TECHNICAL AREA
The present invention relates to the treatment of hydrogen gas and / or oxygen produced by the electrolysis of water.
The filtration and treatment of the gases make it possible to control the physico-chemical parameters such as the composition, the flow rate and the temperature in a stable manner over time for all applications using a heat source resulting from the combustion of combustible gases obtained from of water electrolysis.
The applications are diverse. They may relate to the operations of combustion, depollution of the combustion chamber, welding, brazing, heating or even cutting.
The invention proposes, for its part, a system for treating hydrogen gas and / or oxygen, as well as a device for producing hydrogen and / or oxygen by electrolysis of water used to supply combustion. .
It advantageously finds application for the supply of a gas burner, a combustion chamber or a torch (in particular of the hydrogen type) and more generally for any other application using combustible gases from electrolysis. some water.
BACKGROUND ART AND GENERAL PROBLEM
The electrolysis process allows, for example, the production of oxygen and hydrogen gas in a separate and / or mixed manner. These combustible gases can be used to generate heat in a combustion application such as for combustion operations, pollution control of combustion chambers, welding, brazing, heating or cutting, etc.
However, the gases thus produced by electrolysis are charged with humidity. In order to control the quality of combustion, the humidity of the gases must be reduced, controlled and adjusted to fully meet the needs of the application.
On the other hand, the electrolytes used for the electrolysis of water are 5 aqueous solutions with basic or acidic pH. The wet part of the gas can thus also contain acidic or basic residues. A processing step is therefore necessary.
Once the liquid phase has been separated from the gas phase, the condensate obtained must be removed without constraining the treatment process in progress.
îo In the case where the gases are neutralized and / or washed by bringing them into contact with a liquid, a gas or a solid reactive washing compound, this must be evacuated and / or regenerated in order to continue to ensure effective treatment .
On the other hand, components such as coalescers, filtering media and / or neutralizers need to be replaced in order to guarantee optimal functioning of the system. This replacement must be simplified, inexpensive in operating time, without requiring a complete disassembly of the system.
Another treatment step must also make it possible to retain the millimeter and / or micrometer solid elements carried away by the gas flow.
In addition, certain applications using the combustion of hydrogen gases and / or oxygen produced by electrolysis of water in a separate or mixed manner require a modification of their physico-chemical composition. The gas is thus functionalized by a third chemical compound by contacting with a reagent.
This change in physico-chemical composition must be maintained and controlled precisely over time.
Finally, it is important that the different enclosures and / or containers of the treatment device are compartmentalized from a fluid point of view in order to avoid contamination and that the different media do not mix.
Thus, there is a general need for a system for treating gases resulting from the electrolysis of water used to supply a combustion integrating all or part of the following functions:
• Filtration: separate the liquid phase from the gas, eliminate humidity, eliminate any solid residues, • Washing / Neutralization of gases: remove acid or basic residues from the electrolyte, • Evacuate, reuse the condensates formed, • Evacuate, purge, control the various liquids, solids or gases for washing and / or treatment, • Allow these evacuation, reinjection and control steps not to disturb the operation of the device, • Functionalize the gas by a physico-chemical modification thanks to a third-party chemical compound, in order to control the combustion parameters or to give it additional properties, • Control and stabilize this functionalization over time • Ensure a fluidic compartmentalization of the various washing, treatment and control chambers in order to '' avoid any mixing, contamination of the various liquid, solid or gaseous chemical compounds used in the system
Generators are now known conventionally for the production of oxygen and hydrogen - in individual form or mixed by electrolysis of water. These devices can be associated with a gas burner, a combustion chamber, a torch or any other application using combustible gases from the electrolysis of water.
Such a system notably includes:
an electrolysis cell composed of a container containing electrodes and an electrolyte;
a source of electrical energy to power the electrolysis cell and its auxiliaries such as sensors, cooling systems, for example;
a system for treating gases generated by the electrolysis cell.
