Patent

CA 2287006

Vacuum diode-based devices, including vacuum diode heat pumps and vacuum thermionic generators, are described in which the electrodes are coated with an electride (11, 12). These materials have low work functions, which means that contact potential difference between cathode (1) and anode (2) may be set against the effects of space charge, resulting in an improved device whereby anode (2) and cathode (1) may be set at a greater distance from each other than has been previously envisaged.

Dispositifs comportant des diodes à vide, notamment des pompes à chaleur à diode à vide et des générateurs thermoioniques à vide, dans lesquels les électrodes sont recouvertes d'une couche d'électrure (11, 12). Ces matériaux assurent un travail de sortie peu important, ce qui veut dire que la différence de potentiel de contact entre la cathode (1) et l'anode (2) peut être utilisée pour compenser les effets de la charge d'espace. Dans un dispositif ainsi amélioré, l'anode (2) et la cathode (1) peuvent être placées à une distance plus importante l'une de l'autre que ce qui a pu être envisagé jusqu'ici.
