Description

Brown gas generator and fuel generation and supply system

The present invention relates to a brown gas generator that electrolyzes water in an electrolytic cell to generate a brown gas containing hydrogen, and a fuel generation and supply system having a brown gas generator that is the brown gas generator.

Conventionally, a brown gas generator is known (Patent Document 1).
This brown gas generation device contains water, an electrolysis tank provided with an electrode that decomposes water and generates brown gas composed of hydrogen gas and hydrogen gas, and a power supply means for supplying current to the electrode, A first measuring means for measuring the water temperature of the water in the water electrolyzer, a second measuring means for measuring a current or voltage applied to the electrode, and an amount of brown gas generated in the water electrolyzer. And third measuring means for measuring.

JP 2010-007038 A

However, the brown gas generation device described in Patent Document 1 requires the three measurement means described above, and the amount of data to be handled increases, resulting in complicated processing and configuration.
Furthermore, the brown gas generator of Patent Document 1 acquires the measurement results by the cooling means for cooling the water in the water electrolyzer and the first, second and third measurement means, and according to the measurement results. The power supply means determines the current or voltage value and water temperature supplied to the electrode, and instructs the power supply means to output the determined current or voltage, and the cooling so that the determined water temperature is achieved. The size of the apparatus is unavoidable as long as it has the control means for driving the means and the control function for managing and controlling the gas generation efficiency in the optimum state.
In addition, there is no suggestion that the generated fuel will be “energy-saving” for conventional fuel.

In view of such a point, the present invention provides a flexible portion that can be bent with respect to the spacer mounting portion by connecting the main electrode plate and the induction electrode plate that is electrostatically induced therebetween via a spacer. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a brown gas generator and a fuel generation and supply system that can achieve "simplification and compactness of the apparatus", "improvement of brown gas generation efficiency", and "energy saving".

A brown gas generator 1 according to the present invention is a brown gas generator that electrolyzes water W in an electrolytic cell 2 to generate a brown gas B containing hydrogen. The pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3 to which the electric charge is applied and one or a plurality of induction electrode plates 4 electrostatically induced between the pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3 are immersed in the water W. The water W is electrolyzed between each of the pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 to generate the brown gas B, and the pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3 Each of the induction electrode plates 4 is connected to each other via a spacer 5, and has a spacer mounting portion 6 for mounting the spacer 5, and a flexible portion 7 that can be bent with respect to the spacer mounting portion 6. This is the first feature.

Due to this feature, a pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3 and an induction electrode plate 4 are provided in the electrolytic cell 2 in a state where they are immersed in water W, and a space between the pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 is provided. The water W is electrolyzed to generate brown gas B, and a spacer mounting portion 6 for mounting the spacer 5 on the pair of main electrode plates 3, 3 and induction electrode plate 4, and the spacer mounting portion 6 is bent. By providing the flexible portion 7 that can be used, the main electrode plates 3, 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 can be connected to each other because of the simplified structure only through the spacer 5. In FIG. 12), since positive or negative terminals are connected to each electrode plate, it is necessary to provide a space between the electrode plates by the amount of the terminal mounting portion, and between the positive and negative electrode plates. The device becomes thicker and thicker, for example, by sandwiching an insulator to prevent short circuit. However, in the Brown gas generator 1 of the present invention, the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 can be brought close to each other, so that "simplification and downsizing of the apparatus" can be achieved. .
At the same time, since positive and negative charges are applied not only to the main electrode plates 3 and 3 but also to the front and back surfaces of the induction electrode plate 4 electrostatically induced between them, hydrogen, oxygen, etc. (Brown gas B) are generated. The area of the electrode plate that can be increased increases, and the flexible portion 7 that can be bent with respect to the spacer mounting portion 6 applies a voltage to the main electrode plates 3 and 3 in order to electrolyze the water W (current flows). ), And this vibration makes it easy for hydrogen, oxygen, and the like that have become bubbles on the surfaces of the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 to be separated from the electrode plates 3 and 4, and always one after another. Then, since the water W comes into contact with the surfaces of the electrode plates 3 and 4 that can generate the brown gas B, it is possible to “improve the brown gas generation efficiency”.
In other words, it is possible to achieve both “simplification and compactness of the device” and “improvement of brown gas generation efficiency”.
The “Brown gas” is also called oxyhydrogen gas or HHO gas, and the “Brown gas B containing hydrogen” in the present invention is a gas containing at least hydrogen, in addition to hydrogen (H ₂ ), Oxygen (O ₂ ), ozone (O ₃ ), or the like may be included.

