  • Publication number: 20230399764
    Abstract: A system includes a high temperature electrolyser, a first supply line of the electrolyser configured to supply the electrolyser with steam, a first discharge line of the electrolyser configured to discharge dihydrogen from the electrolyser, a second discharge line of the electrolyser configured to discharge dioxygen from the electrolyser, a first heat exchange module configured to ensure a heat exchange between the first supply line and the first dihydrogen discharge line, and a steam generator arranged on the first supply line, upstream from the first heat exchange module, and configured to produce steam from liquid water. The system also includes a module for depressing a section of the first supply line and having an expansion device and a compressor. The expansion device is arranged on the first supply line upstream from the steam generator, and the compressor is arranged on the first supply line downstream from the steam generator.

  • Publication number: 20230392267
    Abstract: A system includes a high temperature electrolyser, a first supply line of the electrolyser configured to supply steam, a first discharge line of the electrolyser configured to discharge dihydrogen, a second discharge line of the electrolyser configured to discharge dioxygen, a first heat exchange module configured to provide heat exchange between the first supply line and the first discharge line, and a steam generator arranged on the first supply line and configured to produce steam from liquid water. The system also includes a module for recovering thermal energy from the dihydrogen at the output of the module for the benefit of the first steam supply line, the module having a compressor arranged in the first discharge line and configured to compress the dihydrogen, and a first heat exchanger arranged between the first supply line and the first discharge line to transmit thermal energy of the compressed dihydrogen to liquid water.

  • Publication number: 20220356587
    Abstract: A system includes a high temperature electrolyser, a first line for supplying the electrolyser to supply the electrolyser with steam, a first line for discharging the electrolyser to discharge dihydrogen from the electrolyser, a second line for discharging the electrolyser to discharge dioxygen from the electrolyser, a first heat exchange module to ensure a heat exchange between the first steam supply line and the first dihydrogen discharge line. The system also includes a steam ejector arranged downstream from the first heat exchange module on the first dihydrogen discharge line to inject steam into the first dihydrogen discharge line. The system relates to the field of high temperature electrolysis of water, also with solid oxide and that of solid oxide fuel cells. It applies particularly to optimise the energy consumption of an SOEC electrolyser system.
