Electrolyzer device having cooling structure

Abstract

An electrolyzer device includes a partition disposed in a housing for separating the housing into a chamber and a compartment, one or more heat generating elements received in the chamber of the housing, an insert or epoxy filled into the housing for retaining the heat generating elements within the chamber of the housing, and the housing includes an inlet port communicative with the compartment of the housing for receiving a fluid, such as water, brine, anolyte, catholyte, or electrolytic solution, and for heat exchanging with and for cooling the heat generating element, and includes an outlet port communicative with the compartment of the housing for outward flowing of the fluid.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an electrolyzer device, and more particularly to an electrolyzer device including a cooling structure for suitably cooling the parts or elements that may generate the heat and that may have a greatly increased temperature and for preventing the heat generating parts or elements from being overheated and damaged.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Typical electrolytic cells or electrolyzer devices comprise one or more anodes and one or more cathodes disposed within a cell body or container that is provided for receiving electrolyte therein, for generating anolyte and catholyte by energizing or actuating or operating the anodes and the cathodes, and for utilizing the anolyte and the catholyte to electroplate various kinds of work pieces, for example.[0005]In some circumstances, the anolyte and the catholyte are required to be separated from each other, for such as manufacturing or s...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an electrolyzer device including a cooling structure for suitably cooling the parts or elements that may generate the heat and that may have a greatly increased temperature and for preventing the heat generating parts or elements from being overheated and damaged.

Problems solved by technology

However, the typical electrolytic cells or electrolyzer devices each comprise one or more parts or elements that may generate the heat and that may have a greatly increased temperature, such as transformers, capacitors, diodes, field effect transistors, rectifiers, resistors, coils, relays, and the heat generating parts or elements may be overheated and damaged inadvertently when no suitable cooling structure has been provided for suitably cooling the parts or elements.
