US 12,533,649 B2 · Method for converting thermal energy into dissociation energy of molecules of a gas medium and a device for implementing same

Abstract

A device (1) and method are claimed for converting thermal energy into dissociation energy of molecules of a gas medium (3). The device incorporates a reaction vacuum chamber (2), designed to enable a gas medium (3) to be supplied therein, at least one thermal radiator (4), of which at least one emission spectral line of a medium (5), in the temperature range 350° C. to 1500° C., at least partially corresponds to the absorption spectral line of molecules of the gas medium (3). At least part of the volume of the vacuum chamber (2) is positioned in the zone of optical visibility of the radiator (4) and is a reaction volume (7) for the gas medium (3), in which reaction volume, as a result of resonance oscillations of molecules of the gas medium (3), excited by the radiator (4), at least partial dissociation of the gas medium (3) takes place. The device also incorporates a system (8) for drawing off at least one product of dissociation of molecules of the gas medium (3).

Dependent claims

Method for converting thermal energy into dissociation energy of molecules of a gas medium comprising:

A) supplying a first gas medium to a reaction vacuum chamber with a first window;
B) supplying a second gas medium with the same composition as the first gas medium to a thermal radiation chamber, with a second window, thereby allowing an optical path between the first and second gas mediums;
C) increasing the temperature of the second gas medium in the thermal radiation chamber in the range 350 to 1500° C., wherein the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the second gas medium corresponds to the spectral emissions lines of the second gas medium, which further correspond to the spectral absorption lines of the first gas medium, therein causing a dissociation reaction of the first gas medium;
and
D) drawing off dissociation products of the first gas medium.
