Drying method of a mixture of hydrogen gas produced by an electrochemical hydrogen compressor

摘要

In accordance with one embodiment, a method of drying a hydrogen gas mixture is disclosed. The method may include determining a mass flow rate of water min a hydrogen gas mixture stream and an adsorbent capacity of one or more adsorbent beds; determining a first period of time based on the determined mass flow rate of water min the hydrogen gas mixture stream and the adsorbent capacity; directing the hydrogen gas mixture stream through a first adsorbent bed of the one or more adsorbent beds for the first period of time; adsorbing a quantity of water from the hydrogen gas mixture stream into the first adsorbent bed; and regenerating the first adsorbent bed.
