This paper studied the plate-heat transfer type bio-methanol steam reforming reactor for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and its operation performance. The structure of the reactor was designed and optimized with different parameters. It was found that the catalyst particle size had little influence, but at a catalyst loading of 20 g and a feed rate of 1.5 mL/min, the reforming efficiency was the best, with specific hydrogen production, hydrogen production rate, and biomethanol conversion rate reaching certain values. The findings of this study can serve as a scientific reference for the further development of efficient and cost-effective bio-methanol reforming hydrogen production equipment.
In this paper, the plate-heat transfer type bio-methanol steam reforming reactor for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and its operation performance was studied. The structure of the plate-heat transfer type for bio-methanol reforming has been designed and optimized with the application parameters of hydrogen production capacity, hydrogen production rate, bio-methanol conversion rate, volume limitation. Results showed the catalyst particle size has little influence when it less than 0.85 mm; However, when the catalyst loading was 20 g and the feed rate of bio-methanol solution was 1.5 mL/min, the effect of reforming bio-methanol was the best. At this time, the specific hydrogen production was 64.062 mL/gcat.min, the hydrogen production rate was 21.354 mL/s, the biomethanol conversion rate was 82.25%. This paper can provide scientific reference for further research and development of high-efficiency and low-cost bio-methanol reforming hydrogen production equipment.