Note that the rotational speed of the swirling of the mixed fuel M and the brown gas B in the mixer 8 is not particularly limited as long as nanobubbles can be generated. For example, the rotational speed may be 400 to 600 times per second.
If the mixer 8 can turn the brown gas B into nano-bubbles in the mixed fuel M or the like, only the method (gas-liquid shearing method) that generates vortex by the tube or fan as described above can be used. Alternatively, nanobubbles may be formed by a pore method using a filter, a pressure dissolution method, a shock wave method, an ultrasonic method, or the like.

Here, “nano-bubble” in the present invention means that the diameter (bubble diameter) of the brown gas B that has become bubbles in the liquid fuel E, the mixed fuel M, or the like is 1 nm or more and 1000 nm or less. The brown gas B composed of bubbles (nano bubbles) having a bubble diameter of 1 nm to 1000 nm is referred to as nano brown gas.
On the other hand, in the mixer 8, not only nano-brown gas but also bubbles with a bubble diameter larger than 1000 nm are generated (note that the brown gas B composed of bubbles larger than the nano-brown gas bubble is converted into non-nano-brown gas. To do).

The surface of the bubbles of the brown gas B is charged in the mixed fuel M and the like, and the bubble diameter is larger than that of a general milli-order bubble. It has a feature that it can be efficiently dissolved in the mixed fuel M or the like.
In addition to this, the characteristics of the refined bubbles include a high pressure inside the bubbles and a long or semi-permanent remaining in the liquid.

In particular, if the bubbled brown gas B remains in the mixed fuel M or the like for a long time, the rising speed of the bubbles of the brown gas B in the mixed fuel M or the like varies greatly depending on the size. For example, a non-nano brown gas millibubble with a bubble diameter of 3 mm has an ascending speed of about 0.3 m / sec, and a microbubble with a bubble diameter of 100 μm has an ascending speed of about 0.005 m / sec.
That is, among the bubbles of the brown gas B mixed with the mixed fuel M or the like by the mixer 8, those having a bubble diameter larger than a predetermined size rise and escape from the mixed fuel M and the like in the mixing tank 9. It will be accumulated.

Note that when the bubble diameter of the brown gas B having a predetermined bubble diameter (for example, 1 μm or more and 50 μm or less) when bubbled enters the mixed fuel M or the like, surface tension acts on the interface of the bubbles. Most of them begin to shrink after mixing.
More specifically, the surface tension is a force that attracts molecules to condense each other, and if it is a droplet, it tends to be spherical.
It is the same that even if the bubbles are in the mixed fuel M or the like, the bubbles tend to become spherical due to the surface tension acting on the interface between the mixed fuel M and the brown gas B.

As described above, the surface of the bubble of the brown gas B is charged in the mixed fuel M or the like as described above, but due to this charging, the surface of the bubble exists in the mixed fuel M or the like. Many ions gather (concentration of charge).
Since this charge concentration occurs at the interface of the bubbles of the brown gas B, an electrostatic repulsive force acting between the charges on the opposite sides of the bubble sphere acts to prevent the bubbles from shrinking from a predetermined bubble diameter.

As a result, if the bubble diameter at the time of generation of the bubble of the brown gas B is a predetermined value (1 μm or more and 50 μm or less, etc.), it is initially not a nanobubble (it is a non-nano brown gas), but starts to contract, When it shrinks to a value of (for example, 1 nm or more and 200 nm or less), the contraction is stopped (stable) by the electrostatic repulsive force, and nano-brown gas is obtained. In this nanobubble generation process, the bubble diameter may be stabilized to be greater than 200 nm and not greater than 1000 nm.
In this way, by mixing nano-brown gas composed of stable bubbles (nano-bubbles) with a bubble diameter of 1 nm or more and 1000 nm or less into the mixed fuel M or the like, the nano-brown gas is one month, sometimes several months or more. It exists in the mixed fuel M and the like for a long time.

The peripheral edge of the electrode plate 4 is held (in a state where it is not fixed to the electrolytic cell 2).

Among them, an electric field is generated between the main electrode plates 3 and 3 by passing a current through the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and applying positive and negative charges only to the main electrode plates 3 and 3, respectively.

For example, it may be 0.8 mm or more and 3.0 mm or less, or may be slightly thicker than the main electrode plate 3 and the induction electrode plate 4.
The spacer 5 can be made of any material as long as the main electrode plate 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 to be connected can be insulated (a short circuit can be prevented) and the connection state between the electrode plates 3 and 4 can be maintained. The material may be a material, but may be an engineering plastic such as polyacetal (POM) or a super engineering plastic such as amorphous polyarylate (PAR).

