DIHYDROGEN GENERATOR

To provide a dihydrogen generator.SOLUTION: A dihydrogen generator includes: an enclosure, the interior space of which is defined for containing a reactive liquid; a porous catalyst support housed in the interior space of the enclosure, the catalysis support being porous and impregnable by the reactive liquid, and comprising a dihydrogen-generating reactive catalyst from the reactive liquid; and heating means. The catalyst support is configured to be heated by the heating means other than the heat transfer consisting of convective heat exchange with the reactive liquid, conductive heat exchange with the reactive liquid, and radiation from a heat source away from the catalysis support. The catalyst support comprises a solid foam formed with an electroconductive material that is graphite and/or a metal-formed carbon. The dihydrogen generator includes a catalyst housing stored inside the interior space of the enclosure. The catalyst housing includes a first part and a second part, which define a catalyst chamber in which the catalyst support is stored. The first part and the second part can move to each other between a closed position in which the catalyst chamber is hermetically sealed and an open position in which the catalyst chamber is brought into fluid communication with the interior space of the enclosure.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
