Abstract
A recombination system for catalytic oxidation of hydrogen in storage battery gases includes a gas supply duct which makes it possible for the combustible gas flowing through it to aspirate from the ambient the necessary combustion air, following the principle of a Bunsen burner, and to entrain it to the recombination catalyst. In case of over-supply of gas, an acid separator positioned in the gas supply pipe counteracts the gas aspiration by means of its flow impedance and thereby makes the recombination system safe from overload. It can also be connected following a conventional recombiner, thereby increasing its effectiveness, by receiving the excess hydrogen from same and reacting it with the aid of the air aspiration.
Claims10
Recombiner system for the catalytic oxidation of hydrogen in storage battery gases, said system being applied to the storage battery and connected to it by a gas supply duct, wherein
- the gas supply duct comprises a gas inlet pipe and a connecting pipe having a larger diameter and being concentrically positioned with respect to the gas inlet pipe,
- the connecting pipe having apertures to the outside which provide for automatic aspiration and entrainment of ambient air by the combustible gas flowing through the duct.
