Description

本発明は、内燃機関に供給するガソリン、軽油、又は重油の液体燃料や燃焼ガスの気体燃料とＨＨＯガスの微細気泡を混合させた混合燃料を製造する場合において、電気分解槽でＨＨＯガス微細気泡を大量に発生させることができる炭素繊維電極と、その製造方法に関するものである。  In the case of producing a mixed fuel obtained by mixing a liquid fuel of gasoline, light oil or heavy oil supplied to an internal combustion engine, a gaseous fuel of combustion gas, and a fine bubble of HHO gas, the present invention provides a fine HHO gas bubble in an electrolysis tank. It is related with the carbon fiber electrode which can generate | occur | produce a large amount, and its manufacturing method.

水素原子と酸素原子が２対１の混合比で混ざり合った混合ガスは、ＨＨＯガスあるいはブラウンガスと称され、内燃機関の混合燃料として注目されている。ＨＨＯガスを発生する装置としては、電気分解を利用したＨＨＯガス発生装置が一般的に知られている。  A mixed gas in which hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms are mixed at a mixing ratio of 2 to 1 is called HHO gas or Brown gas, and has attracted attention as a mixed fuel of an internal combustion engine. As an apparatus for generating HHO gas, an HHO gas generator using electrolysis is generally known.

ＨＨＯガスの微細気泡を混合させた混合燃料を内燃機関の燃料として使用するためには、消費電力が少なく、かつ、大量のＨＨＯガスが必要になる。消費電力に比して発生するＨＨＯガス量が少なければ、有効に利用できるエネルギーの割合が低く損失が多いので、エネルギー変換効率の向上が実現できないからである。また、ＨＨＯガス発生装置を自動車に搭載するためには電気分解槽を小型化する必要もある。  In order to use a mixed fuel in which fine bubbles of HHO gas are mixed as fuel for an internal combustion engine, power consumption is small and a large amount of HHO gas is required. This is because if the amount of HHO gas generated relative to the power consumption is small, the rate of energy that can be used effectively is low and the loss is high, so that it is not possible to improve the energy conversion efficiency. In addition, in order to mount the HHO gas generator in an automobile, it is necessary to reduce the size of the electrolysis tank.

従来、水の電気分解において、電極にステンレス等の金属電極を使用すると、エネルギー変換効率が低いことや発熱の問題があり、また、電極に黒鉛の炭素電極を使用すると、エネルギー変換効率は若干改善されるが、電極や水溶液の発熱、電極の折損、又は電極の溶解等の問題があった。  Conventionally, in the electrolysis of water, if a metal electrode such as stainless steel is used as the electrode, there is a problem of low energy conversion efficiency and heat generation, and if a graphite carbon electrode is used as the electrode, the energy conversion efficiency is slightly improved. However, there are problems such as heat generation of electrodes and aqueous solutions, breakage of electrodes, and dissolution of electrodes.

エネルギー変換効率を向上させるため、電極にチタン（Ｔｉ）を有する基材と、この基材の表面にイリジウム（Ｉｒ）を有する触媒層を備え、さらに、この触媒層の上に黒鉛の層を形成された電極、及び、電気分解槽は、不導体の隔壁部材により複数の電気分解室に区別された構造が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。
しかしながら、この方法ではエネルギー変換効率の向上は不充分であり、電極や水の発熱も解決されていないという問題があった。In order to improve energy conversion efficiency, a substrate having titanium (Ti) as an electrode and a catalyst layer having iridium (Ir) on the surface of the substrate are formed, and a graphite layer is formed on the catalyst layer. In the proposed electrode and electrolysis tank, a structure in which a plurality of electrolysis chambers are distinguished by a non-conductive partition member has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
However, this method has a problem that the energy conversion efficiency is not sufficiently improved, and the heat generation of electrodes and water has not been solved.

電極の表面積を大きくすると電気分解の化学反応を促進できるので、電極が可撓性の優れている炭素繊維をプラスチック等の網にらせん状に巻いて陰極を形成する構造が提案されている（特許文献２参照）。  Since the chemical reaction of electrolysis can be promoted by increasing the surface area of the electrode, there has been proposed a structure in which the electrode is spirally wound on a mesh of plastic or the like to form a cathode (Patent) Reference 2).

