Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an electrode for use as an anode or cathode for electrolysis of a liquid flowing along a flow direction. An electrolysis arrangement includes at least one such electrode and a method for performing electrolysis using the electrolysis arrangement. The electrolysis arrangement includes a cylindrical housing and a plurality of elongated electrodes each extending along a longitudinal direction parallel to the central axis. The plurality of electrodes is arranged in a concentric pattern around the central axis inside the cylindrical housing. The electrolysis arrangement also includes fluid actuating means for causing a rotational flow of a fluid around said central axis inside said inner volume of said cylindrical housing.

An electrolysis arrangement comprising:
- a cylindrical housing, extending along a central axis, the cylindrical housing defining an inner volume inside said cylindrical housing;
- a plurality of elongated electrodes, each extending along a longitudinal direction parallel to the central axis, and the plurality of electrodes being arranged in a concentric pattern around the central axis inside the inner volume, each electrode being separated from a neighboring electrode with a gap;
- and
- fluid actuating means for causing a rotational flow of a fluid around said central axis inside said inner volume of said cylindrical housing.
An electrode for use as an anode or cathode for electrolysis of a fluid flowing along a flow direction, the fluid comprises an electrolyte and the electrode has a length extending in a longitudinal direction, wherein:
- when the electrode is in use, the electrode is arranged in the fluid flow such that the longitudinal direction is substantially perpendicular to the flow direction and a cross-section of the electrode in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is wing shaped;
- and
- when the electrode is in use, the electrode is arranged upstream or downstream of another wing shaped electrode extending in a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the electrode.
