A Johnson thermoelectric energy converter or JTEC is a type of solid-state heat engine that uses the electrochemical oxidation and reduction of hydrogen in a two-cell, thermal cycle that approximates the Ericsson cycle. [1] It is under investigation as a viable alternative to conventional thermoelectric conversion.
Electrode boilers can work on both single-phase and three-phase supplies. If DC voltage is used, electrolysis of water occurs, decomposing water into its elements H 2 at the cathode (negative electrode) and O 2 at the anode (positive electrode). The electrode boiler is 99.9% efficient with almost all the energy consumed producing steam.
Membrane electrode assembly. Electro- chemical reaction Diagram of PEM MEA. A membrane electrode assembly ( MEA) is an assembled stack of proton-exchange membranes (PEM) or alkali anion exchange membrane (AAEM), catalyst and flat plate electrode used in fuel cells and electrolyzers. [ 1][ 2]
An electric steam boiler is intended to produce steam for process industry or other uses, such as drying, heat treating, and others. These are generally permanently installed systems with connections to a water supply and piping to transport product steam to the point of use. In places where electric power is relatively low cost compared to ...
A heating element is a device used for conversion of electric energy into heat, consisting of a heating resistor and accessories. [ 1] Heat is generated by the passage of electric current through a resistor through a process known as Joule Heating. Heating elements are used in household appliances, industrial equipment, and scientific ...
Infinite switch. Energy regulator of an electric stove with a glass-ceramic hob. 1: Electric contacts (here closed); 2: Bimetal; 3: Heater for Bimetal. An infinite switch, simmerstat, energy regulator or infinite controller is a type of switch that allows variable power output of a heating element of an electric stove.
The Primus stove was the first pressurized-burner kerosene (paraffin) stove, developed in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist, a factory mechanic in Stockholm. The stove was based on the design of the hand-held blowtorch; Lindqvist's patent covered the burner, which was turned upward on the stove instead of outward as on the blowtorch. [ 1]
A solid oxide electrolyzer cell ( SOEC) is a solid oxide fuel cell that runs in regenerative mode to achieve the electrolysis of water (and/or carbon dioxide) [ 1] by using a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte to produce hydrogen gas [ 2] (and/or carbon monoxide) and oxygen. The production of pure hydrogen is compelling because it is a clean ...