本発明は上記の問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的は水の電気分解の際に長時間の連続使用によっても消費電力を少なく、ＨＨＯガス発生量を増やし、ＨＨＯガス発生拡散が低下せず、黒鉛の炭素電極に比較し可撓性が優れており、電極が溶解しない炭素繊維電極およびその製造方法を提供することにある。すなわち、エネルギー変換効率を大幅に向上させることを目的としている。  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and its purpose is to reduce power consumption, increase the amount of HHO gas generated, and increase the amount of HHO gas generated even when water is electrolyzed for a long time. An object of the present invention is to provide a carbon fiber electrode that does not decrease diffusion, has excellent flexibility compared with a graphite carbon electrode, and does not dissolve, and a method for producing the same. That is, the object is to greatly improve the energy conversion efficiency.

また、ＨＨＯガス発生装置を自動車に搭載することを想定し、電気分解槽内の電極の配置および構成を改善し、小型・軽量化することを目的としている。  In addition, assuming that the HHO gas generator is mounted on an automobile, the object is to improve the arrangement and configuration of the electrodes in the electrolysis tank, and to reduce the size and weight.

本発明は、水の電気分解によりＨＨＯガス発生量させための電極であって、前記電極が炭素繊維からなる基材は導電性付与剤を混合した熱硬化性樹脂で硬化させたものであって、前記導電性付与剤は、前記熱硬化性樹脂全体の重量比に対し、カーボンナノチューブを１０％〜５０％混合したことを特徴とする炭素繊維電極である。  The present invention is an electrode for generating an amount of HHO gas by electrolysis of water, wherein the electrode is made of a carbon fiber and a base material cured with a thermosetting resin mixed with a conductivity-imparting agent. The conductivity imparting agent is a carbon fiber electrode in which carbon nanotubes are mixed in an amount of 10% to 50% with respect to the weight ratio of the entire thermosetting resin.

水を収容する電気分解槽と、前記電気分解槽内に配置され前記水を電気分解し、ＨＨＯガスを発生する複数のプラス電極と複数のマイナス電極と、を有し、前記プラス電極と前記マイナス電極が炭素繊維からなる基材は前記導電性付与剤を混合した前記熱硬化性樹脂で硬化させたものであって、前記導電性付与剤は、前記熱硬化性樹脂全体の重量比に対し、カーボンナノチューブを１０％〜５０％混合したことを特徴とする前記炭素繊維電極で構成された電気分解槽である。  An electrolysis tank containing water, and a plurality of positive electrodes and a plurality of negative electrodes which are disposed in the electrolysis tank and electrolyze the water to generate HHO gas, and the positive electrode and the negative electrode The substrate made of carbon fiber is a material cured with the thermosetting resin mixed with the conductivity-imparting agent, and the conductivity-imparting agent is based on the total weight ratio of the thermosetting resin. The electrolysis tank composed of the carbon fiber electrode, wherein carbon nanotubes are mixed at 10% to 50%.

前記プラス電極とマイナス電極に対して、パルス状の直流電流が供給されていることを特徴とする電気分解槽である。  The electrolysis tank is characterized in that a pulsed direct current is supplied to the plus electrode and the minus electrode.

前記炭素繊維電極の素材は、導電性が優れており軽量である通常の市販されている炭素繊維を使用する。寸法安定性、熱伝導率、耐摩耗性や耐熱性、耐酸性、電気伝導性といった点で優れた特性を示す等方性ピッチ系炭素繊維であって、厚さは０．２ｍｍ程度が望ましい。  As the material for the carbon fiber electrode, an ordinary commercially available carbon fiber having excellent conductivity and light weight is used. An isotropic pitch-based carbon fiber exhibiting excellent characteristics in terms of dimensional stability, thermal conductivity, wear resistance, heat resistance, acid resistance, and electrical conductivity, and a thickness of about 0.2 mm is desirable.

硬質の前記炭素繊維電極を制作するために、超伝導性を有する熱硬化性樹脂の接着剤を製造する。接着剤の原料は、導電性の高い導電性付与剤を混合する。  In order to produce the hard carbon fiber electrode, an adhesive of a thermosetting resin having superconductivity is manufactured. The raw material of the adhesive is mixed with a highly conductive conductivity imparting agent.

