Abstract: This paper details continued research into Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) occurring within solid-state materials, conducted at the Semiconductor Research Laboratory at Lakehead University. Earlier experimental efforts yielded consistently repeatable results showing excess heat output alongside the simultaneous production of helium, with a clear relationship established between the two findings. Temperature-oriented studies carried out previously revealed a short-lived cooling phenomenon lasting roughly 8 seconds upon the initial introduction of deuterium, a behavior linked to the influx of gas held at ambient temperature. The focus of the current study is to address and minimize this thermal interference by altering the proportion of deuterium injection periods relative to periods without injection, rather than altering temperature conditions. Experiments were conducted using three different ratios. The baseline 1:1 ratio reproduced the characteristic temperature drop of 25-30°C. The 4:5 ratio did not mitigate the cooling effect and additionally resulted in lower peak temperatures, indicating reduced performance compared to the baseline. In contrast, the 11:7 ratio reduced the temperature drop to approximately 10°C and improved thermal stability. These results demonstrate that the injection ratio could effectively control transient thermal behavior, although the average temperature remains largely unchanged. Analysis of the released gases through mass spectrometry provides evidence supporting the nuclear nature of the excess energy that was observed.
