Title:
HYDROGEN GENERATOR, AMMONIA COMBUSTION INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND FUEL CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/116679
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a hydrogen generator that can be operated in a broad temperature range. The hydrogen generator comprises a first ammonia converting part (10) having a hydrogen producing material that is reacted with ammonia in a first temperature range to produce hydrogen, a second ammonia converting part (20) having an ammonolysis catalyst that decomposes ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen in a second temperature range, an ammonia supply part (30) for supplying ammonia, and an ammonia supply passage (31) for supplying ammonia from the ammonia supply part into the first and second ammonia converting parts. The first temperature range includes a temperature below the second temperature range. Hydrogen is produced from ammonia by performing switching between the first ammonia converting part and the second ammonia converting part. Also disclosed are an ammonia combustion internal combustion engine and a fuel cell comprising the hydrogen generator.