As will be understood, gas treatment systems are essential on these generators used to supply combustion in order to allow the gases generated to be purified and / or treated to modify their physico-chemical composition in order to control the combustion parameters and / or to give additional properties to the gases produced.

Figure 3 is a schematic representation of a synthesis of these two embodiments.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL EMBODIMENTS OF
THE INVENTION
First example of a treatment system: Reactive liquid treatment with flow distributor and control by controlling combustion parameters
General structure
In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the gas treatment system receives as input the gases generated by an electrolysis cell 0 and feeds a combustion chamber.
This embodiment of the system, illustrated in FIG. 1, comprises in particular the following elements:
• a gas treatment chamber 4a containing a reactive liquid 2;
• a heat exchanger 1, which is for example constituted by a coil, immersed in the reactive liquid within the enclosure;
• a gas / liquid separation column 5b;
• a gas flow distributor 11.
The enclosure 4a contains a compound which is an organic liquid, an aqueous saline solution or a reactive solid compound with which the gas generates an endothermic or exothermic reaction when it is brought into contact or bubbled.
The reactive liquids could for example be chosen from the following nonexhaustive list: acetone, ethanol, MEK, toluene, methanol, methanoic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, nitric acid, oxalic acid, sulfuric acid, glycols, potassium hydroxide solution , sodium hydroxide solution, bio-sourced body fluids.
The reactive solids may for example be chosen from the following list, without being exhaustive: silica gel, potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, potassium or sodium hydroxide, pre-treated and / or functionalized ceramic materials, such as zeolite or aluminas.
In the case of the embodiment of Example 1, the reactive liquid 2 is acetone.
The system can also include one or more other enclosures (not shown) for treating gases containing liquids or reactive solids or a washing solution. Said enclosures are then traversed or not by a heat exchanger.
Similarly, it is possible to provide one or more other gas / liquid separation columns.
Fluid circulation diagram
In the case of the electrolysis of water, the gases generated are hydrogen and oxygen, obtained simultaneously in the electrolysis cell 0. The temperature and the flow rate of the gas flow are measured at the outlet of cell by a temperature sensor and a flow meter noted 12b.
The gases are brought into thermal contact through the wall of the exchanger 1, itself cooled by the reactive liquid 2 in which it is immersed. The temperature of the gases, thus reduced, is again measured by a temperature sensor 12b at the outlet of the container 4a.
The gas flow is then injected into the gas / liquid separation column 5b through a coalescer 5a.
Such a coalescer is for example a sieve, a frit or a foam, and more generally any structure which forces, mechanically or chemically, a transfer to the liquid state of the species present in the gas flow in the form of vapor, and then allows the gas / liquid separation.
It is arranged, on the path of the gas in the pipes, in a dedicated housing 7a. This housing is easily opened relative to the pipe, which allows easy and direct access to the coalescer without complete disassembly of the system and in particular of the pipes.
The condensates thus formed in column 5b are separated by gravity and stored in the lower part of the column.
Depending on the level of condensate determined by the sensor 12b placed at the bottom of the column, a condensate recycling / draining system
9 composed of a pump 9a, a solenoid valve 10b, controlled by the electronic card 12a, reinjects the liquid condensates thus formed in the electrolysis cell 0 or discharges them towards the outside of the system.
In the upper part of the gas / liquid separation column 5b, the gas flow passes for example through a filtering medium 6.
ίο
This filtering medium is for example of membrane type. It filters on the millimeter, micrometer or nanometer scale. It can more generally be any material making it possible to trap the solid elements carried away by the gas flow.
Also, the filter media may be pretreated and functionalized to improve its efficiency. This filter 6 retains any solid particles carried away by the gas flow and allows its chemical neutralization, for example, in terms of pH.
After passing through a non-return valve 10a, the gases separate into two separate flows: one is sent into the liquid of the enclosure 4a, and the other towards the outlet, by means of a distribution system debit 11.
This system 11 makes it possible to dose the two flows by using the pressure drop which it induces by its design which can, for example, implement a fluid restriction or an instrument controlled manually or automatically by the electronic card 12a.
