Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to electrolytic hydrogen production field, specifically, relate to a module formula rectangular electrolytic hydrogen production equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the common electrolyte channel design is adopted in the electrolytic cell. Generally, the cathode channel and the anode channel are arranged separately and include the outflow channels of the cathode liquid and the anode liquid. This design principle leads to an inevitable problem, i.e. the leakage problem of the electrolytic cell. Since the electrolyte channel directly connects a high potential and a low potential, current will inevitably be generated between the electrolyte (saturated strong sodium oxide or strong potassium oxide solution), and the electrolyte channel actually connects the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electrolytic cell, which will cause certain electric loss. In the past, the electric loss had little effect on the functionality of the electrolytic cell, which was generally below 10 NM / h, so this design has been used until now. However, with large-scale hydrogen production becoming the main application scenario of the electrolytic equipment, energy consumption has become a key technical index of the electrolytic cell. Therefore, solving the leakage problem of the electrolytic cell is crucial for low-cost operation. 3
[0003] The small electrolytic cell adopts a vertical installation method which is relatively simple, but after the electrolytic cell is large-sized, the vertical installation method brings great difficulty to operation, but there is no better solution due to structural reasons.
[0004] In addition, the electrolytic cell currently adopts a circular structure design, while the common membrane material and electrode material are rectangular structures, which need to be cut accordingly, and the loss is as high as about 25%. Since the electrode and the membrane are very valuable materials, the loss of other materials is also the same, so the production cost of the electrolytic cell is greatly increased.
