Title:
ALL-IN-ONE CHEMICAL HYDRIDE HYDROGEN GENERATION APPARATUS HAVING BY-PRODUCT STORAGE CHAMBER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/018994
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an all-in-one chemical hydride hydrogen generation apparatus having a by-product storage chamber, and more specifically, to an all-in-one chemical hydride hydrogen generation apparatus having a by-product storage chamber in which, by having components needed for generating hydrogen in an all-in-one body, by-products generated during the hydrogen generation process are easily disposed, and hydrogen is easily discharged and stored. The apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a fuel chamber for storing fuel which reacts with a catalyst to generate hydrogen; a fuel supply pipe for transporting the fuel so as to induce a reaction between the fuel in the fuel chamber and the catalyst; a catalytic reaction unit, which is provided with the catalyst, and in which the hydrogen-generating reaction occurs between the catalyst and the fuel supplied from the fuel chamber via the fuel supply pipe; a temporary by-product storage chamber for receiving and temporarily storing the hydrogen and by-products generated in the catalytic reaction unit; a hydrogen storage chamber for storing the hydrogen, which is pushed out due to the pressure of the hydrogen generated in the catalytic reaction unit, from the temporary by-product storage chamber; a by-product water level sensor for transmitting a by-product discharge signal by analyzing the by-product water level inside the temporary by-product storage chamber; a control unit for receiving the by-product discharge signal from the by-product water level sensor and for halting the operation of the fuel supply pump; and a power supply unit for supplying driving power to the fuel supply pump and the by-product storage chamber which stores the by-product from the temporary by-product storage chamber so as to discharge the by-product to the outside. The present invention has the advantage of facilitating the disposal of the by-product by allowing the by-product water level sensor and the control unit of the hydrogen generation apparatus to store, in the temporary storage chamber, and then to discharge same without requiring a user to set by-product disposal times to regularly dispose the by-product.