The substantially annular portion that is connected (adhered or the like) to these spacers 5 is the spacer mounting portion 6 in the main electrode plate 3 and the induction electrode plate 4, and these spacer mounting portions 6 are also like the spacer 5 described above. The main electrode plate 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 are positioned at substantially the center in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.
Therefore, the peripheral end portions (portions surrounding the substantially central portion) other than the substantially central portion (spacer mounting portion 6) in the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plates 4 are as described above. And since the periphery of the induction electrode plate 4 is not fixed to the electrolytic cell 2, it is possible to bend in the front-rear direction with respect to the spacer mounting portion 6 (substantially central portion).
That is, the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and each induction electrode plate 4 have a flexible portion 7 at the peripheral end.

When the current flows between the main electrode plates 3 and 3, the flexible portion 7 is charged positively or negatively to the flexible portion 7 of the main electrode plate 3, and the flexible portion 7 of the induction electrode plate 4 is charged. Both sides are positively and negatively charged by electrostatic induction.
That is, the surface of the negatively charged induction electrode plate 4 is present closest to the positively charged main electrode plate 3, and positive and negative appear alternately on the front and back surfaces of each induction electrode body 4. Near the charged main electrode plate 3 is the surface of the positively charged induction plate 4.
Therefore, the induction electrode plate 4 closest to the positively charged main electrode plate 3 is naturally pulled by the positively charged main electrode plate 3 rather than the farthest negatively charged main electrode plate 3.
Conversely, the induction electrode plate 4 closest to the negatively charged main electrode plate 3 is naturally pulled by the negatively charged main electrode plate 3 rather than the farthest positively charged main electrode plate 3. means.
Accordingly, the flexible portions 7 of the induction electrode plate 4 are bent toward the closer main electrode plate 3 side (that is, the front-rear direction outer side).

Here, even if the electric current passed through the main electrode plates 3 and 3 is a direct current, there is a slight change, and the degree of bending in the flexible portion 7 changes according to the change (that is, Vibrate).
This is the same even if the current flowing through the main electrode plates 3 and 3 is an alternating current (commercial current or the like). For example, the flexibility of the induction electrode plate 4 pulled toward the positively charged main electrode plate 3 side. The portion 7 is almost free from bending of the flexible portion 7 at the moment when the current when the positive and negative directions are reversed, but when the main electrode plate 3 is negatively charged, the induction is caused by electrostatic induction. Since the surface of the electrode plate 4 closer to the main electrode plate 3 is positively charged, the flexible portion 7 of the induction electrode body 4 is also bent toward the main electrode plate 3 side.
That is, every time the polarity of the current is switched, the presence / absence of bending in the flexible portion 7 is switched, that is, it vibrates.
Similarly, the current flowing through the main electrode plates 3 and 3 is the same as the pulse current, and the flexible portion 7 vibrates in accordance with the change of the pulse.
A substantially cylindrical flow-through member 34 is inserted into each of the through- holes 4a and 4a in the induction electrode plate 4, and the gap between the flow-through member 34 and the induction electrode plate 4 is as shown in FIG. In addition, each through hole 4 a is formed so that at least one of the vertical and horizontal directions is slightly larger than the cross section of the flow-through member 34 so that the gap 4 b is formed.
Due to the gap 4b, the induction plate 4 can be bent even if the flow-through member 34 is inserted.

The flexible portion 7 that can be bent with respect to the spacer mounting portion 6 can vibrate by applying a voltage to electrolyze the water W, and this vibration causes the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 to vibrate. Hydrogen, oxygen, etc. that have become bubbles on the surface of the electrode easily become separated from the respective electrode plates 3, 4, and water W always touches the surface of the electrode plates 3, 4 that can generate the brown gas B one after another. It becomes.
At the same time, since positive and negative charges are applied not only to the main electrode plates 3 and 3 but also to the front and back of the induction electrode plate 4 electrostatically induced therebetween, hydrogen, oxygen, etc. (Brown gas B) Since the area of the electrode plate that can be generated increases, it is also possible to “improve brown gas generation efficiency”.
Further, the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 connected by the spacer 5, the spacer mounting portion 6 and the flexible portion 7 described above have a simplified structure. 12), it is not necessary to connect positive or negative terminals to each electrode plate, and the main electrode plates 3, 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 can be brought close to each other. "Simpler and more compact equipment" can be achieved.
In other words, it is possible to achieve both “simplification and compactness of the device” and “improvement of brown gas generation efficiency”.

