Abstract
The proposed electrolyzer comprises at least two electrodes having current-distribution supports, whereupon there are mounted electrode members. In said electrolyzer, at least one of the electrodes comprises at least two units having current-distribution supports, whereupon there are mounted electrode members which are joined together along the side edges of their current-distribution supports, the interconnected current-distribution supports of the units making up the current-distribution support of the electrode.
Claims2
An electrolyzer having a plurality of cell units comprising:
- a first electrode which is an anode;
- a current-distribution support of said first electrode;
- electrode members of said first electrode mounted on said current-distribution support and equidistantly spaced in relation to one another;
- a second electrode which is a cathode;
- a current-distribution support of said second electrode;
- electrode members of said second electrode mounted on said current-distribution support of said second electrode and equidistantly spaced in relation to one another;
- at least one bipolar electrode arranged between said first electrode and said second electrode;
- said bipolar electrode being composed of at least two units;
- current-distribution support of said unit having two opposite sides and side planes;
- electrode membes mounted on said opposite sides of said current-distribution supports of said units and equidistantly spaced in relation to one another;
- at least one cassette open on top and having two side walls and at least one inner vertical partition dividing said cassette interior into at least two compartments wherein said units of said bipolar electrode are mounted, said side walls and said inner vertical partition being so shaped as to provide mounting slots for said units of said bipolar electrode at a definite position;
- said units of said bipolar electrode being mounted in said cassette and joined together by means of said cassette along said side planes of said current-distribution supports of said units;
- current-distribution supports of said bipolar electrode formed by said interconnected current-distribution supports of said units;
- a separate shell for each cell unit formed by side walls and a bottom, and said cassette arranged therebetween;
- a cover for each of said shells;
- means for the supply of electrolyte, mounted on said covers;
- and
- first and second means for the removal of products of electrolysis, mounted, respectively, on said covers and said shells.
