Abstract
An improved, modular cooling chamber for reaction gas product collection manifolds of a gaseous electrolysis apparatus can include a helium permeable element separating helium from hydrogen and/or deuterium reactants. This system can provide a controllable thermal gradient across the helium permeable element promoting helium transport through the cooling chamber.
Claims20
A gas product collection apparatus of a gaseous electrolysis thermal generator apparatus, wherein the gaseous electrolysis thermal generator apparatus is configured to produce heat through a reaction of a metallic cathode with hydrogen or deuterium, wherein the gaseous electrolysis thermal generator apparatus comprises a reactor chamber, a hydrogen or deuterium storage tank, and at least one manifold coupling the reactor chamber to the hydrogen or deuterium storage tank, the gas product collection apparatus comprising:
- cooling chamber for a modular reaction gas product manifold of the gaseous electrolysis thermal generator apparatus, comprising:
- a helium permeable element cup,
- wherein said helium permeable element cup comprises:
- an internal surface area sufficient to separate a desired number of helium (He) atoms at a rate of at least 1016 atoms per second.
