Abstract
A fluid tube routes a fluid adjacent to a source of heat to heat the fluid. The heated fluid is passed adjacent to cells which receive infrared radiation from the heated fluid. An anti-corrosion member is positioned on a portion of the tube adjacent to the cells. The anti-corrosion member is spaced from an outer periphery of the tube to provide a chamber between the portion of the tube and the anti-corrosion member.
Claims16
A source of electricity comprising:
- a source of heat;
- a fluid tube for routing a fluid adjacent to the source of heat to heat the fluid, and for passing the heated fluid to be adjacent cells which receive infrared radiation from the heated fluid, and then returning the heated fluid through the tube to be adjacent to the source of heat;
- and
- an anti-corrosion member positioned on at least a portion of the tube that is adjacent to the cells, said anti-corrosion member being spaced from an outer periphery of the tube to provide a chamber between the portion of the tube and the anti-corrosion member.

A fluid loop and infrared cell combination comprising:
- a fluid tube for routing a fluid adjacent to a source of heat to heat the fluid, and for passing the heated fluid to be adjacent cells which receive infrared radiation from the heated fluid, and then returning the heated fluid through the tube to be adjacent to the source of heat;
- and
- an anti-corrosion member positioned on at least a portion of the tube that is adjacent to the cells, said anti-corrosion member being spaced from an outer periphery of the tube to provide a chamber between the portion of the tube and the anti-corrosion member.
