The cooling effect is very interesting. It brings the question of conservation of energy to the fore. If normal LENR is like a box with a button on it, which once pressed causes heat to spill out, can you have another box with a button that, when pressed, causes cooling to occur? At face value, it sounds like some basic principle is being violated. The secret here might be in the materials, where nickel is used for heating and titanium is used for cooling. In the process peaks in the energy potential of the environment are gradually smoothed out and move towards some kind of baseline. If you had large LENR power stations operating over decades and centuries, pumping heat into the environment, would this just result in a change in the equilibrium of the environment such that more incoming solar energy would then be reflected into space, or would there be a need for active cooling of some kind?
