Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, and relates to a concave-convex electrode plate, a pressure filter electrolyzer unit, and a pressure filter electrolyzer. Background Technology

[0002] The filter press electrolyzer is a commonly used alkaline water electrolyzer (AWE). The cell body consists of multiple electrolysis units stacked in a specific pattern. This type of electrolyzer has advantages such as low cost, compact structure, and simple gas-liquid circulation channel structure, and is widely used in various industries for hydrogen or oxygen supply. The flow channel structure of the filter press electrolyzer directly affects the distribution of the alkaline solution during electrolysis, thus influencing the bubble generation rate, gas-liquid two-phase transport, and temperature distribution within the flow channel. In industrial processes, concave and convex spherical structures are widely used due to their simple stamping, strong pressure resistance, and low flow loss. However, in existing technologies, the alkaline solution flow field uniformity on the electrode plates of alkaline electrolyzers with concave-convex unit structures is poor, with obvious flow dead zones near the sidewalls, leading to increased electrolysis energy consumption. Existing pressure filter electrolyzers (especially industrial-scale AWEs) generally use a single electrolyte inlet to introduce electrolyte from the edge or center of the electrode plate. The electrolyte is prone to problems such as inlet jet impact, expansion of the stagnation zone on both sides, and uneven gas holdup distribution in the electrode plate flow field, resulting in a decrease in the effective reaction area utilization rate, uneven local current density, and limited electrolysis efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, in order to save energy and ensure the normal operation of the electrolyzer, it is necessary to design a new flow field structure for the flow channel. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a concave-convex electrode plate, a pressure filter electrolytic cell unit, and a pressure filter electrolytic cell. The present invention overcomes the inherent defect of "more flow in the middle and less flow on the sides" in the inlet jet by setting a flow-guiding section on the surface of the concave-convex electrode plate near the electrolyte inlet, and by using a gradient distribution of the flow area to ensure uniform lateral spread of the electrolyte. Simultaneously, the liquid distribution area employs alternating hemispherical concave-convex units to synergistically enhance gas-liquid disturbance and bubble removal, significantly improving the lateral spread uniformity of the electrolyte and the efficiency of bubble removal. This effectively improves the alkaline concentration distribution on the electrode plate, making the flow channel smoother, thereby reducing contact resistance and increasing current density.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a concave-convex electrode plate for a pressure filter electrolyzer, wherein the concave-convex electrode plate has an electrolyte inlet, a liquid distribution area is provided on the surface of the concave-convex electrode plate, a flow guiding section is provided in the liquid distribution area, and the flow guiding section is located close to the electrolyte inlet and communicates with the electrolyte inlet; The flow guiding section includes a transverse flow guiding part and two side parts located at both ends thereto. The transverse flow guiding part is arranged parallel to the inner edge of the concave and convex electrode plate, and the end of the side part away from the transverse flow guiding part is connected to the inner edge of the concave and convex electrode plate. The transverse guide section has multiple guide holes, and the flow area of ​​the guide holes increases from the center line of the electrolyte inlet towards both sides of the flow field.

[0006] In this invention, by adding a flow-guiding section at the electrolyte inlet and opening a certain number of flow-guiding holes on the flow-guiding section, the lateral distribution of the electrolyte can be enhanced, the flow dead zone can be reduced, the alkaline concentration distribution on the electrode plate can be effectively improved, and the flow channel can be smoother, thereby reducing contact resistance and increasing current density. It is important to emphasize that the flow area of ​​the flow-guiding holes must increase gradually from the center line of the electrolyte inlet towards both sides of the flow field. If all flow-guiding holes are the same size, due to pressure loss along the flow path, the flow rate near the inlet will be larger, while that at the far end will be smaller, resulting in uneven electrolyte distribution. Therefore, the opening of the flow-guiding holes needs to gradually increase from the near end (close to the electrolyte inlet) to the far end to compensate for the pressure drop, thereby making the flow rate of each flow-guiding hole more uniform.

[0007] The following are preferred technical solutions of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the technical solutions provided by the present invention. The technical objectives and beneficial effects of the present invention can be better achieved and realized through the following preferred technical solutions.

[0011] In this invention, by controlling the arc length of the lateral guide section and its distance from the inner edge of the concave and convex electrode plate within the above-mentioned preferred range, it is more beneficial to make the guide section cover the main jet area near the electrolyte inlet, while avoiding the guide section from excessively occupying the reaction flow field area, thereby improving the lateral spreading uniformity of the electrolyte and reducing the edge flow dead zone.

[0013] Preferably, the center distance is 10mm to 80mm, such as 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm or 80mm.

[0023] Preferably, the total projected area of ​​the plurality of concave units and the plurality of convex units on the surface of the liquid distribution area is each independently 20% to 70% of the area of ​​the liquid distribution area.

[0024] Preferably, the depth of the concave unit and the height of the convex unit are each independently 1mm to 8mm, for example 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm or 8mm.

[0048] The structure of the concave-convex electrode 2 is as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the system includes an electrolyte inlet 8.1 and an outlet 8.2, and a flow guide section 9 located within the liquid distribution area and close to the electrolyte inlet 8.1. The flow guide section 9 includes a transverse flow guide portion and two side portions at its ends. The transverse flow guide portion is parallel to the inner edge of the concave-convex electrode plate, with an arc length of 15% of the circumference of the concave-convex electrode plate (1194 mm) and a distance to the inner edge of the concave-convex electrode plate of 3% of the diameter of the concave-convex electrode plate (380 mm).

