DEVICE FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN USING METHANOL STEAM REFORMATION, AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A device for producing hydrogen using methanol steam reformation, and hydrogen production method thereof. The device for producing hydrogen using methanol steam reformation comprises a methanol steam storage container (1), a transfer pump (2), a frequency converter (3), a heat exchanger (5), and a reformer (4). The frequency converter (3) is configured to convert a low-frequency voltage or a direct current voltage into a high-frequency voltage required by a solenoid (421) in an electromagnetic heater (42), and is provided with a liquid-cooled heat sink (31). The methanol steam material flows past the liquid-cooled heat sink (31) while being pumped by the transfer pump (2), such that heat generated by the frequency converter (3) is removed by the methanol steam material. The reformer (4) is provided with a reformation chamber (41), the electromagnetic heater (42), and a hydrogen purifier (43), and the electromagnetic heater (42) comprises the solenoid (421) and a metal magnetic member (422). The solenoid (421) can produce a high-frequency magnetic field upon an input of a high-frequency voltage, such that the metal magnetic member (422) generates heat by magnetic induction, and provides thermal energy to the reformation chamber (41). The frequency converter (3) generates little noise and has a superior heat dissipation performance and low power consumption, and the thermal energy generated can be efficiently utilized.
