Abstract
A device for and method of using the heat provided by a heat source and consisting in using as a heat-conveying fluid a substance chemically compatible with porous materials through which the fluid is flowing and which are not substantially wetted by said fluid and subjecting said fluid at the fluid supply to a pressure higher than that of the gas evolved which has passed through a blocking layer included in said porous material and forming a barrier for said fluid in any condition other than the gaseous state.
