Superheated steam production to provide energy source, e.g., for turbines, aircraft rotary wings and chemical reactors, involves catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution and reaction with a fuel for combustion to remove oxygen

摘要

A concentrated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide containing 45%, preferably 60%, H2O2 is catalytically decomposed. The produced hot gas mixture of steam and oxygen is reacted with a fuel in a predetermined amount for complete combustion, in order to remove oxygen from the mixture without air supply, and to obtain high temperature steam mixed only with carbon dioxide gas. Turbulence is created in the catalysed gas flow around the catalyst and/or around the injection of fuel into the catalysed mixture. Initiation of combustion of the fuel is ensured by sparking in case of the absence of ionization of the catalysed mixture and the fuel. Independent claims are given for: (a) a superheated steam generator; and (b) operating units utilizing the superheated steam generator.
