Electrolyzer structure of electrolysis device

Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrolyzer structure of an electrolysis device, and more specifically, to an electrolyzer structure of an electrolysis device, wherein: a plurality of fluid transport pipes are stacked and connected in serial in order to prevent the speed of a moving fluid from being deteriorated; and a contact between hydrogen and electrodes, which occurs during an electrolysis step, is minimized to prevent a decline in the performance of the electrodes and an increase in energy consumption. To this end, the invention provides an electrolyzer structure of an electrolysis device, wherein the invention comprises: serial-type fluid transport pipes having one side on which an inlet port and an outlet port are respectively formed on the lower part and the upper part thereof, wherein one-way zigzag flow paths are formed in the fluid transport pipes; and electrodes which are installed inside said fluid transport pipes, and perform an electric response for ballast water that is transported to the inside of the fluid transport pipes, wherein one end and the other end of the stacked fluid transport pipes are vertically closed in turn, and in this case, orifice holes connected to neighboring upper fluid transport pipes are formed in the closed parts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrolytic cell structure of an electrolytic device, and more specifically, to an electrolytic cell structure of an electrolytic device that does not degrade the performance of electrodes due to contact with scale and hydrogen. Background technique [0002] Ocean cargo ships, which account for more than 80% of the world's cargo movement, are in ballast tanks in order to effectively operate propellers and rudders in water, maintain balance, and improve safety when shipping goods are insufficient. (Ballast Tank) is shipped with seawater in the state, and the water loaded in the above-mentioned ballast tank is usually called ballast water (Ballast Water, balance water). [0003] The above-mentioned ballast water is loaded to adjust the ship's draft (draft) and trim (Trim: ship's fore-aft inclination), so it has the function of maintaining the balance of the ship and improving safety. If necessary, perform auxiliary f...

Problems solved by technology

[0018] As a structure for distributing the seawater in the electrolytic tank to each electrolytic chamber 31, there is a problem that the flow rate in the electrolytic tank is reduced to a number corresponding to the number of the electrode chamber 31 and then flows, so the peeling of the scale according to the flow rate of the scale generated in the electrode is problematic. The effect is reduced, thereby reducing the current efficiency due to scale generation

[0019] In addition, the flow paths for seawater, hypochlorous acid, hydrogen, etc. to flow are formed through the upper and lower through holes of the electrode separator plate 32, so the isolation between the individual electrode chambers 31 is insufficient, resulting in many Bypass the current, thereby generating a loss of current, and the amount of hypochlorous acid produced per unit of electricity is reduced due to the above-mentioned current loss, and the loss of electric energy is large

[0020] In addition, there is a problem that the discharge of hydrogen gas cannot be smoothly realized, so that the hydrogen gas forms a film in the electrode 33, thereby increasing the resistance, and further causing a voltage increase in the electrode 33, and lowering the current efficiency, resulting in a loss of electric energy. Necessary loss

[0021] Of course, in order to solve the above problems, additional hydrogen separation devices can be installed in each electrode chamber 31 in the electrolytic cell, but the tendency to increase the scale generation rate due to the reduction of the flow rate according to the flow distribution cannot be prevented.

[0022] In addition, in the case of setting each electrode chamber in a series structure, although the influence of the increase in flow rate on the scale adhesion speed can be eliminated, the length of the electrolytic cell will inevitably become longer
