  • High temperature electrolyser system optimized by increasing the pressure at the electrolyser output
    Patent number: 12618161
    Abstract: A system including 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.