Such flow distribution systems can also be provided for controlling the entry of gas into the other enclosure (s) when the system includes several.
Part of the gas flow is thus directed towards the enclosure 4a and then passes into the reactive liquid 2. This causes a physicochemical modification of the gas flow, and allows the cooling of the reactive liquid, and thus of the enclosure 4a and of exchanger 1.
Leaving the enclosure 4a, the modified gases are then mixed with the unmodified flow coming from the flow distribution system 11. The adjustment of the two flows using the system 11 thus makes it possible to obtain a particular, predefined composition, before combustion.
The combustion carried out at the end of the fluidic circuit is, for example controlled by a combustion analyzer 12b allowing its adjustment and its control by the electronic card 12a.
In another variant, the reaction of the reactive liquid 2 through which the gas flow passes can be exothermic and allow it to heat up.
This mode of implementation particularly advantageously applies in cases where the gases produced by electrolysis must be kept at a minimum temperature. The heating thus produced makes it possible, for example, to avoid the formation of gel in the gas treatment device,
The temperature of the gas is thus managed in order to ensure physico-chemical properties compatible with its exploitation.
In what follows we are interested in the parameters on which the processing system which has just been described influences.
Humidity rate: Optimized gas / liquid separation
In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the humidity level of the gas leaving the electrolysis cell 0 is greatly reduced thanks to the combination of the enclosure 4a, the exchanger 1, the separation column 5b, coalescer 5a and reactive liquid 2 which is acetone.
The endothermic properties of the reactive liquid are used here to cool the gas flow and allow a particularly effective coalescence in the coalescer component 5a thanks to the reduction in the pink point of the gas. The thus increased efficiency at the coalescer 5a allows maximum separation of the liquid phase contained in the gas and the recovery of condensate in the lower part of the separation column 5b.
A thermal bridge 8 allows the column 5b to benefit from the cooling generated by the endothermic reaction in the enclosure 4a. This thermal bridge 8 is produced in the example by a mechanical connection (for example a metal block welded or assembled by screws between the two containers). The heat exchange between the two containers causes the gas / liquid separation column to cool, thereby further improving its filtration and / or separation by condensation capacity.
On the other hand, this gas / liquid separation system using a modification of the gas temperature also has the advantage of self-regulating the increase in its filtration efficiency as a function of the gas flow rate.
îo Acid and basic residues: Neutralization by a functionalized filter medium
In an alkaline electrolyser-type electrolysis cell, gas is produced at high pH. It is therefore particularly important to make the gas neutral in order to ensure controlled combustion parameters, and to protect, for example, possible corrosion of the various components and containers of the system.
At the outlet of the coalescer 5a, the gas is freed of a large part of the moisture coming from the electrolysis cell 0 thanks to the combination of components which ensure the gas / liquid separation and optimize the coalescence.
However, residual moisture with a high pH may remain. Using a filter medium 6, possibly functional, it is possible to act on the pH of the gas.
Condensate management: Condensate control and recycling
Liquid condensates must be controlled and removed without constraining the filtration process underway in the column.
This is what allows the assembly 9, constituted by the liquid level sensor 12b, the condensate pump 9a, the solenoid valve 10b, the non-return valve 10a and the electronic card 12a.
The liquid condensates thus formed constitute a basic or acidic aqueous solution 5, which, when the level is detected by the sensor 12b within the column 5b, triggers readmission by pumping to the electrolysis cell 0.
On the other hand, it can be chosen not to recycle the condensates towards the electrolysis cell 0 but to evacuate them towards the outside of the system, for example if the liquid level of the electrolyser is already at its maximum. In this case, the solenoid valve 10b transfers the liquid to the drain plug where a reservoir previously put in place thus collects the condensate outside the device.
The recycling of condensates to the electrolysis cell 0 or their evacuation, by means of the components and instruments which it implements, does not disturb the filtration process in progress.
