Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a hydrogen combi boiler that uses hydrogen energy to meet the heating needs of living things with renewable energy sources and operates by generates hydrogen gas within itself.

Prior Art

Most recently, heating in homes has been provided with wood. Following this, the wood with a value of approximately 3600 kcal/kg, which was burned for heating in closed environments, was replaced by coal with a calorific value of approximately 5500 kcal/kg. The coal then went out of the houses and was burned in large boilers with central heating and distributed to the houses. However, it has been realized that the use of coal is harmful to human and environmental health, and that it faces the danger of extinction in the future, it has been replaced by natural gas, which is known as a clean source with the help of the tests on the use of natural gas in homes.

It is clearly seen that the natural gas used in the heating systems used in the state of the art should be given up today. The combi boiler, which is mentioned in the application and has the technical features included in the invention, which is the subject of the application in the state of the art, meets the need with hydrogen, which is a completely renewable energy source.

In existing applications, there is no system that uses hydrogen energy in a controlled manner, has taken the necessary precautions for the safe use of the combi boiler system that will operate with a hydrogen reactor in a closed environment, and has minimized energy consumption.

The hydrogen gas obtained as a result of the separation of water in the inventive hydrogen combi boiler is used as fuel for the combi boilers.

In the state of the art, there is no explanation regarding the technical features and the technical effects provided by the invention of the present application. A combi boiler that operates by generating its own hydrogen is not encountered in the current applications.

Aims of the Invention

The aim of the present invention is to realize a hydrogen combi boiler in which the fuel to be spent for heating is provided from hydrogen, a renewable energy source.

Another aim of this invention is to realize a hydrogen combi boiler that minimizes electrical energy consumption compared to combi boilers used in all closed areas for heating.

Another aim of the present invention is to realize a hydrogen combi boiler that does not need any gas input from the outside to the combi, but realizes gas production within itself.

The hydrogen combi boiler (1) that uses hydrogen energy to meet the heating needs of living things with renewable energy sources mainly comprising of the following; at least one reactor (2) located at the bottom of the boiler (1), which allows the water to be separated into its components so that both hydrogen and oxy hydrogen gas are released by electrolysis method, at least one tank (3), which provides the transmission of the hydrogen gas coming from the reactor (2) to the burner (4) unit, and which ensures that the water is heated and transmitted to the heat exchanger (5) by circulating the mains water through the pipeline, at least one burner (4), which allows hydrogen gas to pass in one direction, has at least one nozzle (8) thereon, and is the part where hydrogen gas is burned, at least one heat exchanger (5), which is positioned on the burning hydrogen gas, provides the connection between the tank (3) line and the radiator line, and ensures that the water coming from the tank (3) is heated as a result of the combustion of hydrogen gas and transmitted to the radiator line, at least one ignition plug (6) that enables the combustion of hydrogen gas as a result of triggering, at least one circulation pump (7), which ensures the circulation of the hot water produced in the combi boiler (1) or the boiler throughout the heating system, at least one nozzle (8), which provides hydrogen gas output at equal pressure, at least one single-way valve (9), which performs the extinguishing process in a way that prevents the hydrogen gas from burning in after ignition through the ignition plug (6), at least one plate heat exchanger (10) with a heat transfer block, at least one flue (11) that allows the non-combustible gas to be released to the atmosphere by means of the suction fan, at least one tank water inlet (12), which is the area where pure water is entered into the system to start the electrolysis process, at least one reactor cooler (13), which ensures that the heat of the reactor (2) is transferred to the mains water, at least one tank gas outlet (14), which ensures that the gas that has come from the reactor (2) to the tank (3) is transmitted to the burner (4), at least one flue connection (15) that connects the flue (11) with the boiler (1), at least one cold water inlet (17), which is the part where the mains water is delivered to the system, at least one hot water outlet (16) that allows the mains water passing through the heat exchanger (5) to be heated by the combustion of hydrogen gas and connected to the radiator line.

