Abstract
The system produces, stores, and utilizes Oxyhydrogen gas in scalable quantities for direct or indirect use in multiple applications where process automation and safety features provide continuous duty with a maximum level of safety and a minimum of maintenance. In an embodiment, the system generates Oxyhydrogen Gas using a generator/electrolyzer, a reservoir, a control module, a compression process, flash back arrestor with thermal indication, storage, safety release module, and a utilization burner module and/or a combustion module. In and embodiment There are an additional sub-systems and their components that support production including distilled water, caustic solution, heat exchange, vacuum pump, and De-Foamer.
Claims20
A scalable oxyhydrogen production, storage, and conditioning system configured to process oxyhydrogen gas along a continuous flow path, comprising:
- a generator configured to produce oxyhydrogen gas from an electrolyte solution using electrolysis;
- a reservoir system fluidly coupled to the generator and configured to receive the produced oxyhydrogen gas and separate the oxyhydrogen gas from the electrolyte solution;
- a condensing and drying system fluidly coupled to the reservoir system and configured to remove moisture from the oxyhydrogen gas;
- a gas compressor fluidly coupled to the condensing and drying system and configured to compress the oxyhydrogen gas;
- a storage tank fluidly coupled to the gas compressor and configured to store the compressed oxyhydrogen gas;
- and
- at least one flashback arrestor positioned along the continuous flow path and configured to prevent flame propagation within the system.
A method of producing and conditioning oxyhydrogen gas along a continuous processing path, comprising:
- producing oxyhydrogen gas using an electrolyzer supplied with an electrolyte solution;
- directing the produced oxyhydrogen gas into a reservoir system to separate the oxyhydrogen gas from the electrolyte solution;
- flowing the oxyhydrogen gas from the reservoir system to a condensing and drying system to remove moisture from the oxyhydrogen gas;
- flowing the oxyhydrogen gas from the condensing and drying system to a gas compressor to compress the oxyhydrogen gas;
- flowing the compressed oxyhydrogen gas to a storage tank for storage;
- and
- preventing flame propagation along the continuous processing path using at least one flashback arrestor positioned along the continuous processing path.