Note that the main electrode plate 3 also has the flexible portion 7 on the induction electrode plate 4 side (that is, the front-rear inner side) because the surface on the near side of the nearest induction electrode plate 4 is charged positively or negatively. Can bend.
Further, even if there is only one induction electrode plate 4, the vibration of the flexible portion 7 described above can be reduced if it is arranged to be shifted from the middle position between the pair of main electrode plates 3, 3 to either front or back. Occur.

Furthermore, even if the current flowing through the main electrode plates 3 and 3 is a commercial current, it is not a sine wave current that changes with an accurate period, but is actually more than 50 or 60 Hz due to various noises (radio waves, etc.). High frequency vibrations (eg, ultrasonic vibrations) can occur. At this time, hydrogen, oxygen, and the like that have become bubbles on the surfaces of the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 are repeatedly expanded and contracted in size according to the period of vibration.
If this expansion / contraction is explained in detail, the surface area of bubbles such as hydrogen is naturally larger than the surface area during contraction when the bubbles themselves expand. Here, since the amount of gas (such as hydrogen) entering and exiting the bubble is proportional to the surface area of the bubble, the amount of gas entering the bubble during expansion is greater than the amount of gas exiting from the bubble during contraction.
Therefore, the bubble expands at every period of vibration.
Some of the growing bubbles finally expand to a critical size where the bubbles themselves cannot be maintained, and water W rushes into the bubbles and is compressed and broken.
Although the bubbles to be compressed and destroyed are very small in an instant, high temperature and high pressure (for example, several thousand degrees, 100 atm to 1000 atm, etc.) are instantaneously generated in a minute region.
The surrounding water W is also decomposed by heat generated by such bubble compression breakage, and hydrogen ions (H ⁺ ) and hydroxide ions (OH ⁻ ) having very high reactivity are generated.
In addition to hydrogen (H ₂ ) and oxygen (O ₂ ), ozone (O ₃ ) may be formed by these highly reactive ions (hydrogen ions (H ⁺ ), hydroxide ions ( OH ⁻ ), ozone (O ₃ ), water vapor (H ₂ O), hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ), etc. may also be included in the brown gas B).

<Suction member 31>
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the suction member 31 in the brown gas generator 1 sucks water W into the electrolytic cell 2.
Specifically, in the suction member 31, a water tank 31a, a suction connecting member 31b, and a suction path 31c are provided in this order from the upstream side.

Specifically, a water tank 31a containing water W is provided on the uppermost stream side of the suction member 31, and a suction connection composed of a flexible hose or the like is provided on the downstream side of the water tank 31a. The material 31b is connected.
A suction path 31c for sending water W to the electrolytic cell 2 is connected to the downstream side of the suction connection member 31b, and the downstream side (that is, the side closest to the electrolytic cell 2) of the suction path 31c is in the electrolytic cell 2. It communicates with the cover 37b of the exterior plate 37 on the rear side.

In addition, the suction connecting member 31b may be a flexible tube, or conversely, a non-flexible tube, in addition to the above-described hose.
Further, a joint may be provided between the water tank 31a and the suction connecting member 31b, and between the suction connecting member 31b and the suction passage 31c (not shown).

<Discharge member 32>
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the discharge member 32 in the brown gas generator 1 sends out the brown gas B in the electrolytic cell 2 to the outside of the apparatus.
Specifically, in the discharge member 32, a discharge path 32a and a separator 32b provided in the discharge path 32a are provided.

More specifically, on the most upstream side of the discharge member 32 (that is, the side closest to the electrolytic cell 2), the gas passage 26 (gas coupling material 26a) from the cover 37b of the exterior plate 37 on the front surface side in the electrolytic cell 2 is provided. ) In the uppermost stream side is provided.
The discharge path 32a extends substantially straight forward and then upwards along the normal direction of the front exterior plate 37 of the electrolytic cell 2.

A separator 32b that removes impurities and the like from the brown gas B discharged from the electrolytic cell 2 is provided in the middle of the substantially straight forward portion of the discharge channel 32a and at a front position of the electrolytic cell 2.
The separator 32b is a substantially cylindrical member through a curved pipe from a straight part of the discharge path 32a, and removes impurities in the brown gas B passing through the straight part of the discharge path 32a and dissolves in the water W. In addition to the solid components deposited in the electrolytic cell 2 due to electrolysis, in the electrolytic cell 2, water vapor (H ₂ O) and hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ) that have become gases go straight through the discharge path 32a. It also plays the role of separating the liquid that passes through the part (gas-liquid separation).

<Power transmission member 33>
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the power transmission member 33 in the brown gas generator 1 imparts positive and negative charges (flows current) to each of the pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3.
The power transmission member 33 includes a terminal 33a that is electrically connected to each main electrode plate 3, and a cord 33b that is connected to the terminal 33a and transmits power.

