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

Claim 27:
28. The system of claim 25, wherein the output is a first output, wherein the pyrolysis reactor includes a first reaction chamber, a second reaction chamber, one or more pyrolysis 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 pyrolysis burners, and wherein:
in a first configuration, the one or more valves:
direct the reaction material from the supply to 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;
direct at least part of the hydrogen gas in the first output to the one or more burners, wherein the one or more burners combust the hydrogen gas to generate a second output that includes hot flue gas; and
direct the second output to the second reaction chamber, wherein the second reaction chamber absorbs and at least partially stores heat from the hot flue gas of the second output; and

in a second configuration, the one or more valves:
direct the reaction material from the supply to 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;
direct at least part of the hydrogen gas in the third output to the one or more burners, wherein the one or more burners combust the hydrogen gas to generate a fourth output that includes hot flue gas; and
direct the second output to the first reaction chamber, wherein the first reaction chamber receives and absorbs heat from the hot flue gas of the fourth output.
