Description
Title of Invention: Device For Generating Hydrogen Gas
Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to a hydrogen gas generating device and method thereof, and more particularly to such a device and method that generates hydrogen gas by the controlled injection of reactants into a reaction chamber.
Background Art
Fuel cell power generation systems generate electricity by a reaction of hydrogen and air, and can power vehicles, machines, and other devices that require a constant supply of electricity. The source hydrogen is generally stored in-situ, which requires cumbersome and costly pressurized tanks. When the application is that of a vehicle or other moving machine, then the problem is extended to the extra weight of and space required for the storage tanks. One solution to this is the on-site generation of hydrogen gas, close to the fuel cells, so that minimal or zero storage of hydrogen gas is required.
Hydrogen gas can be generated via a chemical reaction separating the hydrogen gas from source materials such as chemical hydrides. The chemical hydrides are much safer stored compared to hydrogen gas. Various solutions exist that generate hydrogen gas from hydrides, and most of these use a reaction chamber of some sort that contains a quantity of the chemical hydride. A liquid such as water is then injected into this reaction chamber, and the chemical reaction that ensues produces hydrogen gas.
One problem with these hydrogen gas generating systems is that the reaction chamber in most cases has to be removed once the chemical hydride fuel has been depleted. It is then in some cases re-filled with chemical hydride, and reused. In some cases, however, the costly reaction chamber cannot be reused, and is thrown away. In either of these cases, the replacement of the empty reaction chamber with a full one can be cumbersome and tedious.
In another known solution, the reaction chamber is not removed, but is charged with the reactant on-site. This comes with its own problems, the biggest of which are difficulty in charging the chamber with the reactant, and time required to do so. The time factor is
DK 2019 70707 A1 especially pertinent in applications such as passenger vehicles. Waiting more than a few minutes at refilling stations usually makes it unfeasible.
A problem shared by all the above solutions is the difficulty to finely control the chemical reaction. Depending on the geometry of the reaction chamber, the bulk of the chemical hydride changes as it is depleted, thus making the rate of the reaction, and thus the amount of the hydrogen gas produced, difficult to control. Accurate control of the reaction rate is also important in achieving an optimum chemical reaction, and efficient production of hydrogen gas.
Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
In a hydrogen gas generating device via a chemical reaction between two or more reactants, the reaction chamber needs to be continuously replenished with reactants.
In a hydrogen gas generating device via a chemical reaction between two or more reactants, the reaction chamber has limited volume in which to store reactants.
In a hydrogen gas generating device via a chemical reaction between two or more reactants, a pre-filled reaction chamber has limited volume and geometry to produce hydrogen efficiently.
In a hydrogen gas generating device via a chemical reaction between two or more reactants, the costly reaction chamber needs to be preserved.
In a hydrogen gas generating device via a chemical reaction between two or more reactants, the rate of reaction needs to be finely and accurately controlled so that the hydrogen gas is produced efficiently.

Description of Embodiments
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a schematic diagram of a device for generating hydrogen gas in a first embodiment, provided with a reaction chamber (10) designed to contain a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas from precursor reactants. The reaction chamber (10) is provided with a pressure sensor (52) and a temperature sensor (54), which are designed to measure a pressure and temperature, respectively, within the reaction chamber (10). There is also provided a first reactant storage (20) designed to store a first reactant, and a second reactant storage (30) designed to store a second reactant. Each of these two reactants is a precursor to a chemical reaction that ultimately
DK 2019 70707 A1 produces hydrogen gas. When combined, these reactants undergo a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas.
The first reactant storage (20) is connected to a first reactant injection means (25). This first reactant injection means (25) is designed to inject the first reactant into the reaction chamber (10). In this first embodiment, the first reactant is a premixed chemical comprising a mixture of a chemical hydride and a catalyst, such as a metal based catalyst, liquid catalyst, or organic catalyst. The first reactant injection means (25) is a injection means such as a pump injector, screw feeder or mechanical actuator. The first reactant injection means (25) thus injects the premixed chemical into the reaction chamber (10) via a first injection port (26).
The second reactant storage (30) is connected to a second reactant injection means (35). This second reactant injection means (35) is designed to inject the second reactant into the reaction chamber (10). In this first embodiment, the second reactant is water or steam and the second reactant injection means (35) comprises a pump and nozzle. The second reactant injection means (35) thus injects the water or steam into the reaction chamber (10) via a second injection port (36). A further variation to this embodiment is the addition of acid or other additives to the water or steam to enhance the hydrogen gas production.
In this way, the two reactants are injected into the reaction chamber (10), thus initiating the chemical reaction which results in the generation of hydrogen gas and some waste products. The hydrogen gas is separated from the waste products in a filter (60), where the waste products are removed via a waste disposal (65).

The optimum rates of reactant injection result in an optimum production of hydrogen gas. The microprocessor (50) sends the calculated optimum rates of injection via a first reactant injection control (28) to the first reactant
DK 2019 70707 A1 injection means (25), and via a second reactant injection control (38) to the second reactant injection means (35). In this way, the calculated optimum rates of injection are carried out by the two reactant injection means (25, 35).
The measurements of the said reaction chamber pressure sensor (52) and a temperature sensor (54) is used as a safety feature whereby the hydrogen generation reaction is shut down if the temperature or pressure within the reaction chamber reaches predetermined levels. An upper predetermined reaction chamber pressure is calculated based on the structural integrity of the reaction chamber (10), with the appropriate safety margins. When the sensed pressure within the reaction chamber (10) reaches said upper predetermined pressure, the hydrogen gas generation reaction will be stopped.
In a variation of this first embodiment, the said pressure and temperature measurements within the reaction chamber are also fed to the said microprocessor (50), and are also used to calculate optimum rates of injection for each of the reactants.

The second reactant injection means (35) thus injects the catalyst into the reaction chamber (10) via a second injection port (36).
The third reactant storage (40) is connected to a third reactant injection means (45). This third reactant injection means (45) is designed to inject the third reactant into the reaction chamber (10). In this second embodiment, the third reactant is water or steam and the third reactant injection means (45) comprises a pump and nozzle. The third reactant injection means (45) thus injects the water or steam into the reaction chamber (10) via a third injection port (46). A further variation to this embodiment is the addition of acid or other additives to the water or steam to enhance the hydrogen gas production.
In this way, the three reactants are injected into the reaction chamber (10), thus initiating the chemical reaction which results in the generation of hydrogen gas and some waste products. The hydrogen gas is separated from the waste products in a filter (60), where the waste products are removed via a waste disposal (65). The hydrogen gas is then pumped via a pump (70) into a buffer tank (80), where it is temporarily stored before being used in a fuel cell (90).
