TESTS TO PROOF THE LEONARDO 1 MW REACTOR WORKING BY MEANS OF LOW-ENERGY
NUCLEAR REACTIONS – PROTOCOL PREPARED BY THE PARTIES
The test has been performed by the parties:
For the customer (omitted – confidential): colonel Engineer Domenico
Fioravanti
For the Seller: Leonardo Corporation: Dr. Andrea Rossi
Expert Scientist for the measurement of radiations outside the reactors: Dr.
David Bianchini (University of Bologna)
Date of the test: October 28, 2011
Time of the test from 9.00 through 23.00
TEST PROTOCOL
The test has the goal of comparing the Energy output of the reactor made as
in the description of the patent n. WO 2009/ 125444 A1 against the energy
consumption of the same.
To reach this goal we have measured the energy inputs the reactor by means
of the following instrumentation:
[Blank]
Such instrumentation has been certified as follows:
[Blank]
The energy output, or production has been measured by means of the integral
of the delta T of the water coolant of the reactor in function of the water
flow plus the vaporization heat of the water turned into steam. To be
conservative, all the water which arrived liquid at the output of the
reactor has been collected and its weight has been subtracted from the
amount of water that has been considered vaporized.
The water flow rate has been measured by a scaled reservoir and a
chronograph all the times that the Customer’s consultant has deemed
opportune. This system has been chosen by the Customer.
The temperatures of the water before and after the reactor have been
measured by means of the following instrumentation, previously tested by the
Customer:
Testo data logger #177 – T3
Testo thermocouples # Testo Alta Temperatura 0613 1212 – AG 1st
The positioning of the thermocouples has been chosen by the customer
As for the radiations we have measured:
THE RADIATIONS EMITTED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE REACTOR
The results are reported in attachment 1: no radiation above the background
have been registered
The hydrogen tank is been weighed by means of the scale before and after the
loading of the hydrogen in the reactor.
Before the loading the weight measured is: 13,604.5 kg
After the loading the weight measured is: 13,602.8 kg
The hydrogen tank pressure has been measured before and after the load:
Hydrogen pressure before the load: 55 bar
Hydrogen pressure after the load: 55 bar
Average temperature of the water at the input 18.3°C
Average temperature of the steam: 104.5°C
(The diagrams of the temperatures is in the attachment 2)
Energy consumed from 12.30 (when the reactor has been turned on) and 18.00
(when the reactor has been turned off: wh 66 kWh (sixty six)
Total energy production from 12.30 through 18.00: 2,635.033 kWh.
Water flow rate: l/h 675.6
Water not vaporize total: 5
Water vaporized: total 3716
Total energy produced: (steam kg × 625.5) plus (100 - input water T) × kg of
water heated × 1.16 = kWh 2635
Ratio between energy producing energy consumed (COP): 2635:0
Description of test installation:
The 1 MW energy catalyzer (E-Cat) is an assembly of 170 modules of 10 kW
each, connected in parallel. Each module is made by three submodules of 3.3
kW each, put in parallel.
All modules are set in a container made by steel. The assemblies commanded
by a control panel supplied with the necessary software and all the
necessary electronic components, whose description has been detailed in the
sale agreement. All the components result to be set as guaranteed from a
pulmonary check.
The dimensions of the container are:
Length 5 m
Width 2.6 m
Height 2.6 m
Weight declared from the manufacturer 10 tonns
Noise emissions below 50 dB(A) at 5 m from the plant
Waste emissions: none
Gas or smoke emissions: none
Liquid emissions: none
The water is supplied by the reactors by means of 2 pumps with a flow rate
capacity of 3,000 l/h regulated by valve at the do flow rate of ~350 L per
hour
Type of pumps: DAB jet 82 M
The reactors have been served by a RFG, whose data are reported in the sale
agreement description. The energy consumed by the RFG system has been
calculated in the calculation of the COP.
The heat made by the reactor has been dissipated in a steam condenser and
the water came from the condensation of the heat has been recycled to the
reactor. Additional water has been added from the grid to compensate the
water evaporated from the reservoir, by means of floating valves, to
maintain constant the water level of the reservoir.
The modules have been divided into rows each with an independent pump, so
that each pump has a flow rate of 750 kg per hour, for a total of 1,500 kg
per hour.
The dissipators have been designed by Leonardo Corporation, and are made by
2 air-water heat exc
