UNIT TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN BY WATER THERMO CHEMICAL DECOMPOSITION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B01J7/00 C01B3/02 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to equipment intended for producing hydrogen by water thermo chemical decomposition and can be used to supply hydrogen fuel to power plants and produce hydrogen for processing purposes. Proposed unit comprises hopper with initial components, water tank, hydrogen tank, oxygen tank, heater to maintain thermo chemical cycles and outer heat source connected thereto by heat lines, as well as oxidation reactor and reduction reactor intercommunicated via system to transfer initial components, thermo chemical decomposition intermediate products and finished product that comprise multipurpose valves and accessories. Note that proposed plant comprises power supply, control and adjustment unit, and electrochemical generator that incorporates battery of fuel elements, thermal control system, electric current inversion and transformation unit connected by pipelines with hydrogen and oxygen tanks to supply unit components via said inversion and transformation unit and power supply furnished with appropriate connector assemblies.

EFFECT: higher efficiency due to reduced power consumption.