導電性付与剤はカーボンナノチューブを、熱硬化性樹脂全体の重量比に対し１０％〜５０％混合して熱硬化性樹脂の接着剤を製造する第一工程と、炭素繊維を複数重ね合わせ、前記熱硬化性樹脂の接着剤を含浸及びコーティングする第二工程と、赤外線を照射し炭素繊維を固形化させる第三工程と、固形化された炭素繊維を高温炉に入れ、温度は３００℃以上、圧力は３０Ｍｐａ以上で５〜６時間加熱させ、完全炭化し硬化させる第四工程からなる超伝導性を有する炭素繊維電極の基材を製造する方法である。  The conductivity imparting agent is a first step in which carbon nanotubes are mixed at 10% to 50% with respect to the weight ratio of the entire thermosetting resin to produce a thermosetting resin adhesive, and a plurality of carbon fibers are stacked, A second step of impregnating and coating the thermosetting resin adhesive; a third step of irradiating infrared rays to solidify the carbon fiber; and putting the solidified carbon fiber in a high-temperature furnace; The pressure is a method of producing a carbon fiber electrode substrate having superconductivity comprising a fourth step of heating at 30 Mpa or more for 5 to 6 hours to complete carbonization and curing.

炭素繊維電極は金属電極と比較すると、消費電力が少なくＨＨＯガス発生量が増加し、かつ、水の電気分解時に発熱量が低いので水溶液の発熱を抑えることが可能であるため、エネルギー変換効率が大幅に向上する。
具体例として、炭素繊維電極と金属電極が同一面積の場合、消費電力１Ｗ当たりに発生する水素、酸素ガスは３倍の１５ｃｃと増加し、消費電力も１／３から１／５に低減することが検証された。Compared with metal electrodes, the carbon fiber electrode consumes less power, increases the amount of HHO gas generated, and generates less heat during electrolysis of water, so it is possible to suppress the heat generation of the aqueous solution. Greatly improved.
As a specific example, when the carbon fiber electrode and the metal electrode have the same area, the hydrogen and oxygen gas generated per 1 W of power consumption increase to 15 cc, which is tripled, and the power consumption is reduced from 1/3 to 1/5. Was verified.

また、金属電極は使用中にジュール熱が発生するので、電解槽が５０℃から６０℃に温度上昇するが、炭素繊維電極は電解槽の使用環境の温度を維持することができる。このことは、電解槽を隔離室に配置する場合であっても冷却は不要であることを意味する。  Further, since Joule heat is generated during use of the metal electrode, the temperature of the electrolytic cell rises from 50 ° C. to 60 ° C., but the carbon fiber electrode can maintain the temperature of the electrolytic cell usage environment. This means that cooling is not required even when the electrolytic cell is placed in the isolation chamber.

本発明により生成されたＨＨＯガスは微細気泡であるため、気体燃料（例えばＬＰガス）との相性が良いので内燃機関の燃費削減が期待できる。  Since the HHO gas generated according to the present invention is fine bubbles, it has good compatibility with gaseous fuel (for example, LP gas), so that reduction in fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine can be expected.

炭素繊維は可撓性に優れているため、表面積を大きく確保でき、自由なデザインで製造することができ大量生産可能である。また、小型・軽量化されるので、内燃機関の燃料装置に装着が簡単で扱いやすい。  Since carbon fiber is excellent in flexibility, it can secure a large surface area, can be manufactured with a free design, and can be mass-produced. Moreover, since it is reduced in size and weight, it can be easily mounted and handled in the fuel device of the internal combustion engine.

＜炭素繊維電極及びその製造方法＞<Carbon fiber electrode and manufacturing method thereof>

炭素繊維電極の素材は、導電性が優れており軽量である、通常の市販されている炭素繊維を使用する。寸法安定性、熱伝導率、耐摩耗性や耐熱性、耐酸性、電気伝導性といった点で優れた特性を示す等方性ピッチ系炭素繊維であって、厚さは０．２ｍｍ程度が望ましい。  As a material for the carbon fiber electrode, an ordinary commercially available carbon fiber having excellent electrical conductivity and light weight is used. An isotropic pitch-based carbon fiber exhibiting excellent characteristics in terms of dimensional stability, thermal conductivity, wear resistance, heat resistance, acid resistance, and electrical conductivity, and a thickness of about 0.2 mm is desirable.

硬質の炭素繊維電極を制作するために、超伝導性を有する熱硬化性樹脂の接着剤を製造する。接着剤の原料である熱硬化性樹脂に導電性の高い導電性付与剤を混合する。  In order to produce a hard carbon fiber electrode, a superconductive thermosetting resin adhesive is manufactured. A highly conductive conductivity imparting agent is mixed with the thermosetting resin that is the raw material of the adhesive.

