Title:
ENGINE USING HYDROGEN, DEHYDROGENATION REACTOR, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011058446
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To efficiently transmit heat energy carried by exhaust gas to a fuel side which is low temperature fluid in a dehydrogenation reactor forming hydrogen from fuel such as gasoline by using heat of exhaust gas of an engine.
In the dehydrogenation reactor 21, fluid channels 51 in which fuel is introduced and exhaust gas channels 52 in which exhaust gas is introduced are alternately laminated in a plurality of layers, metal porous bodies 61 (61a, 61b, 61c) are filled in the exhaust gas channels 52, and an average pore diameter of the metal porous body is smaller at a downstream side (61c) than an upstream side (61a) in a view of an exhaust gas flow direction.
