AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional liquid supply frames in electrodialysis devices require complete replacement when parts of the flow path deform due to heat, leading to increased maintenance costs and reduced productivity.

Method used

A modular design for the liquid supply frame with separate upper and lower modules, each made of different materials, allowing for partial replacement of deformed parts, such as the upper module, which is prone to deformation from heat, while maintaining functionality.

Benefits of technology

Reduces maintenance costs by enabling replacement of only the deformed parts, while improving productivity through adjustable flow path areas in the lower module to match ion exchange performance.

Abstract

The electrodialysis device includes a plurality of gaskets stacked in one direction, each of which allows a different solution to pass therethrough, a plurality of ion exchange membranes positioned between the gaskets, and a liquid supply frame positioned on one side of the gaskets and supplying the different solutions to each of the gaskets, the liquid supply frame including a central module overlapping the gaskets in the one direction, and an upper module coupled to an upper portion of the central module, communicating with the gaskets, and including a plurality of discharge flow paths through which the different solutions that have passed through the gaskets are discharged.