The terminal 33a is composed of a bolt, a nut, a washer, and the like. In particular, the bolt is formed in a substantially disk shape with a thin head portion, and the screw body is an inner electrode hole 3b, 3b of the main electrode plate 3. And through the middle electrode holes 36b and 36b of the sealing plate 36 and the outer electrode holes 37c and 37c of the outer plate 37 (the screw body passes through the main electrode plate 3, the sealing plate 36 and the outer plate 37), and the screw tip portion A terminal 33a is attached to the electrolytic cell 2 by screwing a nut or the like to the side.
The terminal 33 a also serves to attach the substantially central portion of each main electrode plate 3 to the electrolytic cell 2, and the approximately central portion of the main electrode plate 3 is connected to the induction electrode plate 4 via the spacer 5. Therefore, the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 are suspended in the electrolytic cell 2.
Due to this suspended state, the tank frame 35 does not hinder the bending of the flexible portion 7 in the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4. All the peripheral end portions of the end portion and the left and right end portions can be the flexible portion 7.
In addition, between the head part of the bolt and the screw body, and the main electrode plate 3, the sealing plate 36, and the exterior plate 37, a treatment that prevents water W and brown gas B from leaking from the electrolytic cell 2 with a seal or the like (seal or the like) ) Has been.

The cord 33b is connected to a washer or the like sandwiched between the nut of the terminal 33a and the exterior plate 37, and a current is supplied from the power source (power is supplied) through the cord 33b.
As described above, the current flowing through the main electrode plates 3 and 3 may be a direct current, an alternating current, a pulse current, or a current that changes in a triangular wave shape.
The power source for supplying these currents is not particularly limited, but may be built in the housing of the brown gas generator 1, or may be a commercial power source (outlet), a separate generator, a battery, or the like. May be.
Furthermore, you may provide the transformer which changes a voltage from a power supply, and the apparatus (converter) which converts direct current into alternating current or alternating current into direct current.

<Cross-flow member 34>
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the flow-through member 34 in the brown gas generator 1 passes the water W from the suction member 31 to between the pair of main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4. The brown gas B generated between the main electrode plates 3 and 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 is passed to the discharge member 32.
Specifically, the flow-through member 34 allows water W that has entered the space between the rear main electrode plate 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 from the rear suction member 31 to the front side of the main electrode plate 3. It is inserted between the induction electrode plates 4 on the (inner side) and between the foremost induction electrode plate 4 and the main electrode plate 3 on the front side (discharge member 32 side).
At the same time, the flow-through member 34 generates brown gas B generated between the main electrode plate 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 on the rear side (on the suction member 31 side) of the electrolytic cell 2 and between the induction electrode plates 4. In addition, it passes through the space between the main electrode plate 3 and the induction electrode plate 4 on the front side (discharge member 32 side) of the electrolytic cell 2 and exits from the discharge member 32 on the front side of the electrolytic cell 2.
Therefore, the flow-through member 34 inserted in the lower part of the induction electrode plate 4 mainly passes the water W, and the flow-through member 34 inserted in the upper part of the induction electrode plate 4 mainly passes the brown gas B.

The flow-through member 34 that plays such a role is a substantially cylindrical body, and a part of the side peripheral surface thereof is notched in the cylinder axis direction (notch portion 34a), and is formed in a substantially C-shaped cross section. Has been.
The notch 34a of the flow-through member 34 is arranged such that the lower flow-through member 34 faces downward and the upper flow-through member 34 faces upward.
As a result, the water W passing through the through-flow member 34 easily escapes downward between the induction electrode plates 4, and the brown gas B passing through the through-flow member 34 easily escapes upward between the induction electrode plates 4. Become.
Further, since the flow-through members 34 are provided in a pair on the left and right, the water W can be convected by the lower flow-through member 34 and the brown gas B can be convected by the upper flow-through member 34.

