Abstract

A hydrogen purification system (10) that is used to separate hydrogen gas from a source gas . The hydrogen purification system (10) has a hydrogen separator (20) into which the source gas is permitted to flow. Within the hydrogen separator (20) is at least one hydrogen permeable tube (40) that is made of a hydrogen permeable material. A support tube (30) is provided for each hydrogen permeable tube (40) . A support tube (30) is coaxially aligned with the hydrogen permeable tube (40), wherein a gap space (42) exists between the hydrogen permeable tube (40) and the support tube (30) in an area of overlap. The source gas is introduced into the gap space (42) . The source gas spreads thinly over the hydrogen permeable tube (40) in the gap space (42) . Hydrogen from the source gas passes through the hydrogen permeable tube (40) in a highly efficient manner and is collected.