[0050] The concave-convex electrode plate includes an electrolyte inlet and an outlet, and a flow guide section disposed within the liquid distribution area and close to the electrolyte inlet. The flow guide section includes a transverse flow guide portion and two side portions at its ends. The transverse flow guide portion is parallel to the inner edge of the concave-convex electrode plate, with an arc length of 5% of the perimeter of the concave-convex electrode plate (1194 mm) and a distance to the inner edge of the concave-convex electrode plate of 5% of the diameter of the concave-convex electrode plate (380 mm). The side portions, away from the transverse flow guide portion, are connected to the inner edge of the concave-convex electrode plate.

The transverse flow guide portion has six rectangular flow guide holes symmetrically distributed on both sides of the centerline of the electrolyte inlet. The flow area from the centerline of the electrolyte inlet outwards towards both sides is approximately equal to the electrolyte inlet flow area (75 mm²). 2 The projected area is 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 times that of the liquid distribution area, and the center distance between adjacent guide holes is 10 mm. In addition, the liquid distribution area is alternately distributed with multiple hemispherical concave and convex units, with a total projected area of ​​113411 mm². 2 The sphere is 20% of the total sphere, with a diameter of 5 mm and a depth or height of 1 mm. The distance between two adjacent concave units and the distance between two adjacent convex units are both 2.5 mm. The ratio of the number of concave units to the number of convex units is 1:0.9.

[0051] Example 3 This embodiment provides a pressure filter electrolytic cell unit, including: an electrode frame, a diaphragm disposed in the cavity of the electrode frame and dividing the cavity into two sub-chambers, electrodes located on both sides of the diaphragm, and a pair of concave and convex electrode plates disposed on both sides of a pair of electrodes and fixedly connected to the openings at both ends of the electrode frame through screw holes.

[0052] The concave-convex electrode plate includes an electrolyte inlet and an outlet, and a flow guide section disposed within the liquid distribution area and close to the electrolyte inlet. The flow guide section includes a transverse flow guide portion and two side portions at its ends. The transverse flow guide portion is parallel to the inner edge of the concave-convex electrode plate, with an arc length of 25% of the plate's circumference (1194 mm) and a distance to the inner edge of the plate equal to 1% of its diameter (380 mm). The side portions, away from the transverse flow guide portion, connect to the inner edge of the plate. The transverse flow guide portion is symmetrical about the centerline of the electrolyte inlet and is made of stainless steel. The transverse flow guide portion has eight rectangular flow holes symmetrically distributed on both sides of the electrolyte inlet centerline. The flow area from the centerline of the electrolyte inlet outwards is approximately equal to the electrolyte inlet flow area (75 mm²) on each side. 2 The projected area is 0.5 times, 1 times, 1.5 times, and 2 times that of the liquid distribution area, with a center distance of 37 mm between adjacent guide holes. Furthermore, the liquid distribution area is alternately distributed with multiple hemispherical concave and convex units, with a total projected area of ​​113411 mm². 2The sphere is 70% of the total sphere, with a diameter of 30 mm and a depth or height of 8 mm. The distance between two adjacent concave units and the distance between two adjacent convex units are both 20 mm. The ratio of the number of concave units to the number of convex units is 1:1.1.

[0053] Example 4 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that there are a total of 4 guide holes, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the center line of the electrolyte inlet. The flow area from the center line of the electrolyte inlet to both sides of the flow field direction is 1 times and 2 times the electrolyte inlet area, respectively, and the center distance between adjacent guide holes is equal. The remaining preparation methods and parameters are consistent with those in Example 1.

[0054] Example 5 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the flow area of ​​the guide hole is 0.2 times, 1.3 times, and 2.5 times the electrolyte inlet area from the center line of the electrolyte inlet to both sides of the flow field direction; The remaining preparation methods and parameters are consistent with those in Example 1.

[0055] Example 6 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the distance from the lateral guide portion to the inner edge of the concave-convex electrode plate is 8% of the diameter of the concave-convex electrode plate; The remaining preparation methods and parameters are consistent with those in Example 1.

[0056] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the guide section 9 is not provided; The remaining preparation methods and parameters are consistent with those in Example 1.

[0057] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the flow area of ​​each of the six guide holes is the same as the flow area of ​​the electrolyte inlet. The remaining preparation methods and parameters are consistent with those in Example 1.

[0058] Flow field simulation Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to numerically simulate the electrolyte flow characteristics on the surface of the concave and convex plates in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2, and the flow field velocity distribution was obtained.

[0059] By comparison Figure 4 and Figure 5As can be seen from the velocity distribution, compared with Comparative Example 1, the velocity at the center of Example 1 is significantly reduced, from 5.99 mm / s to 1.34 mm / s, a decrease of 77.6%. Furthermore, the axial velocity fluctuation is significantly weakened, and the velocity non-uniformity coefficient decreases from 1.28 to 0.83, greatly improving the overall uniformity. Therefore, compared with traditional uneven electrode plates, this invention, by setting a flow guiding section in the electrolyte inlet area and utilizing fluid momentum to cover a larger area, significantly improves the overall uniformity of electrolyte flow on the electrode plate, thereby reducing electrolysis energy consumption.

[0060] Meanwhile, although the non-uniformity coefficient of Comparative Example 2 is slightly lower than that of Comparative Example 1, it is still larger than that of Example 1. This indicates that the flow area of ​​the guide holes must increase from the center line of the electrolyte inlet towards both sides of the flow field. If all guide holes are the same size, due to pressure loss along the flow path, the outflow from guide holes near the inlet will be larger, while that from the far end will be smaller, resulting in uneven electrolyte distribution.

[0061] Furthermore, the data results of Examples 4-6 show that the number of guide holes, the area of ​​the guide holes, and the distance between the guide section and the inner edge of the electrode plate also affect the uniformity of the flow field. By controlling them within the preferred range of the present invention, the uniformity of electrolyte flow within the electrode plate can be further improved.

[0062] The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
