METHOD FOR OBTAINING THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY, HYDROGEN AND A DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC F24V30/00 H02N3/00 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electric power and hydrogen energy and can be used in sources of thermal and electrical energy and simultaneously to produce hydrogen. The method provides for setting the plasma reactor to the mode of abnormally high thermal energy release by monitoring the X-ray radiation measured near the cathode 7 and changing the parameters of the high-voltage pulse component: amplitude, frequency and duty cycle, so that the X-ray radiation is in the range from 1 to 10 keV, as well as reducing the supply of inert gas according to the results of X-ray radiation monitoring near the cathode 7 and the heat generated. In addition, a heterogeneous vortex flow of an inert gas is formed in combination with a reflected vortex flow, and water or an aqueous suspension of fine particles of a hydride-forming metal is introduced as a reagent. To do this, an X-ray detector 21 is installed in the plasma reactor on the outer shell of the pipe 1 closer to the cathode, and a generator of combined voltage 5a and 5b with continuous current and high-voltage pulse components has the ability to change the parameters of the high-voltage pulse component: amplitude, frequency and duty cycle. The outlet pipe 26 is mounted on the outer shell of the pipe between its outlet end and the anode 3, and the heat exchanger 8, designed to remove thermal energy, is placed on the outer shell of the pipe 1 between its inlet end and outlet pipe 26. The plasma reactor is equipped with a reagent preparation unit 11 connected to the reagent supply unit 12. Electricity is removed by installing MHD generator 20 at the output of ionized plasma from the electric discharge zone of the reactor.

EFFECT: expansion of the range of methods for obtaining thermal and electric energy.