Reagent management: Control, emptying, renewal of reagents and filter elements and coalescers
In use, the reagents used to modify the physicochemical composition and the filtering and coalescing elements must be replaced to ensure optimal efficiency of the process.
The plug 9b allows manual renewal of the reagents, for example the acetone in the enclosure 4a. In another embodiment, this addition of liquid can be carried out automatically with a pump, actuated by the electronic card 12a and a level sensor 12b placed in the enclosure.
4a. For complete renewal of the reactive liquid, the drain plug 9b allows the complete manual emptying of the enclosure 4a.
To allow easy replacement of the coalescer 5a, it can be provided that the coalescer is located in a sealed housing 7a allowing its extraction and replacement without having to dismantle all of the tubes which ensure the circulation of fluids.
Similarly, the filter medium 6, placed in column 5b, can be fixed to a plug 7b which, when the system is stopped, allows it to be replaced simply and quickly and does not require complete disassembly of the system.
îo Filtration of solid elements: membrane filter media
With a high flow rate, the gas flow can carry solid residues such as metallic particles which must be filtered in order not to damage the other elements of the device.
The filter medium 6, in addition to its neutralization function described above in the example, retains these solid elements and thus rids the gas of any impurities greater than the diameter of these pores. In the case of FIG. 1, the filtering medium is a paper filter with a pore opening on the order of about 1 μm.
Physico-chemical modification of gases
In order to achieve particular combustion properties such as a combustion temperature, an odor, a flame color, a level of optical radiation, a rate of combustion products, the gases are functionalized by the combination of all or part different functions / stages of gas flow treatment performed by the parts of the device.
In the case of FIG. 1, this modification is made by passing the gas flow through the reactive liquid 2 of the enclosure 4a. In addition to the generation of cold, useful for optimizing the liquid gas separation process via coalescence, the gas physico-chemically modified by the reactive liquid is taken to combustion and allows it to give it special properties.
This physico-chemical modification with acetone also makes it possible to give an odor to the gas, making it possible to detect a possible leak or a defect in combustion.
Physico-chemical management of gases: Instrumentation, regulation îo These physico-chemical properties are controlled, for example, via the combustion analyzer 12b placed close to combustion. Predefined target rates and / or values are reached by regulating, manually or automatically using an electronic card 12a, the pressure drop induced by the flow distribution system 11 by narrowing or increasing the fluid diameter, which deflects part of the flow original gas to the treatment container.
This system allows precise control of the combustion at the end of the invention in terms of flow rate, temperature and chemical composition, and this, in a sustainable manner and in a repeatable manner.
Fluid compartmentalization: Safety and anti-contamination devices
Components, such as non-return valves 10a for example, make it possible to ensure the safety of the device and of people and good fluid compartmentation between the different containers. These make it possible to avoid the unwanted movement of liquids and / or gases between the enclosures, to guarantee their physicochemical integrity (contamination) as well as their functional performance, their renewals, their recycling and / or their emptying.
Second example of embodiment of the treatment system: Treatment with reactive solid, liquid washing without flow distributor and control by controlling the parameters of physico-chemical composition of the gas flow
Fluid structure and circulation
This embodiment of the system, compared with the first exemplary embodiment and illustrated in FIG. 2, comprises in particular the following elements:
- an enclosure 4a filled in this case with a reactive solid 3,
- a washing chamber 4b,
an exchanger 1, which is for example constituted by a coil, which plunges into the reactive solid 3.
The temperature of the gas is measured at the outlet of the electrolysis cell 0 by a temperature sensor 12b before being sent to the enclosure 4a. in contact with the reactive solid 3. In contact with the wet gas, the reactive solid 3 causes an endothermic reaction which cools the heat exchanger 1, the gases which pass through it, and the entire enclosure 4a.
The reactive solid 3 is in a divided form such as a powder in order to maximize the gas / solid contact surface or also in the form of granules, millimeter-sized objects or in massive form.
In the example of FIG. 2, it consists of potassium nitrate in granules.
