Abstract

In a composite electrolytic cell having an aqueous electrolyte solution, an inner portion is made of a chemically stable electrically conductive material, and an outer portion is made of a heat-resistant dielectric material. When applying a voltage of over 300 volts and current greater than 1.0 amperes to an anode, a plasma discharge is produced, allowing for low-temperature cold nuclear transmutation nuclear reactions in a near-anode area of the electrolyte, leading to intensive energy release and to the evaporation of electrolyte water, wherein an electrolyte pillar is maintained at a constant level and the function of a cathode is carried out by the inner portion of the electrolytic cell. A device is carried out in the form of an electrolytic vessel having a composite cylindrical housing which is provided with a lid, a level-meter and a dose-dispenser, and which is connected to an electric power supply, wherein an inner portion of the housing, which is made of a chemically-stable electrically-conductive material, carries out the function of a cathode, and an outer portion of the housing and the lid are made of a heat-resistant dielectric material having a thickness of more than 1cm, wherein an anode in the form of a rod having a diameter of 3-10mm and having a sharp end-fitting is installed in the lid, coaxially with the housing, and is submersed in the electrolyte to a depth equal to the diameter of the rod.

Description

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING THERMAL ENERGY BY PLASMA ELECTROLYSIS METHOD

The invention relates to the field of electric power, in particular, to the conversion of electrical energy into heat.

A known method and device for converting electrical energy into heat (RF patent N ° 2355953). This method consists in creating a low-temperature plasma and maintaining its combustion, and setting the combustion temperature by maintaining and connecting it to the network in a different sequence and in a different combination of electrode groups . The specified method is implemented using a device for converting electrical energy into heat, made in the form of an electrode heating installation, comprising a housing equipped with a supply pipe, a group of electrodes placed in the housing, and at least five groups of electrodes are installed in the housing. As a result of plasma-electrochemical effects on water, there is a cluster destruction of the structure of liquid water and an increased coefficient of conversion of electric energy into heat is achieved During the circulation-hand grip and the feed water in the water system, having a heat exchanger succeeds to restore its cluster structure, and heat cycle is repeated

A device is known (RF patent N ° 2258097), consisting of a dielectric cylindrical body with upper and lower covers inserted into the body by means of a thread, an anode located on a cylindrical dielectric rod having a lower tide, an axial hole and inserted by means of a thread into the axial hole of the cover, which, together with the anode and the cylindrical dielectric rod, is screwed by means of a thread into the body, of a cylindrical cathode with an axial hole, by a thread inserted into the cover, a gap between the ends the surface of the cylindrical dielectric rod and cathode, nozzles for oxygen inlet and outlet, a power source connected to the anode and cathode. In the known device, the solution moves into the anode cavity and, having passed the dielectric gap, enters the cathode, heats up in it and goes down through its axial hole.

In addition, a heat cell of a heating battery is known (RF patent NQ2457284), in which heating water from a power source in a pulsed electromagnetic field of a spiral anode allows reducing energy costs for heating a solution circulating in a heating battery.

The disadvantages of the above technical devices for heating liquids are the high structural complexity and energy intensity of the heating process, as well as low productivity of heating elements using traditional mechanisms of known physical processes.

There is also known a method and apparatus for performing a highly efficient exothermic reaction (application NsWO / 2009/125444), the reaction taking place between nickel and hydrogen atoms at a high temperature (from 150 ° to 5000 ° C), while hydrogen is injected into a chamber containing pressed nickel powder, under pressure from 2 to 20 bar.

The disadvantages of this method and device include their lack of effectiveness, complexity and large dimensions.

This invention is selected as a prototype.

The technical problem to which the invention is directed is to increase the efficiency of the method of converting electrical energy into thermal energy through the use of a new nuclear-physical phenomenon of cold transmutation of nuclei, as well as a simple in design and compact in size installation for implementing the developed method, which allows intensive conversion of water in par.

The achievement of the specified technical result in part of the method is ensured by the fact that in a special electrolytic cell (vessel) with an aqueous electrolyte solution, which is a salt or alkali of a certain concentration (see Table 1 -2), when a voltage of more than 300 V and a current of more than 1 are applied , 0 A, a plasma discharge is created on the anode, providing the launch and occurrence of low-temperature nuclear reactions in the anode water space of the electrolyte, leading to intense energy release and intense evaporation of electrolyte water, while the electrolyte column is maintained at a constant level 5, and the inner part of the electrolyte cell performs the function of the cathode.

