WAYS TO INCREASE THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF THERMOCATALYTIC REACTORS

Abstract

Modern thermocatalytic reactors for gas cleaning must have high productivity and ensure continuity of the process. For catalytic purification, devices with different methods of interaction with the catalyst and functional purpose are used. To increase the energy efficiency of thermocatalytic reactors, it is advisable to use alternative energy sources, in particular, solar panels. Taking into account the advantages of solar panels, in particular, economy, reliability, environmental friendliness, availability, durability, safety, efficiency and energy saving, a thermocatalytic reactor with a solar battery is proposed. emissions.

The equation of heat balance is proposed, according to which it is possible to clearly identify the main sources of heat inflow and outflow in a thermocatalytic reactor. Heat costs for the catalysis process should be compensated by the converted energy of the Sun in the solar cell. The amount of energy produced in a solar cell depends largely on its power and insolation. The installation of solar panels increases the energy efficiency of thermocatalytic reactors, which improves the process of cleaning emissions and makes catalysis more cost-effective, especially in the summer. Given the characteristics of emissions from a single source, it is possible to determine the required number and capacity of solar panels for a catalytic reactor in each case.
