AI Technical Summary
Under prolonged operation at high temperature and high pressure, the plates of alkaline water electrolyzers may undergo plastic deformation and radial displacement, leading to sealing failure, leakage, and structural damage. Existing technologies lack real-time monitoring methods, posing safety hazards.
An instrument for monitoring the amount of protrusion is installed on the alkaline water electrolysis cell, including infrared, laser, ultrasonic, or radar ranging sensors, to monitor the radial deformation of the electrode plates and connect to the control system to achieve real-time monitoring and safety control of the amount of protrusion.
It enables safety early warning and automatic protection for alkaline water electrolyzers, reduces the risk of seal failure and leakage, extends service life, and improves operational stability.