In terms of the device, the claimed technical result is achieved by the fact that anode 2 is placed in the center of a cylindrical vessel 1 with a diameter of more than 10 cm, made of a high-temperature material in the form of a rod with a diameter of 3 to 10 mm with a sharp tip immersed in electrolyte 3 to a depth corresponding to the diameter rod, moreover, the cathode 1 is the inner case of this vessel, and the outer case of the vessel 4 with a thickness of more than 1 cm is made of heat-resistant plastic, including the bottom 5 and its cover 6, with a thickness of more than 1

15 cm

A diagram of the developed installation for implementing the method of converting electrical energy into heat is presented in FIG. 1, where:

I - the inner vessel body;

20 2 - anode from a rod of high-temperature material;

3 - electrolyte;

4 - outer vessel body;

5 - the bottom of the vessel;

6 - vessel cover;

25 7 - a special power supply unit;

8 - electrolyte level gauge in the housing;

9 - dispenser of poured water;

10 - special hose for supplying tap water;

I I - pipe for the removal of steam;

Zo 12 - a hose of an external steam-heating system;

13 - plasma formation;

Obtaining excess thermal energy using the device of the present invention is achieved as follows.

An electrolyte 3 of a certain concentration and volume is poured into the housing 1 of the device (hereinafter referred to as the heat generator, TPG). On the TPG cover, a special power supply unit 7 is connected to the cathode 1 and anode 2, providing the necessary current and voltage. The level gauge 8 provides a certain level of electrolyte solution, and the dispenser 9 provides a special hose 10 to supply water to this level. On the pipe 1 1 for the removal of steam from TPG put on the hose 12 of the external steam system.

When voltage is applied to the heat generator, a low-temperature plasma formation 13 is formed in the aqueous electrolyte solution and the current flows in the surrounding electrolyte 3. In this case, the plasma is formed due to the blockage of oxygen near the anode space and subsequent discharge in this gas gap. OH– anions are accelerated in this discharge gap until they collide with the anode metal, while receiving sufficient energy — more than 100 eV. In the framework of the model of erzionic catalysis (IEC) (Bazhutov Yu.N., Vereshkov G.M., Kuzmin R.N., Frolov AM // Collection FPINVOF, TsNIIMash, 1990, 67-70; Bazhutov Yu.N., Vereshkov G .M. “New stable hadrons in cosmic rays, their theoretical interpretation and possible role in catalysis of cold nuclear fusion” Preprint 1, TsNIIMash, 1990, p. -56) hydrogen and oxygen nuclei are carriers of anions. An energy of 100 eV becomes enough to release them and get into the metal of the anode, where they turn into neutral erzions, which, in turn, fly out into the near-anode water space. Once in water, the erzions on the deuterium nuclei (H ² ) and on the nuclei of the oxygen isotope O ¹⁷ provide nuclear reactions of erzionic catalysis in accordance with the IEC model. In this case, a large thermal energy is released (about 10 kW at a current in the electrolyte of order A) from the products of a nuclear reaction (H ¹ , H ³ , O ¹⁶ and O ¹⁸ ), which leads to intensive evaporation of water (> 600% compared to standard heating elements)

In particular, in Table 1, in addition to all the main parameters, the intensity of quasineutrons measured on a neutron radiometer is shown, which, as it turned out, demonstrates a count of neutral erzions. Verification of the true neutron flux by the neutron activation method of the indium plate showed the absence of a neutron flux at a measurable level. showed the absence of excess radiation background on the surface of the installation. Table 2 shows data demonstrating the presence of excess heat measured by evaporative m By the same method, in experiments with anodoplasmic electrolysis in all series with a pronounced dependence of the systematic increase in excess heat on increasing the electrolyte concentration. These experiments also demonstrated the production of the tritium isotope, fluorine-20 in the fluoroplastic and the generation of protons with an energy of 4 MeV inside the plastic scintillator in full agreement with predictions of the erzionic catalysis model (see Fig. 1 and 2) Thus, the proposed method and device in terms of generating thermal energy by plasma electrolysis can significantly improve the efficiency of converting electrical energy into thermal energy through the use of a new nuclear-physical phenomenon of cold nuclear transmutation, as well as simplify the design and reduce the dimensions of the installation to implement the developed method.
