HEAT GENERATING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides a novel heat generating system and method which allow repeated generation of heat. The heat generating system comprises a heat generating part comprising a heat generating material which generates heat when oxidized, wherein the heat generating system further comprises an oxidizing gas source which supplies an oxidizing gas to the heat generating part, and a reducing gas source which supplies a reducing gas to the heat generating part, and wherein the oxidizing gas supplied from the oxidizing gas source causes the heat generating material to be oxidized and generate heat, and the reducing gas supplied from the reducing gas source reductively regenerates the heat generating material which has been oxidized. The heat generating method comprises supplying an oxidizing gas to a heat generating material which generates heat when oxidized to generate .The present invention provides a novel heat generating system and method which allow repeated generation of heat. The heat generating system comprises a heat generating part comprising a heat generating material which generates heat whwn oxidized, wherein the heat generating system further comprises an oxidizing gas source which supplies an oxidizing gas to the heat generating part, and a reducing gas source which supplies a reducing gas to the heat generating part, and wherein the oxidizing gas supplied from the oxidizing gas source causes the heat generating material to be oxidized and generate heat, and the reducing gas supplied from the reducing gas source reductively regenerates the heat generating material which has been oxidized.
