    The hydrogen furnace.. These must be some mixing of hydrogen and nitrogen at the curtain.. Sooo there'll be spent hydrogen / nitrogen mix at 2,000 F.. Now that's a fun thing to deal with, is it burnt to heat the process?

  • @JCDJCD13

    @JCDJCD13

    10 ай бұрын

    Yes a small amount of hydrogen does exit the process mixed with the nitrogen. The nitrogen then passes through a flame to burn off the excess hydrogen before it’s released into the atmosphere. It’s not used to add heat to the chamber, the chamber is heated with electric coils temperature controlled electronically.
