Assignee: MODERN HYDROGEN, INC.
Field: Chemical engineering (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  B  Y | IPC B  C

Claim 10:
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the output is a first output, wherein the pyrolysis reactor includes a first reaction chamber, a second reaction chamber, one or more burners, and one or more valves operably coupled to (1) the supply, (2) the first reaction chamber, (3) the second reaction chamber, and (4) the one or more burners, and wherein:
in a first configuration, the one or more valves:
establish fluid communication between the supply and the first reaction chamber, wherein the first reaction chamber converts at least a first portion of the hydrocarbon in the reaction material into the first output;
establish fluid communication between the first reaction chamber and the one or more burners, wherein the one or more burners combust at least part of the hydrogen gas in the first output to generate a second output that includes hot flue gas; and
establish fluid communication between the one or more burners and the second reaction chamber, wherein the second reaction chamber receives at least part of the second output to absorb heat from the hot flue gas of the second output, and wherein the absorbed heat is at least partially stored in the second reaction chamber; and

in a second configuration, the one or more valves:
establish fluid communication between the and the second reaction chamber, wherein the second reaction chamber converts at least a second portion of the hydrocarbon in the reaction material into a third output that includes hydrogen gas, carbon particulates, and heat;
establish fluid communication between the second reaction chamber and the one or more burners, wherein the one or more burners combust at least part of the hydrogen gas in the third output to generate a fourth output that includes hot flue gas; and
establish fluid communication between the one or more burners and the first reaction chamber, wherein the first reaction chamber receives at least part of the fourth output to absorb heat from the hot flue gas of the fourth output, and wherein the absorbed heat is at least partially stored in the first reaction chamber.
