Abstract
In an electrolyzer having bipolar cells, which are arranged in a row and consist each of two metallic partitions, spring-elastic electrodes bearing on the partitions, and a diaphragm which is disposed between the electrodes and is spaced from the electrodes by spacers, contact between the spring-elastic electrodes and the diaphragm is prevented by disposing the spacers of each cell directly opposite to each other and aligned with the spacers of the other cells.
