, preferably about 1000 0 C.
  • the invention provides hydrogen gas produced by a method according to the third aspect of the invention.
  • steam is directed internally through the electrolysis cells 38 and is split into hydrogen gas and oxygen ions at the inner surface forming the cathode 40.
  • the oxygen ions migrate through the porous wall of the electrolysis cells and combine with electrons at the outer surface anode 42 to form oxygen gas.
  • the oxygen gas percolating out of the outer surfaces of the electrolysis cells 42 into the space between the electrolysis cells 38 and the energy guides 44 is collected at an oxygen gas outlet 36 ( Figure 2) of the electrolyser 30 for subsequent processing and use.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un électrolyseur pour la production d'hydrogène gazeux. L'électrolyseur comprend des cellules d'électrolyse en communication avec un distributeur de vapeur et un ou plusieurs guides d'énergie disposés dans l'électrolyseur qui dirigent une énergie rayonnante de façon à exposer la pluralité de cellules d'électrolyse, afin que les cellules d'électrolyse absorbent de l'énergie thermique pour faciliter l'électrolyse dans les cellules d'électrolyse. L'électrolyseur comprend également un collecteur d'hydrogène gazeux destiné à recueillir l'hydrogène gazeux généré par les cellules d'électrolyse. L'invention concerne en outre un appareil et un procédé pour générer de l'hydrogène gazeux, l'hydrogène gazeux produit par l'appareil et un procédé de génération d'électricité à partir de l'hydrogène gazeux recueilli en provenance de l'électrolyseur.
