REACTION FURNACE FOR GENERATING WATER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reaction furnace for generating water capable of stably attaining water generation reaction rate exceeding 99% even under the condition that the temp. of the furnace is <=400 deg.C and the generated quantity of water is >=1000 sccm. SOLUTION: The inside of a reaction furnace main body 1 is partitioned into two of upper and lower chambers 14 and 15 by a gas permeable diffusion filter 2. A gaseous starting material being a gaseous mixture of hydrogen with oxygen is fed to the upper part 1st chamber 14 from a gaseous starting material feed port 4 formed on the top wall 12 of the reaction furnace main body 1 and introduced into the lower part 2nd chamber 15 while being diffused by a 1st reflection plate 3 and the diffusion filter 2. Hydrogen and oxygen introduced to the 2nd chamber 15 radically react with each other by bringing it to contact with a platinum catalytic film 5 formed on the peripheral wall 11 and the bottom wall 13 of the reaction furnace main body 1 and the produced water is taken out from a water take-out port 7 of the bottom wall 13. The reaction of hydrogen with oxygen occurs mainly in a narrow space 15a between a 2nd reflection plate 6 and the bottom wall having the size that the outer peripheral part is adjacent to the inner surface of the peripheral wall 11 of the reaction furnace main body 1.
