The invention concerns a cooling system for a high intensity electric circuit designed to power an electrolysis vessel with high intensity current. Said system comprises a tube (18) made of conductive metal in series and/or in parallel in the electric circuit, conveying the high intensity current and liquid circulating circuit (34) comprising a pump with variable flow rate (28) maintaining a liquid flow in the tube for recovering the heat released by the passage of high intensity current in said tube and a heat exchanger (30) for evacuating the heat recovered in the tube and restore it to the electrolysis vessel for maintaining its temperature above a crystallisation threshold of the electrolysis, the variable flow rate of the pump being able to be adapted based on the value of the intensity of the high intensity current.
A cooling system for a high intensity electric circuit featuring a conductive metal tube (18), in series and/or parallel in said electric circuit, transporting the high intensity current and a liquid circulating system featuring a pump with variable flow rate (28) which circulates the liquid in said tube designed to recover the heat released by the high intensity current passing through said tube and a heat exchanger to dissipate the heat (30) recovered in said tube.