<Burning condition of mixed fuel M>
The fuel generation and supply system 20 according to the first embodiment having the brown gas generator (brown gas generator) 1 described above is a mixed fuel M (gas-gas-liquid mix energy) having higher combustion efficiency than the conventional liquid fuel E. The application trademark)) can be generated and supplied to the combustion apparatus (boiler 104, etc.).
As shown in FIG. 6, the combustion condition of the mixed fuel M generated and supplied by the fuel generation and supply system 20 is whiter than the conventional liquid fuel E (kerosene) only, and burns more completely. I understand that.
Here, the molecule of liquid fuel E such as kerosene is a combination of carbon atoms (C) and hydrogen electrons (H), and has a main chain in which carbon atoms (C) are chained. In view of the point that the reaction with the oxygen atom (O) becomes insufficient as the carbon atom (C) is linked in the main chain, as in the present invention, the brown having a size of 1 nm to 1000 nm (nanosize) By mixing the gas B with the liquid fuel E, the molecule of the liquid fuel E (the main chain of carbon atoms (C)) has a higher reaction rate than the carbon atoms (C) (for example, 7 times to 10 times times or less). ) The hydrogen atoms (H) can be brought close to each other, and the hydrogen atoms (H) undergo a violent oxidation reaction (burn) near the main chain of the carbon atoms (C). (C) Invite the oxidation reaction (combustion) of itself.
Furthermore, since this combustion attraction / oxidation reaction occurs continuously, the combustion of carbon atoms (C) in the liquid fuel E occurs surely, approaching complete combustion, and the combustion efficiency is greatly improved.

<Mixing ratio>
The mixing ratio of the liquid fuel E and the brown gas B will be described. For example, in the mixer 8 of the fuel generation and supply system 20, 10 liters of liquid fuel E is poured from the liquid inlet 8a per minute and the brown gas is supplied from the gas inlet 8b. Gas B sucks 50 liters.
This process is repeated for the 10 liters of liquid fuel E in the mixing tank 9 through the loop path 25 and the mixer 8 in two consecutive steps, whereby 10 liters of liquid fuel E in the mixing tank 9 after the completion of the two processes is obtained. The liquid fuel E is mixed (contacted) by a mixer 8 with a total of 100 liters of brown gas B.

Furthermore, in another example, the total fuel consumption of heavy oil, which is the conventional liquid fuel E, is 80 liters per hour in two boilers. The operating time of these two boilers is one day. If it is 10 hours, in the conventional case (when only heavy oil is used), "800 liters per day" is consumed (if the unit price of heavy oil is 90 yen per liter, the fuel cost is 72,000 yen per day) Takes).
However, a case where the mixed fuel M by the fuel generation and supply system 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is used will be described. For example, the two boilers consume 80 liters of heavy oil per hour. As described above, if the brown gas B is mixed at a ratio of 100 liters with respect to 10 liters of heavy oil, the brown gas generator 1 (brown gas generator) 1 is "800 liters per hour" Gas B is generated (consumed).

Furthermore, in order to effectively use the brown gas B that has escaped in the mixing tank 9, the remixing path 11 (loop path 25, gas path) is used against 80 liters of heavy oil consumed by the two boilers per hour. 26, the recycling path 28) may be used to increase the dissolution rate of the brown gas B.
At this time, since 100 liters in total are already mixed (contacted) with 10 liters of heavy oil, the circulation pump 24 in the loop passage 25 may not be operated for one hour, and only 30 minutes in one hour. The circulation pump 24 (and the brown gas generator 1) can be operated, and the circulation pump 24 (and the brown gas generator 1) can be stopped (rested) for the remaining 30 minutes.
Therefore, the amount of the brown gas B generated by the brown gas generator 1 is also almost halved, and may be “450 liters per hour”.

In other words, once the brown gas B is mixed and then the remixing path 11 is also used, a total of “1250 liters per hour” of brown gas B is generated (consumed) by the brown gas generator 1. ).
If 7.0 kW is consumed when the brown gas generator 1 is operated for 1 hour to generate 2000 liters of brown gas b, the consumption when generating 1250 liters of brown gas B per hour. The power is 7.0 × (1250/2000) = 4.375≈4.38 kW, that is, “4.36 kW per hour”.

Moreover, since 1250 liters of brown gas B is mixed (contacted) with 80 liters of heavy oil, eventually, brown gas B is mixed at a ratio of 1250 ÷ 80 = 156 liters with respect to 10 liters of heavy oil. With this mixing ratio, the consumption amount per hour of the conventional liquid fuel E (heavy oil) can be reduced to 5% or more and 50% or less. (For example, 20%).
In addition, when referring to how many liters of brown gas B are mixed with 10 liters of liquid fuel E (heavy oil), naturally, when a large amount of brown gas B is mixed, the combustion efficiency increases, but that amount And power consumption goes up.
Therefore, in the mixer 8, 10 liters of liquid fuel E may be mixed with 1 to 1000 liters of brown gas B, preferably 30 to 500 liters, more preferably, 50 liters or more and 300 liters or less.

