AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is about an electrolytic cell that includes a housing with a channel for water to pass through, an inlet, and an outlet. The cell also has a removable electrode cartridge with a support member and a series of separate electrode plates. The electrode plates have terminals that can be connected to a power module through an electrical plug. The technical effects of this invention include improved efficiency and flexibility in the design of electrolytic cells, as well as simplified assembly and maintenance.

Problems solved by technology

The electrode plates can only be effectively cleaned or inspected by removing them from the electrolytic cell.
Undoing the cap and the lock ring may be cumbersome and time consuming.
Welding not only requires extra time to be spent in manufacture but also has some drawbacks in operation.
The welding process inevitably damages the grain of the metal used such that the welded area is more susceptible to corrosion than the rest of the electrode plate.

Embodiment Construction

[0058]FIGS. 1 and 2 show an electrolytic cell 10 used for chlorination of pool water. The electrolytic cell 10 includes a curved housing 20 and an electrode cartridge 30. The electrode cartridge 30 is releasably and removably mounted to the housing 20 as will be discussed herein below.

[0059]The housing 20 is made up of a base 40 and a cap 50. The cap 50 is removably attached to the base 40 by a series of cap bolts 51 which extend around a peripheral flange 52 of the cap 50. Bolt holes 41 are located within the base 40 for location of the cap bolts 51 to attach the cap 50 to the base 40. A seal is located between the flange 52 and the base 40 to ensure a join between the cap 50 and the base 40 is water tight.

[0060]The cap 50 has sidewalls 53 and an arched top wall 54 between the sidewalls 53. An opening 60 is located in part of the top wall 54, in which the electrode cartridge 30 is removably received. The opening 60 is generally rectangular.

[0061]A hoop 55 is located on the flange 5...

Abstract

An electrolytic cell comprising, a housing having a channel extending there through and an opening formed in the housing for receiving an electrode cartridge, an inlet allowing water to pass into the channel, an outlet allowing water to pass from the channel, and a removable electrode cartridge comprising, a support member, having a outer side an inner side, the support member being adapted to close off the opening in the housing when the electrode cartridge is received in the opening, and a series of separate spaced electrode plates supported by the support member, each electrode plate having a terminal which extends through the support member from the inner side to project from the outer side.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to an electrolytic cell. It relates also to an electrode cartridge of the electrolytic cell and to improved electrode plates of the electrode cartridge. In particular, the invention relates to an electrolytic cell, electrode cartridge, and improved electrode plates used in chlorination of salt water swimming pools, spas and the like bodies of water.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The chlorination of pools is necessary to prevent unwanted growth of bacteria in the water. Electrolytic chlorination has become a popular method of achieving bacteria free water. Electrolytic chlorination uses common salt which is added to the water located within the pool in combination with an electrolytic cell which is used to produce chlorine. This chlorine is released into the water thereby killing any unwanted bacteria and micro organisms. The process is cost effective, low maintenance and environmentally friendly.[0003]Electrolytic chlorination is ...
