Patent ID: 8474240

Claim:
A system for generating reaction products having elevated temperature and pressure, comprising: a first chamber comprising: an inlet to receive hydrogen peroxide having a concentration between about 15% and about 62% by weight; a reactor to decompose the hydrogen peroxide having a concentration between about 15% and about 62% by weight, to generate oxygen and water vapor; and an outlet to allow the generated oxygen and water vapor to exit the first chamber; a second chamber comprising: a first inlet to receive the generated oxygen and water vapor from the first chamber; a second inlet to receive a fuel; a reactor to catalytically combust a mixture of the oxygen and fuel to generate reaction products having elevated temperature and pressure; and an outlet to allow the reaction products to exit the second chamber; a container having a wall, the first and second chambers are disposed within the container, a partition disposed within the container and between the first and second chambers, the container wall and the partition defining a passageway to receive reaction products exiting the second chamber and to channel the reaction products into contact with external surfaces of the first and second chambers; and an outlet to the container to allow the reaction products to exit the system.