導電性付与剤はカーボンナノチューブを、熱硬化性樹脂全体の重量比に対し１０％〜５０％混合して熱硬化性樹脂の接着剤を製造する。導電性付与剤を混合することにより、超伝導に近い熱硬化性樹脂が安価に製造することができる。  The conductivity imparting agent is produced by mixing carbon nanotubes in an amount of 10% to 50% with respect to the weight ratio of the entire thermosetting resin to produce an adhesive for the thermosetting resin. By mixing a conductivity imparting agent, a thermosetting resin close to superconductivity can be produced at a low cost.

可撓性に優れた炭素繊維を複数重ね合わせ、導電性付与剤が混合された超伝導性を有する熱硬化性樹脂の接着剤を含浸及びコーティングし、赤外線を照射し炭素繊維を固形化させる。  A plurality of carbon fibers excellent in flexibility are superposed, impregnated and coated with a superconductive thermosetting resin adhesive mixed with a conductivity imparting agent, and irradiated with infrared rays to solidify the carbon fibers.

固形化された炭素繊維を高温炉に入れ、温度は３００℃以上、圧力は３０Ｍｐａ以上で５〜６時間加熱させ、完全炭化し硬化させる。硬化した後は表面を研磨して仕上げ、炭素繊維電極の結合重合体を制作する。  The solidified carbon fiber is put in a high temperature furnace, heated at a temperature of 300 ° C. or higher and a pressure of 30 Mpa or higher for 5 to 6 hours, completely carbonized and cured. After curing, the surface is polished and finished to produce a carbon fiber electrode bonded polymer.

Using the carbon fiber electrode according to the present invention, electrolysis can be performed by efficiently generating HHO gas by applying a small amount of electric power to an aqueous solution having good electrical conductivity, thereby greatly improving energy conversion efficiency. Providing equipment.

以下、本発明を実施するための実施形態について図を参照しながら説明する。図１は、本発明の実施形態に係る炭素繊維電極の構成例を示す説明図である。炭素繊維電極の陽極１と陰極２を電気分解槽の水溶液３に浸漬されて配置し、陽極１と陰極２は電源に対して電気的に接続されている。  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a carbon fiber electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention. An anode 1 and a cathode 2 of a carbon fiber electrode are disposed so as to be immersed in an aqueous solution 3 of an electrolysis tank, and the anode 1 and the cathode 2 are electrically connected to a power source.

電源が導電性の良い水溶液３内の陽極１と陰極２に対し直流電源を通電することにより、陽極１からは酸素ガスが生成されるとともに陰極２からは水素ガスが生成される。結果として酸素ガスと水素ガスからなるＨＨＯガスが生成される。  By supplying a direct current power source to the anode 1 and the cathode 2 in the aqueous solution 3 having a good electrical conductivity, oxygen gas is generated from the anode 1 and hydrogen gas is generated from the cathode 2. As a result, HHO gas composed of oxygen gas and hydrogen gas is generated.

図２は複数の炭素繊維電極４からなる構造例を示す真上から見た平面図である。  FIG. 2 is a plan view seen from directly above showing a structural example composed of a plurality of carbon fiber electrodes 4.

炭素繊維電極４どうしを約１．５ｍｍ間隔で並行に複数配置し、互いに接触しないように絶縁棒６、絶縁体７、ナット８を用いて形成する。炭素繊維電極４どうしは互いに電気的に接続されないように構成されている。  A plurality of carbon fiber electrodes 4 are arranged in parallel at intervals of about 1.5 mm, and are formed using an insulating rod 6, an insulator 7, and a nut 8 so as not to contact each other. The carbon fiber electrodes 4 are configured not to be electrically connected to each other.

炭素繊維電極４の一端に導電ボルト５を用いて複数の炭素繊維電極４とマイナス電極と結合して、電気的に接続する。また、炭素繊維電極４の他端に導電ボルト５を用いて複数の炭素繊維電極４とプラス電極と結合して、電気的に接続する。したがって、隣り合う炭素電極４どうしはプラスとマイナスが交互になるように、複数のプラス電極とマイナス電極を形成している。  A plurality of carbon fiber electrodes 4 and negative electrodes are coupled to one end of the carbon fiber electrode 4 using a conductive bolt 5 to be electrically connected. Moreover, the other end of the carbon fiber electrode 4 is electrically connected by being coupled to the plurality of carbon fiber electrodes 4 and the plus electrode using the conductive bolt 5. Therefore, a plurality of plus electrodes and minus electrodes are formed so that adjacent carbon electrodes 4 alternate between plus and minus.