Here, it is also noted that in order to mix heavy oil and Brown gas B in the fuel generation and supply system 20, the supply pump 22 and the circulation pump 24 must also be operated (that is, power consumption is required).
To mix heavy oil and brown gas B, 80 liters of heavy oil must first be pumped from the existing fuel tank 101 to the mixing tank 9 by the supply pump 22, and the pumping speed of the supply pump 22 is increased per minute. If it is 5 liters, it needs to run for 16 minutes.
If the supply pump 22 is operated for 1 hour and consumes 0.2 kW, the power consumption for 16 minutes is 0.2 × (16 minutes / 60 minutes) = 0.0533. 05 kW.

Furthermore, if the brown gas B in the mixing tank 9 is also effectively used in the remixing path 11, the circulation pump 24 is operated for 30 minutes in one hour, so it is operated for one hour. If the circulation pump that consumes 0.4 kW is used, the power consumption for 30 minutes is 0.4 × (30 minutes / 60 minutes) = 0.20 kW.
Therefore, the power consumed by the supply pump 22 and the circulation pump 24 is “0.25 kW per hour”.
That is, the power consumed by the brown gas generator 1 and the two pumps 22 and 24 of the present invention is 4.38 + 0.25 = 4.63 (that is, 4.63 kW per hour), and the two Since the boiler operates for 10 hours a day, it consumes “46.3 kW per day” (if the unit price of electricity is 18 yen per kW, 46.3 × 18 = 833. 4≈833, which is an electricity bill of 833 yen per day).

Therefore, conventionally, “800 liters per day (72,000 yen per day)” heavy oil is consumed.
However, if the fuel generation and supply system 20 of the present invention is used, heavy oil is reduced by 20%, and “640 liters per day” is enough (if the unit price of heavy oil is similarly 90 yen per liter, it is 57600 yen. Fuel cost), even if you add 833 yen electricity bill, it costs only "58433 yen a day".
Therefore, energy saving of 160 liters of heavy oil per day and cost reduction of 13567 yen are achieved.

As shown in FIG. 11, the combustion condition of the mixed gas M ′ generated and supplied by the fuel generation and supply system 20 is larger in flame and purple than the conventional combustion of only the gaseous fuel A (propane gas). It can be seen that it is more completely burned.
Furthermore, the combustion temperature of only the gaseous fuel A shows 605 ° C. (FIG. 11 (a)), but the combustion temperature of the mixed gas M ′ further increases to 850 ° C. (FIG. 11 ( b)), the tip of the iron bar in front of the flame is also red.
Therefore, it is a gaseous fuel A having no main chain composed of carbon atoms (C) (methane (CH ₄ ) or very short (propane (C ₃ H ₈ ), butane (C ₄ H ₁₀ )). However, by mixing the brown gas B, it becomes possible to increase the number of hydrogen atoms (H) whose reaction rate is faster than that of the carbon atoms (C), and continuously induce the combustion and oxidation reaction. The combustion efficiency in the conventional fuel can be improved regardless of whether it is gas or liquid.

<Improved combustion efficiency>
The improvement of the combustion efficiency in the mixed gas M ′ of the gaseous fuel A and the brown gas B is described. For example, a round can containing 10 kg of water is placed on a propane stove, and the temperature and elapsed time of 10 kg of water after the stove ignition. In the case of conventional gaseous fuel (propane gas) A, it takes 36 minutes 19 seconds to raise the water temperature from 9.1 ° C. to 90.0 ° C. The propane gas used at that time is It becomes “140 g” by weight in liquid.
However, the case where the mixed gas M ′ by the fuel generation and supply system 20 according to the third embodiment of the present invention is used will be described. For example, 5.8 liters per minute from the brown gas generator (Brown gas generator) 1 When the brown gas B is generated and mixed, it takes 31 minutes 33 seconds to raise the water temperature from 9.1 ° C. to 90.0 ° C. The propane gas used at that time is The weight is “115 g (propane gas consumption reduced by 17.86%)”.
Also, when 9.9 liters of brown gas B per minute is generated and mixed from the brown gas generator 1, it takes 28 minutes 47 seconds to raise the water temperature from 9.1 ° C. to 90.0 ° C. The propane gas used at that time is “105 g (propane gas consumption reduced by 25.00%)” in terms of the liquid weight.
Further, when the amount of brown gas B generated and mixed by the brown gas generator 1 is increased to 12.9 liters per minute, the water temperature is increased from 9.1 ° C. to 90.0 ° C. The propane gas used at that time is shortened to 20 minutes, and the weight of the propane gas used at that time becomes “95 g (propane gas consumption is reduced by 32.14%)”.
Therefore, the fuel generation and supply system 20 of the present invention can improve combustion efficiency, reduce the amount of fuel consumed (cost), and save energy even when the conventional gaseous fuel A and the brown gas b are mixed.

