The invention relates to physical and chemical technologies for producing heat, hydrogen and oxygen. The device has a casing with a cylindrical tide and a through hole, the lower and upper covers, which form together with the body the lower and upper interelectrode chambers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to physical and chemical technologies and techniques for producing heat, hydrogen and oxygen.

A technical solution is known (see Yakovlev SV, Krasnoborodko IG, Rogov VM The technology of electrochemical water purification .- L .: Stroiizdat, 1987, pp. 207-211, 227-231), containing a housing with Nozzles for supply and removal of the treated solution, an electric discharge chamber with flat and needle electrodes placed in it.

A technical solution is known (see Yakovlev SV, Krasnoborodko IG, Rogov VM The technology of electrochemical water purification .- L .: Stroiizdat, 1987, pp. 207-211, 227-231), containing a housing with Nozzles for supply and removal of the treated solution, an electric discharge chamber with a flat and needle electrode placed in it.

The technical solution described in SU 487665, 15.10.75, C 25 V 9/00, comprising a housing, top and bottom covers, nozzles for the input and output of a working solution, an anode connected to the positive pole of the power source, and a cathode connected to Negative pole of the power supply.

A technical solution is also known (see RF patent No. 2157861, class C 25 V 1/02, 9/00, 2000 - prototype) for the production of thermal energy, hydrogen and oxygen, comprising a housing, top and bottom covers, branch pipes for input and output Working solution, flat anodes located in the upper and lower interelectrode chambers connected to the positive pole of the power source, and rod cathodes connected to the negative pole of the power source.

A disadvantage of the known inventions is that they have flat anodes, to which one contact from an external power source is supplied. As a result, observations show that the intensity of oxygen evolution is greatest in the contact zone of the outer conductor with the flat anode. As the distance from this contact zone is increased, the intensity of the release of oxygen from the anode surface decreases sharply, this indicates that the distribution of the electric potential density along the anode surface, and hence in the solution, is uneven, which reduces the energy efficiency of the electrochemical process and device. The non-uniformity in the distribution of the electric potential density is easily observed from the intensity of oxygen evolution in different zones of the anode. It sharply decreases as you move away from that part of the anode surface where the contact wire is connected.

The technical solution of the problem is to improve the energy performance of the device.

The object is achieved in that the device for obtaining thermal energy, hydrogen and oxygen, comprising a body, upper and lower covers, nozzles for input and output of the working solution, anodes located in the upper and lower interelectrode chambers connected to the positive pole of the power source, and rod The cathodes connected to the negative pole of the power supply are characterized in that the anode located in the anode cavity of the lower interelectrode chamber and the anode located in the upper interelectrode chamber are made in the form of rods connected by a conductor from the outside of the device.

The novelty of the claimed proposal is due to the fact that the rod anodes interconnected by conductors from the outside of the device distribute the contact evenly with the solution of the positive electric potential and thereby increase the energy efficiency of the device for obtaining heat, hydrogen and oxygen.

According to the data of the patent-technical literature, a similar set of characteristics has not been found, which makes it possible to judge the inventive level of the proposal.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The essence of the invention is illustrated by the drawing, in which the figure shows a general view of the device.

DEVICE FOR PRODUCING THERMAL ENERGY, HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN

The device for obtaining heat energy, hydrogen and oxygen comprises a body 1 with a cylindrical conical tide 2 and a through hole 3, a lower 4 and an upper lid 5, a lower 6 and an upper 7 interelectrode chambers, the lower inter-electrode chamber having an anode 8 and a cathode 9 cavity, The anode 10 in the form of rods connected by a conductor from the outside of the bottom cover located in the anode cavity 8, the cathode 11 in the form of a rod of refractory material is inserted into the dielectric rod 12 with an external thread by which it is inserted into the lower interelectrode chamber 6 through a threaded Hole 13 in the bottom cover and is centered in the through hole 3 of the housing 1, the upper interelectrode chamber 7 has an anode 14 made in the form of rods interconnected by a conductor from the outside of the housing and located above the housing 1 and a needle cathode 15 that is inserted into the upper The interelectrode chamber 7 through the threaded hole 16 in its cover 5 is coaxial with the through-hole 3 of the body 1, the nozzle 17 for insertion of the working solution is located in the middle part of the anode cavity 8, the oxygen outlet pipes 18 are installed in the upper part of the anode cavity, the branch pipe 19 for the steam- Mixture is located in the top cover.

DEVICE FOR PRODUCING THERMAL ENERGY, HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN
WORKS AS FOLLOWING

The anode 8 and cathode 9 cavities of the lower interelectrode chamber 6 are filled with a weak solution of alkali or acid through the branch pipe 17 and the necessary solution flow is set. Then the device is connected to the electrical network and gradually increases the voltage until a stable plasma appears in the cathode zone. In the lower cathode cavity 9, the solution is heated to the boiling point with partial decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen released at the rod anode 10 rises to the upper part of the anode cavity 8 and through the nozzles 18 is removed from the anode cavity.

The gaseous molecular hydrogen formed at the plasma-liquid interface collects in the upper part of the cathode cavity 9 and, together with the water vapor and the aqueous solution, exits through the through-hole 3 into the interelectrode chamber 7, in which additional hydrogen is released in the cathode zone and all together with Water vapor and heated solution leaves through the branch pipe 19.

The essence of the plasma electrolytic process lies in the fact that under the action of an electric field between the multiply reduced area of ​​the cathode with respect to the total area of ​​the anode consisting of several rods, an initial stream of alkali metal ions is formed, focused on the cathode. Having a kinetic energy reserve when moving toward the cathode, alkali metal ions separate hydrogen atoms from water molecules H 2 O as a result of which an atomic hydrogen plasma is formed which, when cooled on the plasma-liquid interface, forms hydrogen molecules. Simultaneously, free protons are present in the plasma. Connecting with the electrons emitted by the cathode, they synthesize the hydrogen atoms. The processes of synthesis of atoms and molecules of hydrogen generate more energy than it is spent on the destruction of the water molecule.

Thus, the hydrogen plasma at the cathode is a source of thermal energy transferred to the aqueous solution and a source of atomic and molecular hydrogen and oxygen simultaneously.

It has been experimentally established that the replacement of a flat anode by an anode consisting of rods connected to each other not outside the solution zone but outside it on the outside of the device increases the energy efficiency of the device by 10-15%.