図３は電気分解槽の内部構造例を示す側面図である。  FIG. 3 is a side view showing an example of the internal structure of the electrolysis tank.

電気分解槽に水溶液３を収容し、複数の炭素繊維電極４を水溶液３に浸漬されて配置し、プラス電極とマイナス電極は電源９に対し、電気的に接続されている。この電源９は、例えば直流２４Ｖの電源である。  The aqueous solution 3 is accommodated in the electrolysis tank, a plurality of carbon fiber electrodes 4 are immersed in the aqueous solution 3 and arranged, and the plus electrode and the minus electrode are electrically connected to the power source 9. The power source 9 is a DC 24V power source, for example.

図４に示すように、電源９は矩形波のパルス状の直流電流を炭素繊維電極４のプラス電極とマイナス電極に供給することもできる。供給する電流値は２Ａ〜２０Ａである。直流電流が２Ａより小さいと、水の電気分解効率が低下するのでＨＨＯガス発生量が低下し、直流電流が２０Ａより大きいとＨＨＯガス発生量は増えるが消費電力が大きくなるので適さない。  As shown in FIG. 4, the power source 9 can also supply a square-wave pulsed direct current to the plus electrode and the minus electrode of the carbon fiber electrode 4. The supplied current value is 2A to 20A. If the direct current is smaller than 2A, the electrolysis efficiency of water decreases, so the amount of HHO gas generated decreases. If the direct current is larger than 20A, the amount of HHO gas generated increases but the power consumption increases, which is not suitable.

パルス状の直流電流の周波数は１０００ｋＨｚ〜４０００ｋＨｚの範囲内が適切であり、１０００ｋＨｚより小さいと、消費電力が大きくなり、４０００ｋＨｚより大きいと、電流量が多くなり適さない。炭素繊維の固有振動数のｎ倍、またはｎ分の１の周波数が最もエネルギー変換効率が良い（ｎは正の整数）。  The frequency of the pulsed direct current is suitably in the range of 1000 kHz to 4000 kHz. If the frequency is less than 1000 kHz, the power consumption increases. If the frequency is greater than 4000 kHz, the amount of current increases, which is not suitable. A frequency that is n times or 1 / n times the natural frequency of the carbon fiber has the highest energy conversion efficiency (n is a positive integer).

一定直流電流を供給する場合に比較し、パルス波の直流電流を供給すると電気分解槽内の水温上昇を大幅に迎えることができる。このため、電気分解槽に冷却装置の設置は不要である。  Compared with the case where a constant DC current is supplied, if the pulsed DC current is supplied, the temperature of the water in the electrolyzer can be greatly increased. For this reason, it is not necessary to install a cooling device in the electrolysis tank.

As is apparent from the graph, the carbon fiber electrode 4 can generate a large amount of HHO gas with low power consumption.

この実験データから考察すると炭素繊維電極４を使用した場合、電気分解槽内の水温上昇を大幅に迎えることができ、かつ、消費電力が最も少ない。FIG. 5 is a graph showing the required current and the amount of HHO gas generated when the carbon fiber electrode 4 according to the present invention is used, and when the metal electrode (Ti + Ir) and the metal electrode (stainless steel) are used. Although the size of each electrode is the same, the DC current supplied is 4A for the carbon fiber electrode 4, 10A for the metal electrode (Ti + Ir), and 18A for the metal electrode (stainless steel).
Considering from this experimental data, when the carbon fiber electrode 4 is used, the water temperature in the electrolysis tank can be greatly increased, and the power consumption is the smallest.

電気化学電池やあらゆる燃料機関に応用展開できるので、燃料改質装置として産業上有効利用することができる。また導電性の高い炭素繊維電極であるため、燃料電池用の電基板としても利用することができる。  Since it can be applied to electrochemical cells and any fuel engine, it can be effectively used industrially as a fuel reformer. Moreover, since it is a highly conductive carbon fiber electrode, it can also be used as an electric substrate for a fuel cell.
