  • the invention also relates to a method for operating a house energy center.
  • Recombiner is basically known from the prior art. Typically, fuel cell units are flushed on the anode side and electrolysis units on the cathode side (purged) to improve the performance of the fuel cell unit and/or the
  • the hydrogen-containing purge gas is usually diluted with air and released into the environment.
  • a hydrogen-rich purge gas with a quantity of typically approx. 0.3 to 1 NI (standard liter) per kW nominal power is pulsed over a short period of time, for example for a duration of 0.2 to 0.5 seconds released by fuel cell or electrolysis.
  • the object is achieved by a catalytic recombiner for the catalytic, flameless recombining of a hydrogen-containing purge gas originating from a fuel cell unit and/or an electrolysis unit of a domestic energy center.
  • the catalytic recombiner has a reactor housing with a reactor space, an air inlet duct through which air can flow into the reactor housing, a purge inlet duct through which a hydrogen-containing purge gas can flow into the reactor housing, and an exhaust air outlet duct through which heated exhaust air from the Reactor housing can flow out on.
  • the reactor chamber preferably has a pre-reaction stage, a main reaction stage and a post-reaction stage, and a gas-permeable flame barrier is preferably provided between the reactor chamber and the air inlet duct and between the reactor chamber and the exhaust air outlet duct.
  • the pre-reaction stage, the main reaction stage and the post-reaction stage in the reactor chamber are preferably realized by a pre-reaction zone, a main reaction zone and a post-reaction zone inside the reactor chamber and can be spatially defined, for example by separating elements, or result during operation from appropriately set process parameters such as the volume flows of air and hydrogen in combination with the spatial design of the reactor space and the arrangement and design of the air inlet duct and the purge inlet duct.
  • the air flowing through the reactor chamber is preferably allowed to pass more easily to the edges.
  • the reactor space in the pre-reaction stage is preferably designed in such a way that, during operation, the air flowing through the reactor space has increased
  • the reactor space in the main reaction stage preferably has a thermal smoothing stage for reducing temporary and local temperature peaks in the catalyzed purge gas.
  • the thermal smoothing stage can be effected by a distribution of the thermal masses.
  • a mass of 50 g to 300 g of steel or copper or aluminum can preferably be introduced into the main reaction zone as a thermal mass per kW of nominal fuel cell or electrolysis output.
  • This - about 200g steel sheet - corresponds, for example, to a circular disc-shaped perforated sheet with a diameter of 100mm and a thickness of 5mm, in which 50% of the surface are holes, which is installed perpendicular to the direction of flow in a reactor with an internal diameter of 100mm.
  • the thermal mass can be provided in the form of such a perforated plate.
  • Spheres made of iron, copper or aluminum with a diameter of about 2 mm to 6 mm and the same total mass, mixed with the catalytically active material (e.g. the catalyst pellets), have a similarly equalizing effect on the temporal (and somewhat less on the local) variable temperature of the purge gas to be recombined.
  • the reactor space is preferably adiabatic in the after-reaction stage in order to minimize heat losses there and to ensure a reliable start of the recombination reaction even at low hydrogen concentrations in the purge gas.
  • the last zone for the post-reaction stage is designed for a safe start of the reaction and a reliable residual conversion. You can have a heater for this.
  • the invention includes the finding that a hydrogen-containing purge gas can be used for energetic use in a house energy center, since a catalytic Technical conversion of a hydrogen-containing purge gas produces heat at a very useful temperature level, and a catalytic conversion of the otherwise otherwise discharged hydrogen-containing purge gas is environmentally friendly.
  • a reacted hydrogen-containing purge gas can be used to preheat the process water of the house energy center and/or to directly or indirectly preheat room supply air of a recreation room ventilation system.
  • the gas-permeable flame barriers are preferably designed as a sintered disc or as a metal fleece and preferably have pores with an effective pore diameter of between 0.02 mm and 0.5 mm.
  • the catalytic recombiner preferably has or is connected to a heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger can be an exhaust gas-water heat exchanger, an exhaust gas-air heat exchanger or water-water heat exchanger.
  • An exhaust gas/water heat exchanger is preferably provided for preheating the process water of the house energy center.
  • An exhaust gas/air heat exchanger is preferably provided for preheating room supply air of a recreation room ventilation system.
  • Exhaust gas can be understood to mean a catalytically converted purge gas, which can also be diluted and cooled by further admixture of air.
  • the heat exchanger can be realized in that the reactor housing has an inner housing wall, which delimits the reactor chamber, and has an outer housing wall, which is spaced apart from the inner housing wall by an intermediate space.
  • the exhaust air outlet channel can run at least in sections through the intermediate space.
  • the outer housing wall can have a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet, and the intermediate space can be designed as a cooling channel through which a liquid coolant can flow.
  • the pre-reaction stage and the main reaction stage as well as the main reaction stage and the post-reaction stage are each separated from one another by a perforated plate.
  • the main reaction stage can be divided into at least two main stage areas by at least one main stage perforated plate.
  • the perforated plates are preferably connected to the inner housing wall in a manner that conducts heat well for the purpose of heat dissipation. It is also preferred if the at least one main stage perforated sheet has a catalyst coating.
