 INTRODUCTION:
Hydro-gas stoves are the alternatives for
the present fuel stoves.
These use hydrogen gas as a fuel.
Basically this equipment is made because
of to make the pollution free environment.
The hydrogen gas in abundant in universe,
the solar system and other stars are burning
throughout the long period by using this
hydrogen gas.
The alternate methods to produce
hydrogen are made in Australia first by YULL
BROWN

 PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
At room temperature hydrogen is a gas.
It is a colorless, tasteless and odorless gas.
It is non toxic,highly combustable diatomic gas.
It is the lightest gas
It is insoluble in water.
It is highly inflammable and burns with blue
flame forming water.
Liquefication temperature of hydrogen is -252oC.
Bond energy of H-H is 431 Kj/mole.
Electro negativity of hydrogen is 2.1.
Ionization potential of hydrogen gas is 13.54
electron volt.

 BURNING PROPERTIES :

Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form

water and this reaction is very slow at
ambient temperature, but if it is
accelerated with catalyser like platinum or
an electric spark , it made with explosive
violence.

The heat produced from hydrogen gas

stove is more compared to electric heaters
and natural gas.

LITERATURE REVEIW:
Methods of manufacture:
The manufacture process of hydrogen
gas stove is based on design of the burner.
1. Burner without catalyst.
2. Burner with catalyst.
a. Catalyst having flame assistance.
b. Catalyst not having flame
assistance.

8/18
1. Burner without catalyst.
This is the design of the burner in
hydrogen gas stoves without using
the catalyst but by preheating of air.
But it is the uncontrolled reaction
that produces heavy amounts of
heat.

9/18
 2. Burners with catalyst.
These are the burners having the
catalyst on which the air fuel reaction
occurs. The catalyst is mainly used to
acheive the reaction before the
reaction temperatures. The main
purpose of catalyst is to control the
high temperatures where the
nitroxides forms.

SELECTION OF THE PROCESS:

As per the literature that I had

gathered previously. The best process
in the manufacture of the hydrogen gas
stoves is using the catalytic burner.
The reasons for this are
1. we can use a catalyst to lower the
combustion temperature thus
preventing the formation of nitrogen
oxides.

13/18
2.To reduce the burner area.
3. Hydrogen and oxygen are thus
combined on
the surface of the catalyst at a
slower rate
than would occur without the
catalyst.
4. NOx emission levels between 1
and 5 parts per million (ppm) for a
catalytic assisted burner. Where as
for lpg stoves it ranges from 40-250
14/18
5. The range of efficiencies commonly
reported in technical literature is 85100%.
Efficiency is high because the combustion
takes place at a substantially lower
temperature than under ordinary
conditions.

6. The radiant heat available from the

Platinum catalyst is long wavelength infra-
red radiation similar to the suns own rays.