The inventive combi boiler (1) consists of the bottom-up reactor (2), the tank (3), the burner (4) and the heat exchanger (5). The reactor (2) is the unit in which water is separated into its components by electrolysis method and hydrogen gas is released. In addition to the electrolysis method, a magnetic field is applied to the water between the plates while the water is separated into its components, and the process of softening the water and minimizing the energy consumption in the electrolysis process is realized. Constant current and stable driving operations of the unit are carried out in the reactor section (2) by means of the control driver unit so as to eliminate the fluctuation during electrolysis Aluminum heat transfer plates are placed on the reactor cells so as to bring the heat released by the reactor (2) unit to the system during the electrolysis process. The heat generated during the electrolysis is recovered into the system by connecting the outlet line of the installation water with the six rows of stainless thermal transfer units arranged in serpentine logic in the tank (3) where the water, which is the main fuel in the extraction of hydrogen gas in the reactor (2) unit, is located.

The burner (4) in this embodiment of the invention is used to transfer the hydrogen gas to the nozzle (8) tips at equal pressure. The burner (4) has a structure that can be balanced in a way that prevents the internal combustion reactions of hydrogen gas. The burner (4) allows the hydrogen gas to pass in one direction. There are ten nozzle (8) outlets in the burner (4). Each nozzle (8) gives an outlet at the same pressure to its mouth. After the ignition is realized through the ignition plug (6), the extinguishing process is carried out within 40 milliseconds, which will prevent the hydrogen gas from burning inside, with the valve (9) and mini compressor gap in the unit. There is a balance and single-way valve (9) unit that will ensure the recovery of the water released as a result of the combustion of hydrogen gas to the reactor (2) unit.

The heat exchanger (5) in this embodiment of the present invention is designed to perform a heat transfer of 3.25 m ³ /h at 60 °C. The area where the hydrogen fire comes into contact is covered with 200 micron ceramic so as not to cause different gas reactions on metal surfaces while the hydrogen gas is burning. This coating prevents the hydrogen gas from entering into a different reaction. The plate heat exchanger (10), located in the upper block of the heat exchanger (5) unit, which does not come into contact with fire, performs the recovery of the inert heat by passing over the circulation of the heated air in this unit. The heat exchanger (5) unit is designed to isolate from the combi boiler (1) and prevent the release of burning hydrogen gas or unbumed inert hydrogen gas into the environment and the non-combustible gas is released to the atmosphere through the suction fan in the flue (11) system. Thus, it is possible to use the combi boiler (1) in closed areas such as homes and workplaces. The combustion chamber (18) is the section where the combustion of hydrogen gas takes place. The electronic panel (19) performs the control operation. The combi boiler (1) can be adjusted, switched on and off by means of the touch screen (20) or with the manual control buttons.

In this embodiment of the invention, pure water is added to the reactor (2) from outside. After the reactor (2) is completely filled, the water flow is interrupted when the lower chamber of the tank (3) is filled with a certain amount of this water. The water in the reactor (2) is separated by the electrolysis method and hydrogen gas is obtained. Hydrogen gas begins to move upwards. The hydrogen gas reaches the burner (4) by passing through the hose in the tank (3) section. The nozzles (8) connected to the upper part of the burner (4) ensure that the gas is transmitted upwards at equal pressure. The hydrogen gas reaching the burner (4) is ignited by the ignition plug (6). The water formed as a result of the ignition is recycled to the reactor (2). There is a heat exchanger (5) on the area where the ignition takes place. The mains water is transmitted to the aluminum heat transfer plate on the reactor (2). Inert heat recovery is achieved by passing the mains water through the pipes around the reactor (2). Said pipeline is connected to the hose nozzle located in the tank (3) section. The incoming water passes through the pipelines and heats up a certain amount with the temperature of the tank (3), and is transmitted to the heat exchanger (5) unit. The water passing through the heat exchanger (5) is completely heated with the ignition of the hydrogen After the ignition is realized, the fire is extinguished before it escapes to the tank (3). The hot water in the heat exchanger (5) is connected to the radiator line. Thus, the heating process is completed. The suction fan in the flue (11) allows the noncombustible gas to be released to the atmosphere.