  • the catalytic recombiner has an activation connection and/or a heating element for supplying electrical and/or thermal process energy.
  • the recombiner can be supplied with electrical and/or thermal process energy via the activation connection to activate a catalytic reaction.
  • the catalytic recombiner is preferably supplied with electrical and/or thermal process energy from the domestic energy system.
  • Electrical energy can be provided, for example, by a fuel cell unit and/or an electrical storage unit of a house energy center.
  • Thermal process energy can be provided, for example, by a heating boiler connected to the home energy system control center, for example a pellet boiler.
  • An exhaust gas/water heat exchanger which is suitable for preheating the process water of the domestic energy system, can be used at the same time for the input of thermal process energy, for example via the flow or return of a boiler.
  • the discharge of energy via an exhaust gas/water heat exchanger and/or an exhaust gas/air heat exchanger has the advantage that temperature peaks during the catalytic combustion of the hydrogen-containing purge gas, which can cause damage to the catalyst, are reduced. In this way, even increased fuel concentrations that can occur locally in the catalytic recombiner can be permanently and robustly reduced.
  • the catalytic recombiner has a mixing section for mixing hydrogen with air.
  • the mixing section can have a connection to a house ventilation system, via which air can be introduced into the mixing section of the catalytic recombiner.
  • the pre-reaction stage can be free of a catalyst during operation and can be designed as a mixing stage for mixing hydrogen with air.
  • Flow guide elements and/or inert pellets can be provided in the pre-reaction stage.
  • the catalytic recombiner can be designed as a particularly concentric tube system.
  • the length of the reactor space is preferably greater than its diameter.
  • the catalytic recombiner preferably has a thermal smoothing stage to reduce temporary temperature peaks in the catalyzed purge gas. Short-term concentration peaks can be evened out and dampened by a targeted distribution of the thermal masses at the critical points, especially in the main reaction zone.
  • the thermal masses are preferably well coupled to the catalytically converted purge gas using standard design and fluidic measures.
  • the catalytic recombiner preferably has an adiabatic after-reaction stage with an oxidation catalyst.
  • a catalytically active layer of the catalytic recombiner preferably has a diffusion barrier layer at least in a combustion chamber section, again preferably in the main reaction stage, which preferably consists of aluminum oxide or an inert, temperature-resistant, microporous material or has such.
  • the diffusion barrier layer covers a catalyst-containing layer—that is, for example, a layer containing platinum—so that only a limited amount of purge gas can penetrate through the pores of the diffusion barrier layer to the catalyst.
  • the reaction can be slowed down in a self-locking manner via diffusion of the starting materials, in particular hydrogen and oxygen, and counter-diffusion of the products, in particular water vapor, and favorable temperature smoothing, which is desirable in the area of potentially higher fuel concentrations, can be achieved.
  • the catalytic recombiner can have flow guiding elements for mixing or to support desired edge penetration and/or inert pellets.
  • the catalytic recombiner is designed as a concentric tube.
  • the recombiner designed as a concentric tube system is preferably designed with a cooling channel through which a liquid coolant can flow.
  • the cooling channel can be part of a heat exchanger or can be connected downstream of such a heat exchanger.
  • the catalytic recombiner is particularly preferably designed for nominal operation with 0 to 10% hydrogen in air, regardless of the specific geometric design, so that the reaction temperatures that occur remain below the critical limits for the catalysts and structural materials of the recombiner.
  • the structural materials of the recombiner are preferably austenitic stainless steels.
  • a domestic energy center is also provided with at least one fuel cell unit and an electrolysis unit, the domestic energy center having a catalytic recombiner, in particular a catalytic recombiner as described above, for catalyzing a hydrogen-containing purge gas originating from the fuel cell unit and/or the electrolysis unit.
  • the catalytic recombiner can have suitable electrical heating (e.g. heating cartridges), preferably in the after-reaction stage or in the main reaction stage, in order to heat up the catalytic recombiner before the air flow and purge gas are switched on; the thermal inertia then ensures that the catalyst remains warm enough after the air supply has been switched on to have a high catalytic activity for converting the hydrogen immediately when the hydrogen is added.
  • suitable electrical heating e.g. heating cartridges
  • a heat transfer from the product gas to the educt gas can be provided inside or outside the catalytic recombiner in order to preheat the educt gas and thereby accelerate the recombination in the subsequent stages.
  • H2 can optionally be metered into the air stream within the reaction zone. As a result, very local heat sources can be generated by H2 recombination at higher temperatures (hot spots), which also accelerate the overall reaction.
  • the H2 can be metered in locally multiple times or continuously locally within the catalytic recombiner.
  • several dosing points and/or dosing or mixing via microstructures or a porous body can be provided.
  • an H2 pulse is dampened by upstream accumulators (eg bellows, pressure accumulator). Provision can likewise also be made for the mixture formation to take place via a mixture within a safe, catalyst-free area upstream of the reaction zone.
  • the compressor is preferably constructed according to the displacement principle, for example as a membrane pump, as a dry-running piston pump or as a vane pump.
  • a pressure accumulator preferably has a volume of about 0.5 to 5 liters and a maximum pressure of about 0.3 to 3 bar.
