| 摘要 |
The invention provides an apparatus for generating hydrogen: the apparatus comprising: (a) a reactor vessel; (b) first and second reactant containers linked to the reactor vessel, the first and second reactant containers containing, respectively, first and second reactants which, when mixed, react to form hydrogen gas; (c) one or more pumps for pumping the first and second reactants from the reactant containers to the reactor vessel so that the reactants mix and react to form hydrogen gas, the pumps being selected or set to provide a maximum pumping pressure in the range from 0.1 bar to 10 bar; (d) a buffer tank for receiving hydrogen gas from the reactor vessel; (e) a pressure sensor for measuring pressure of hydrogen gas within the apparatus; and (f) electronic control means for controlling operation of the apparatus, the electronic control means being in communication with the one or more pumps and the pressure sensor and being programmed to control the flow of reactants to the reactor vessel so as to maintain the pressure of hydrogen gas within the apparatus at a value of no more than 10 bar (10 x 105 Pa). |
