Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogen production by electrolyzing water, and particularly relates to an electrolytic cell. Background Technique

[0002] Human beings have explored in the aspect of energy supply, such as wind power, photovoltaic, etc. However, the problems of uneven regional development, large volatility, and accommodation intermittency of the above-mentioned renewable energy sources have not been substantially solved, and hydrogen production by electrolyzing water can well solve these problems through energy conversion. In order to meet the demand for hydrogen production from renewable energy, hydrogen production electrolytic cells are gradually developing towards the megawatt level and ten megawatt level.

[0003] At present, the mature hydrogen production technologies by electrolyzing water include alkaline hydrogen production by electrolyzing water and proton exchange membrane hydrogen production by electrolyzing water (PEM); among them, the maximum capacity of the electrolytic cell for alkaline hydrogen production by electrolyzing water can reach 5 megawatts, and the hydrogen production rate per single cell can also reach 1000 Nm 3 / h (standard cubic volume per hour); the single cell input power of the proton exchange membrane hydrogen production electrolytic cell (PEM electrolytic cell) reaches the megawatt level, but the hydrogen production rate is only between 200 Nm 3 / h and 500 Nm 3 / h. If you want to increase the single cell hydrogen production capacity of the PEM electrolytic cell to 1000 Nm 3 / h, it is necessary to increase the number of single cells in the electrolytic cell.

[0004] In the prior art, the hydrogen production of a single electrolytic cell can be increased by connecting dozens or even hundreds of single cell chambers in series. A total water inlet and outlet pipeline is set inside the electrolytic cell, and the pure water required for the electrolysis reaction is distributed to each electrolytic cell through the total water inlet pipeline. The gas generated by each electrolytic cell and the pure water that does not participate in the reaction converge in the total water outlet pipeline, and all the gas and water are discharged from the electrolytic cell by the total water outlet pipeline. However, as the number of chambers connected in series increases, the total water outlet pipeline in the electrolytic cell is also extended, and the flow resistance is also increased. When the total water outlet pipeline is extended, the water outlet resistance of each electrolytic cell unit is also increased, resulting in difficulty in discharging the gas and water generated inside each electrolytic cell. The uneven distribution of water flow in each electrolytic cell unit and the inability to take away the generated gas in time will cause a decrease in electrolytic performance and poor consistency of performance between chambers, thereby causing a decrease in the overall performance of the electrolytic cell. In addition, the PEM hydrogen production electrolyzer has the advantage of a high hydrogen production current density, a large amount of gas produced per unit area, and a high volume ratio of gas in water, which exacerbates the problem of large flow resistance on the main water outlet pipeline, and the gases discharged between adjacent chambers will affect each other, further increasing the flow resistance of the water outlet pipeline. When the gas generated in the chamber cannot be discharged in a timely and effective manner, it will cause uneven temperature distribution, reduce the reaction efficiency of the chamber, and thus affect the electrolytic performance of the entire electrolyzer. In severe cases, it may even reduce the service life of the electrolyzer.

[0005] The utility model patent with patent application number CN216427429U claims to protect a non-metal frame bipolar plate for water electrolyzers, and discloses the structure of the plate and the electrolyzer, which is also the common structure of small PEM electrolyzers. However, this structure is only applicable to small PEM electrolyzers, and the oxygen-water channel in the electrolyzer is a straight-through structure, without a targeted drag reduction design.

[0006] The utility model patent with patent application number CN214361733U claims to protect a bipolar plate of a large-scale water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, which adopts the method of dispersing the alkali inlet channels at the bottom and the lower middle position of the bipolar plate, reducing the area of ​​a single gas alkali channel and increasing the number of gas alkali channels without changing the surface of the gas alkali channel, so as to achieve a more uniform distribution of alkali in the electrolysis chamber composed of two bipolar plates, and timely take away the waste heat generated during the electrolysis process in various parts of the chamber, so as to make the temperature in the electrolytic cell more uniform, and at the same time, the gas generated in the lower half of the electrolysis chamber is discharged as soon as possible, and the concentration of the gas in the upper half of the chamber is reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the alkali resistance and making the current more evenly distributed in the electrolysis chamber. However, this structure is similar to the PEM electrolyzer structure, and the channel still adopts a straight-through structure, and there is no drag reduction design between the chambers according to the flow direction.
