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.
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]
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.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
