Abstract
Provided is a new heat source device that utilizes the catalytic reaction heat as a heat source for industries. The heat source device 100 utilizing the catalytic reaction heat of silver zeolite 1 includes an accommodation container 10 for accommodating the silver zeolite 1 while ensuring air permeability, wherein the accommodation container 10 is configured to be ventilated with a mixed gas G containing hydrogen, steam, and air. The mixed gas has a hydrogen concentration of 1 to 20% by volume, a steam concentration of 1 to 95% by volume, an air concentration of 1 to 95% by volume, and a temperature of 100° C. or higher.
Claims10
A heat source device utilizing a catalytic reaction heat of silver zeolite, the heat source device comprising
- an accommodation container for accommodating the silver zeolite while ensuring air permeability, wherein
- the accommodation container is configured to be ventilated with a mixed gas containing hydrogen, steam, and air,
- a temperature of the silver zeolite accommodated in the accommodation container at 15° C. to 25° C. becomes 400° C. or higher after one minute has elapsed from the ventilation of the accommodation container with the mixed gas having a temperature of 100° C.,
- the temperature increases due to catalytic reaction between the hydrogen and oxygen from the air in the mixed gas,
- the steam is provided to and does prevent explosive reaction between the hydrogen and the oxygen, and
- the catalytic reaction heat can be utilized as a heat source.
A method for using silver zeolite, wherein
- a catalytic reaction heat generated by ventilating silver zeolite with a mixed gas containing hydrogen, steam, and air is utilized as a heat source, wherein
- the silver zeolite is ventilated with the mixed gas such that a temperature of the silver zeolite at 15° C. to 25° C. becomes 400° C. or higher after one minute has elapsed from the ventilation of the silver zeolite with the mixed gas having a temperature of 100° C., wherein
- the temperature increases due to catalytic reaction between the hydrogen and oxygen from the air in the mixed gas,
- the steam is provided to and does prevent explosive reaction between the hydrogen and the oxygen, and
- the catalytic reaction heat can be utilized as a heat source.
