Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrodes, in particular to an electrolytic cell fatigue detection test device. Background Technique
[0002] Electrolytic cells usually produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water. According to the structure of the electrolytic cell, it can be divided into box-type electrolytic cells and filter-press electrolytic cells. Box-type electrolytic cells are mainly used in fields such as electroplating and refining, while filter-press electrolytic cells are mainly used for hydrogen production by electrolyzing water. Before use, several processes such as pre-tightening, cold-tightening, and hot-tightening need to be carried out on the electrolytic cell. Before hot-tightening the electrolytic cell, internal heat steaming of the electrolytic cell is required. Heat steaming usually involves introducing steam with a pressure of 0.2 MPa - 0.3 MPa into the electrolytic cell. During the heat steaming process, the chloride ion content in the heat steaming steam needs to be controlled. If the chloride ion content is too high, it will induce corrosion, resulting in electrolytic cell fatigue and reducing the service life of the electrolytic cell.
[0003] When analyzing the fatigue of an electrolytic cell, the existing electrolytic cell fatigue detection test device usually needs to cooperate with a metallographic microscope to observe the corrosion degree of the electrode surface. Its test steps are cumbersome, the operation difficulty is large, and the cost is high. Therefore, we propose an electrolytic cell fatigue detection test device that can simplify the detection steps and reduce the detection cost. Content of the Utility Model

The delivery pipe 25 is connected to the electrolyte inlet pipe 29, and the lift pump 24 is started to deliver the electrolyte to the inside of the electrolytic cell body. The detection electrolyte can be pure water or water with a certain chloride ion content. The external power supply is connected, and a water electrolysis reaction occurs inside the electrolytic cell body. The generated hydrogen carries a certain amount of water vapor into the inside of the hydrogen and electrolyte discharge pipe 14. The hydrogen will rise into the gas collecting bottle 17, and the electrolyte vapor will condense and flow back to be collected in the water receiving seat 1. By controlling the reaction time, when the electrolysis reaction stops, the valve 18 is closed. The hydrogen flow rate result is displayed by the gas flow meter 30. By comparing the detection result with the preset standard result, the difference generated after the comparison can be used to judge the fatigue degree of the electrolytic cell. Under the condition that the reaction conditions such as reaction time, reaction temperature, and electrolyte quality are the same, the more hydrogen is generated, the smaller the fatigue strength of the electrolytic cell. By comparing the standard reaction result or the data of past detection results, on the one hand, the fatigue degree of the electrolytic cell can be judged, and on the other hand, the change rate of the fatigue of the electrolytic cell can be judged, providing a basis for the daily inspection and maintenance of the electrolytic cell;
[0029] After the detection is completed, by introducing nitrogen into the electrolytic cell body, the air oxidation intensity inside the electrolytic cell body can be weakened to protect the electrolytic cell body.