The gas flow is then sent to the enclosure 4b and bubbled through the washing liquid, in this case, in this case pure water. In this enclosure, the gas is cleaned of potassium nitrate residues. The mechanical connection 8 forms a thermal bridge between the chambers 4a and 4b.
The washing liquid is renewed automatically by a system 9 composed of a pump 9d protected by a non-return valve 10a and a discharge valve 10b.
After washing, the temperature of the gas flow then decreases by heat exchange in the exchanger 1 contained in the enclosure 4a.
It is then injected into the gas / liquid separation column 5b through a coalescer 5a. This can be a metallic fabric with a mesh size of 150 μm, and allows separation by coalescence of the liquid phase and the gas phase. The condensates thus formed are separated by gravity in the lower part of column 5b. The level of the condensates is measured by means of the level sensors 12b.
In the upper part of the gas / liquid separation column 5b, the gas flow passes through a filtering medium 6 which is, for example, a metallic fabric containing grains of zeolites. This adsorption compound absorbs the remaining moisture in the gas. A filter plug system 7b allows easy replacement of this filter cartridge at regular intervals in order to renew the filter 6. This filter also retains any solid particles carried away by the gas flow.
At the outlet of column 5b, the gas analyzer 12b measures the relative humidity rate, the potassium hydroxide rate and the residual potassium nitrate rate.
At the outlet, the gas is suitable for being used in combustion requiring a predefined and controlled rate of relative humidity and purity.
Humidity rate: Optimized gas / liquid separation
In the same way as in embodiment 1, the cooling of the gas makes it possible to optimize the gas / liquid separation by lowering the dew point of the gas flowing in the coil and by facilitating its coalescence and its condensation in the coalescer 5a and in the gas / liquid separation column 5b. However, in this case, the reactive solid is potassium nitrate in the form of granules which is chosen for its cooling properties in contact with wet gas.
Alternatively, and for other types of applications, the reactive solid can be chosen for its exothermic properties: for example, potassium or sodium hydroxide in the form of granules, pre-treated and / or functionalized ceramic materials, etc.
Acid and basic residues: Cleaning with washing liquid
Bubbling in a washing liquid such as water makes it possible to dilute these residues in the liquid and to clean the gas. The gas is thus charged with humidity, but purified of basic or acid residues which could modify its pH.
A regular renewal of the washing water is ensured so that the concentration of water in residues remains low and allows an effective cleaning by dilution.
Finally, when they pass through the filter 6, the last moisture residues which may possibly be still charged with ionic residues, are adsorbed in the pores of the zeolite.
Reagent management: Control, emptying, renewal of reagents and filter elements and coalescers.
The management of the reagents is carried out in a similar manner to embodiment 1 with the difference that the reagent is here of the solid type.
An addition of reactive solid can be carried out manually by unscrewing the plate 9b, allowing the evacuation of the used reactive solid and the addition of a new batch of new granules up to the level controlled by the sensor 12b. In another embodiment, specifically in the use of a solid type reagent, this addition of granules can be carried out automatically by an addition system with blades or hopper, actuated by an electronic card 12a, isolated by a gas backflow preventer.
The washing liquid is itself regularly renewed by the system 9 consisting of a pump 9d, protected by a non-return valve 10a. The used liquid is discharged through a pilot valve 10b.
Physico-chemical modification of gases
As in embodiment 1, the gas is first modified by contact with a reagent, in this case potassium nitrate. However, in this specific embodiment, it is not desired that the gas is enriched with potassium nitrate at the outlet of the device. Thus, a second modification phase is carried out, it consists of a purification step, with a washing liquid, in order to clean the gases of any potassium nitrate residues.
Physico-chemical management of gases: Instrumentation, regulation
In this embodiment, the gas is controlled by an analyzer 12b at the outlet of column 5b which verifies that the humidity, potassium nitrate and pH levels are lower than predefined levels.
The measured values make it possible in particular to control the effectiveness of the various treatments and to activate the renewal of the reactive solid or of the washing liquid if necessary in order to ensure a gas composition which can be used in a repeatable and controlled manner.
