Study On Excess Heat Triggered By Temperature And Pressure Change In A H-Pd Gas-Loading System

After hydrogen (H) or deuterium (D) atoms are charged into palladium (Pd) lattice by means of gas loading method at atmosphere pressure based on the character that Pd can absorb a lot of H/D gas very easily, a certain loading ratio (x, that is, atom amount ratio of H/D in Pd lattice) is obtained. Then the effects of temperature or pressure and current on production of excess heat in Pd wires with a certain loading ratios are studied in order to find out the condition under which factors that could affect the excess heat. The experiment results show that there were a quantity of "excess heat" in almost every temperature condition and pressure condition.By comparing the system constants (k=△/T/△P) in both nitrogen and hydrogen environment we found an optimum current (8A) and a hydrogen pressure (9×104Pa) in which the system could release a maximum excess power (more than90W). The reproducibility was12/12and the total excess energy was about2.67MJ, which was corresponding to102eV for each palladium atom.
