Claims20
A method for preparing a hydrogen generation reactor chamber to reduce coking, the method comprising:
- applying a cold spray of (a) an alkaline oxide mixed with metal or (b) oxides doped with alkali metal or alkaline earth compounds, mixed with metal, to at least one surface within the chamber.
A method of fabricating a low temperature hydrogen generation reactor chamber for reduced carbon accumulation, the method comprising:
- applying a cold spray of (a) alkali metal and an alkaline oxide mixed with metal or (b) oxides or alkaline earth compounds, mixed with metal to at least one surface within the chamber.
A method of preparing a hydrogen generation reactor chamber to reduce carbon formation on an inner surface of the hydrogen generation reactor chamber, the method comprising:
- applying a cold spray of (a) an alkaline oxide mixed with metal or (b) oxides doped with alkali metal or alkaline earth compounds, mixed with metal, to the inner surface of the hydrogen generation reactor chamber.
A method of preparing a low temperature hydrogen generation reactor chamber to reduce carbon formation on an inner surface of the hydrogen generation reactor chamber, the method comprising:
- spraying a gas-fill mixture, comprising (a) an alkaline oxide mixed with metal or (b) oxides doped with alkali metal or alkaline earth compounds, mixed with metal, to the inner surface of the hydrogen generation reactor chamber.
