Abstract
This invention relates to modifying a process cell that needs periodic replacement such as the electrolysis cell shown to enable quick connect/disconnect with minimal process downtime. The claimed invention not only modifies the design of the cell but also proposes a housing with a separate compartment for the cell to isolate this from the other components of the system making it easier to replace the cell without the need to disturb the other components.
Claims21
A housing for an electrolysis system allowing quick fastening and detaching of an electrolysis cell needing periodic replacement, the electrolysis cell having a front side and a rear side holding an anode and a cathode chamber, comprising:
- a main compartment enclosing components of the electrolysis system except the electrolysis cell;
- and,
- a separate compartment for the electrolysis cell, the separate compartment having a top wall, a bottom wall, three side panels, and an open side for easily reaching to and grasping on the electrolysis cell, the open side having an optional door to open or close the compartment, the wall or side panel common with the main compartment having openings to accommodate and allow tubings and electrical connectors from the main compartment to couple with tubings and electrical connectors on a side of the electrolysis cell, the separate compartment having a cell holder means for easily removing and introducing the electrolysis cell from the separate compartment, the cell holder means comprising a female member platform and a male member platform, one member platform on the separate compartment for attachment to a matching member platform attached to the electrolysis cell, the female member attaching to the male member by a screw-on mechanism or a twist and lock mechanism.
A housing for a system involving passage of electric current allowing quick fastening and detaching of a process cell needing periodic replacement, the process cell having a front side and a rear side holding an anode and a cathode chamber, comprising:
- a main compartment enclosing components of the system except the process cell;
- and,
- a separate compartment for the process cell, the separate compartment having a top wall, a bottom wall, side panels, and an open side for easily reaching to and grasping on the process cell, the open side having an optional door to open or close the compartment, the wall or side panel common with the main compartment having openings to accommodate and allow tubings and electrical connectors from the main compartment to couple with tubings and electrical connectors on a side of the process cell, the separate compartment having a cell holder means for easily removing and introducing the process cell from the separate compartment, the cell holder means comprising a female member platform and a male member platform, one member platform on the separate compartment for attachment to a matching member platform attached to the electrolysis cell, the female member attaching to the male member by a screw-on mechanism or a twist and lock mechanism.
A housing for an electrolysis system allowing quick fastening and detaching of an electrolysis cell needing periodic replacement, the electrolysis cell having an anode and a cathode chamber, comprising:
- a main compartment having a front side and a back side enclosing components of the electrolysis system except an electrolysis cell and a filter member;
- a second compartment enclosing the filter member;
- a third compartment enclosing the electrolysis cell separated from the main and second compartment, the third compartment having an optional door;
- a common wall between the main compartment and the third compartment having openings to accommodate and allow tubings and electrical connectors from the main compartment to couple with tubings and electrical connectors of the electrolysis cell;
- and,
- a cell holder means on the third compartment for easily removing and introducing the electrolysis cell from the third compartment, the cell holder means comprising a female member platform and a male member platform, one member platform on the third compartment for attachment to a matching member platform attached to the electrolysis cell, the female member attaching to the male member by a screw-on mechanism or a twist and lock mechanism.
