The title of your project is "Optimization of an apparatus for creation and characterization of ultra-dense hydrogen – UDH – (ultra dense hydrogen)“.
Combining this with the EPFL project I would tend to think that this is not an energy reactor to produce the actual energy from UDH but this is rather part of an upgrade from the setup as seen on the webpage of EPFL regarding UHD developments. So, mainly aiming at the production of UDH.
However I don't see any Hydrogen provisions in this construction. So, I am a bit puzzled on what exactly this construction is used for. The only solution I see is that this is a module that can accept a small UHD reactor module as a kind of 'tube pill' that can be shifted into the central tube, which basically means this construction is served as a heat exchanger.
yes, correct we did optimize the existing design of the heat exchanger and especially found a new solution with the MACOR plugs on both sides which act as thermal and electric insulation for the heater unit. Inside the heater unit a ceramic tube is placed over the 10mm stainless steel tube (the reactor) which acts as insulation for the heater coil ( not shown in drawing). The heater wire is fed thru the MACOR plug on both sides. 2mm holes allow an AWG16 wire and thus more amps. This has also been a central project requirement, which could not be met so far due to space restrictions.
