The invention belongs to the category of devices used for thermal energy generation based on the principles of low energy nuclear synthesis, so-called LENR reactions. The specific aspect of these reactions is the low energy consumption by the heating devices, while maintaining sufficiently high output of the thermal energy generated by these devices. The declared methods and alternatives of the device enable, with the use of the heaters, the implementation of various schemes of use in liquid and air heating systems. The heater is constructed as a porous ceramic electrically conductive tubular element made of a high-temperature withstanding ceramic and a reaction material comprising a mixture of metallic powders in the form of metal powder of the elements of the 10th group of the Periodic Table, such as nickel (Ni), and a fuel mixture containing the chemical elements lithium (Li) and hydrogen (H), proportionally distributed inside the pores in a ratio ranging between 10 and 80% of the surface of the heater pores, or in a different alternative where the porous ceramic electrically conductive tubular element is made of a high-temperature withstanding ceramic containing a catalyst metallic powder in the form of metal powder of the elements of the 10th group of the Periodic Table, such as nickel (Ni).
A method of producing thermal energy, comprising the use of chemical elements involved in the exothermic reaction of the Low Energy Nuclear Reaction (LENR) during the interaction of a reactive material consisting of a catalyst in the form of metal powder of the elements of the 10th group of the Periodic Table, in particular nickel (Ni), and a fuel mixture of hydrogen-containing chemical compounds of aluminium (al) and lithium (Li), such as lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4), under conditions initializing external thermal effect, where the controlled LENR reaction is obtained through the use of a heater (1) produced as a porous ceramic electrically conductive tubular element with a reaction material being placed in its pores, the inner surface of which is being heated and the thermal energy is being removed from the outer surface, with metal contacts (2) of the upper part of the heater and metal contacts (3) of the lower part of the heater being placed on the opposite ends of the heater, connected to the input of the control system (85) for controlling the electric resistance in the heater, for which purpose they are subjected to voltage and the current value is being measured, and the first and/or second derivative of the current is being calculated, based on which the temperature is being maintained at which the LENR process occurs, by means of disconnecting or connecting the thermal energy supply to the heater (1) and the reaction material within the range minus (5-10%) of the initial melting temperature of the catalyst, for which purpose the thermal energy connection/disconnection control devices are connected to the control system (85) output.
A method of obtaining additional thermal energy and increasing the efficiency through the use of a ceramic electrically conductive element with a reaction material placed in its pores, produced as two electrically insulated coaxial cylindrical bodies components constituting the initiation heater (41) and the emission heater (42);
The method wherein the heater (1) structured as a porous ceramic electrically conductive tubular element made of a high-temperature ceramic containing a mixture of powders SiC, ZrO2, Al2O3 and carbon (C) powder, and a reaction material, containing a metallic catalyst powder in the form of metal powder of the elements of the 10th group of the Periodic Table, in particular nickel (Ni), and a fuel mixture, is proportionally distributed inside the pores in a ratio ranging between 10 and 80% of the surface of the ceramic pores.
