CATALYTIC HEAT GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F28C3/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: catalytic heat generator contains vortex combustion chamber equipped with axial exhaust connection pipes and consisting of helical swirling header with guide vane and with end walls of hyperbolic form (or close to hyperbolic - in order to make the manufacture easier), and allowing to retain fuel particles in the rotating flow and not to allow their carryover during the specified time up to complete combustion, on inner surface of which there are micro-channels with applied catalyst layer, and differs by the fact that micro-channels are made in the form of three-stage catalytic package including the layer of high-active Pd-Ge-Al₂O₃ - catalyst at the inlet of vortex combustion chamber, the main thermostable catalyst on the basis of Mn hexaaluminate and thin layer of Pd-Mn-La-Al₂O₃ - catalyst at the outlet of vortex combustion chamber.

EFFECT: above described design of generator allows retaining fuel particles in the rotating flow till combustion is completed and at decreased temperatures.