  • Narrow structures (with an effective pore diameter smaller than the extinguishing distance of approx. 0.7 mm), for example sintered metal inserts or metal fleece before and after the reactor space and/or high flow rates can be provided to prevent any flame propagation. Structures with such small cross sections can also be present in the reactor space, for example between the catalyst pellets.
  • the catalytic recombiner can also be designed in such a way that the flow velocity in the reactor space is greater than the flame velocity, in particular greater than 3.5 m/sec.
  • a diffusion barrier (eg a porous layer or a metal fleece or a sintered structure made of metal or ceramic) between the gas mixture and the catalyst can serve for this purpose.
  • the diffusion barrier is preferably a diffusion barrier layer on a respective catalyst pellet.
  • the respective catalyst in particular noble metal catalysts from the platinum metal group such as Pt (platinum) and Pd (palladium), is preferably applied to porous catalyst pellets, for example AhOs pellets.
  • Such catalyst pellets can be coated with a diffusion barrier layer, for example made of porous Al2O3 (without catalyst), which limits the amount of catalyzed purge gas.
  • edge mobility can also be increased in a targeted manner by a corresponding shape of the reactor chamber and/or by inert material, eg uncoated pellets made of Al2O3 or inert metal balls.
  • inert material eg uncoated pellets made of Al2O3 or inert metal balls.
  • An inert mass also acts as a thermally inert mass and dampens local temperature peaks.
  • a lower noble metal concentration at the entrance to the reactor space possibly combined with increased penetration at the edge of the reactor, can also contribute to inhibiting the reaction in areas with a potentially high concentration.
  • a measurement of the temperature at the reactor outlet or in the after-reaction stage and/or in the main reaction stage is preferably also provided. This helps to identify if and when the reaction starts in the reactor space.
  • Measuring the temperature at the reactor outlet when the temperature is too high also allows a malfunction in the system to be detected and appropriate countermeasures to be taken. If the reaction does not start or if the outlet temperatures of the catalytically converted purge gas are too high, the admixture of air upstream of or into the recombiner can also optionally be switched off. Furthermore, a temperature measurement at one or more points allows a robust thermal management of the reactor.
  • thermally inert mass or inert mass of the reactor (wall of the reactor chamber and/or inert material in the reactor chamber and/or the pellet filling), for example in the form of inert metal beads, dampens temperature peaks and enables safe intervention in the event of a fault by measuring the temperature at the reactor outlet or on the outer surface the wall of the reactor room.
  • An advantageous cooling of the catalytic recombiner from the outside can take place, for example, through the main exhaust air flow.
  • An enlargement of the outer surface can also be provided by ribbing.
  • Liquid cooling can also be provided on the outer jacket of the catalytic recombiner.
  • the reactor space can be filled with catalyst pellets.
  • a monolithic catalyst is provided.
  • Catalyst-coated mixer elements can be provided in the reactor space.
  • Coated reactor structures can be provided with or without a diffusion layer, which can optionally be directly thermally coupled to the reactor housing.
  • catalyst supports can be provided in the reactor chamber in the direction of flow.
  • near-wall structures coated upstream can be provided. These enable very good heat dissipation.
  • Catalyst-coated pellets (catalyst pellets) then follow in the direction of flow, which enable moderate heat dissipation.
  • a monolithic catalyst can follow downstream, which offers a largely adiabatic reaction process. The latter is particularly conducive to a quick start of the reaction and good residual conversion.
  • Another aspect is a home energy center with at least one fuel cell unit and/or an electrolysis unit and with a catalytic recombiner of the type presented here, which is integrated into the home energy center to recombine a hydrogen-containing purge gas originating from the fuel cell unit and/or the electrolysis unit using the exhaust air flow is.
  • the catalytic recombiner is preferably integrated into the house energy center in such a way that it can be supplied with electrical and/or thermal process energy from the house energy center to activate a catalytic reaction.
  • the catalytic recombiner is preferably integrated into the house energy center in such a way that heated exhaust air (AL) exiting via the exhaust air outlet duct can be used to heat a recreation room.
  • AL heated exhaust air
  • a device for equalizing the purge gas flow e.g. a purge chamber, in particular a dynamic purge chamber, is preferably connected upstream of the catalytic recombiner.
  • Another aspect relates to a method for operating a house energy center, which has the following steps: Leading a hydrogen-containing purge gas (H2) originating from a fuel cell unit and/or electrolysis unit into the purge inlet channel of the catalytic recombiner, preferably with a volume flow of 2 to 20 m 3 /h per kW nominal power of fuel cell or electrolysis occurring in pulses.

  • the compressor is preferably activated before flushing (purging) of the fuel cell unit and/or electrolysis unit.
  • the compressor is preferably deactivated 5 to 30 seconds after purging the fuel cell unit and/or the electrolysis unit.
  • both the hydrogen volume flow and the air volume flow are pulsed via the buffer container and solenoid valves in such a way that the mixed concentrations are within narrow limits despite the educt volume flows that change over time.
  • both the mixed concentrations as well as before and after the air flow can be set and actively influenced during operation.
