This message you posted to Vortex has a 'reply-to' field to you, and not to Vortex. Other responses may not have come to the list. I haven't heard of a hydrogen purifier being used before. From the description, it appears as if the purifier is simply a substitute for a palladium electrolytic cell, meaning that as a consequence of purifying hydrogen or deuterium with this purifier, you end up with a loaded palladium lattice. They then add deuterium gas at high pressure, and subsequently see the Pons-Fleishmann effect. McKubre noted back in the 90s that the Pons-Fleishmann effect can be directly correlated to the degree to which the palladium lattice is loaded. "Compared to hydrogen gas as the experimental control: 15°C increase in purifier temperature consistently seen with D2 that was not seen with the H2 control when gasses were unloaded from the purifier."
