Abstract:It is important to establish an accurate heat measurement system to confirm the excess heat from the cold fusion phenomenon. During plasma electrolysis, an accurate heat measurement is especially difficult, because the input power is large and it causes significant evaporation of electrolyte and heat loss to the environment from the body of the electrolytic cell. In this study, a flow calorimetry system has been developed for accurate measurement. The energy balance of plasma electrolysis was measured at 100–102%, and the current efficiency were from 115 to 122% during the plasma electrolysis in 0.3 mol/dm3 Na2CO3 light water solution. Clear excess output energy has not been observed. Excess gases of 15–22% generation beyond Faraday's law was confirmed. The excess gas generation might be due to a plasma reaction.