For example, among the heavy oils defined in JIS-K-2205: 2006, three kinds (C heavy oil) may be used.
Incidentally, if described in detail C heavy oil, if the kinematic viscosity of 250 mm ² / s or less (more than a 50mm ² / s 250mm ² / s or less) three No. 1, kinematic viscosity 400 mm ² / s or less (250 mm ² / If it exceeds s and is 400 mm ² / s or less), it will be class 3 No. 2, and if the kinematic viscosity is 1000 mm ² / s or less (over 400 mm ² / s and 1000 mm ² / s or less), it will be class 3 No. 3.
Also, JIS-K-2205: In 2006, among the heavy oil, two if the kinematic viscosity of 50 mm ² / s or less (20mm ² / s and beyond 50 mm ² / s or less) (B heavy oil), kinematic viscosity 20mm If it is ² / s or less, it is specified as one type (A heavy oil).

In addition, the point that the tank path 23, the circulation pump 24, and the loop path 25 are covered (covered) with the heat insulating structure 12 is different from the first embodiment.

In the present invention, the term “covered (covered)” by the heat insulating structure 12 is sufficient to cover at least a part of the object to be covered. Even if it is up to the front (upstream side of the lower supply valve 10c) connected to the tool 29, or if it is the tank path 23, it may be up to the front (downstream of the system valve 21c) connected to the branching tool 21, There is no change in “covering” the supply path 10 and the tank path 23.

The sheet-like material 41 may be any material as long as it suppresses the movement of heat. For example, a reflective sheet in which aluminum, copper, platinum, brass, or the like is fixed to the surface of a heat insulating sheet is used. They may be stacked (in this case, the mixer 8 is covered so that the reflection sheet side is exposed).

Materials for the heat insulation sheet include fiber insulation such as glass wool, rock wool, cellulose fiber, carbonized cork and wool insulation, and foam insulation such as urethane foam, phenol foam, polystyrene foam and foam rubber. Also good.
Moreover, the sheet-like object 41 does not necessarily need to have a reflective sheet.

In addition, inside the heat insulating structure 12, electrical equipment (for example, the storage amount sensor 9a of the mixing tank 9 and the electromagnetic valve as the middle tank valve 23f) is covered by the heat insulating structure 12 separately. Even if the temperature in the heat insulation structure 12 becomes high by the temperature adjusting means 13 described below, normal operation can be ensured.
Even if it is the sheet-like material 41 that directly covers or collectively covers the mixer 8 and the like, it can be said that the mixer 8 and the blankun gas generating unit 1 are separated from each other.

<Temperature adjusting means 13>
The temperature adjusting means 13 may have any configuration as long as it adjusts the temperature in the region on the side of the mixer 8, the mixing tank 9, the supply path 10, the remixing path 11, and the like from the heat insulating structure 12. However, as long as C heavy oil having a high viscosity (dynamic viscosity) at room temperature is used as the liquid fuel E, for example, a heater (heating device) may be included.

The heater is provided in a region on the side of the mixer 8 and the like from the heat insulating structure 12 (inside the heat insulating structure 12 covering the mixer 8 and the like), has a temperature sensor, and has a thermostat, a thyristor, a timer. Alternatively, the heater is turned on / off manually or the like, and the temperature of the region on the side of the mixer 8 etc. from the heat insulating structure 12 is kept at a predetermined value.
The temperature at which the heater should be adjusted and maintained may be any temperature as long as it does not interfere with the mixing of the liquid fuel E and the brown gas B, but may be about 100 ° C., for example.
In addition, while the heater is turned off, the temperature of the region is maintained for a while due to the residual heat, and in this case, the above-described heat insulating structure 12 exhibits a heat retaining effect.

In addition to the heater, the temperature adjusting means 13 may have a fan (blower). By this fan, the air (atmosphere) in the region from the region on the side of the mixer 8 or the like from the heat insulating structure 12. It may be exhausted to maintain a predetermined temperature.
In addition, even if it does not have a fan, the opening-and-closing window which connects the said area | region and its exterior so that the air (atmosphere) of the said area | region can be exhausted (ventilated) from the area | region of the mixer 8 grade | etc., From the heat insulation structure 12 Etc.
In this way, the mixer 8, the mixing tank 9, the supply path 10 and the like are separated from the brown gas generator 1 by the heat insulating structure 12, and the temperature adjusting means 13 is provided on the mixer 8 and the like side from the heat insulating structure 12. By, for example, even in Japan and overseas, even when a liquid fuel E having a high viscosity (kinematic viscosity) such as C heavy oil is used, it becomes possible to mix brown gas B having a predetermined dissolution rate, There is no influence of heat on the equipment such as the brown gas generator 1.
