Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9935698A2] An energy conversion system is provided for generating heat based on hydrogen catalysis and for transferring the generated heat to a working fluid and utilizing the heat or converting it to mechanical or electrical energy. The energy conversion system comprises a hydrogen catalysis power cell, the power cell comprising a heat transfer assembly having at least one reaction chamber containing the means to dissociate molecular hydrogen gas to atomic hydrogen and a delivery assembly connected in fluid communication to the reaction chamber for delivering hydrogen gas and vaporous catalyst for hydrogen catalysis. The delivery assembly comprises a catalyst vessel for generating the vaporous catalyst, a source of hydrogen gas, and a semi-permeable membrane assembly connected in fluid communication with the hydrogen gas source and the heat transfer assembly. The power cell further comprises means for regulating the temperature of the catalyst vessel and means for regulating the temperature surrounding the semi-permeable membrane. An energy conversion system is also provided having a hydrogen catalysis power cell as described herein, a working fluid for receiving the heat released from hydrogen catalysis, means for converting the heat in the working fluid to mechanical or electrical energy, and preferably means to balance the heat removed by the working fluid with the energy produced by hydrogen catalysis.
