The invention discloses a pressure electrolyzer comprising a pressure vessel ( 2 ) and an electrolytic-cell block ( 3 ) arranged in the pressure vessel ( 2 ) and containing a plurality of electrolytic cells ( 4 ) combined in the form of a stack. The electrolytic cells ( 4 ) in each case contain anodes ( 11 ) and cathodes ( 12 ), and an electrolyte-circuit system is provided for supplying an anolyte to the anodes ( 11 ) and for supplying a catholyte to the cathodes ( 12 ), and wherein the electrolytic-cell block ( 3 ) comprises a housing ( 5 ) which is sealed relative to the interior of the pressure vessel ( 2 ). The invention provides that the housing ( 5 ) of the electrolytic-cell block ( 3 ), together with the pressure vessel ( 2 ), forms at least two chambers ( 7, 8 ) separated from each other, which constitute a part of the electrolyte-circuit system and which are defined relative to the electrolytic cells ( 4 ) by the housing ( 5 ) and relative to the atmosphere by the pressure vessel ( 2 ). In preferred embodiments, one of the chambers ( 7 ) which is separated from another chamber constitutes a part of an anolyte circuit, and another of the chambers ( 8 ) which is separated from said one chamber constitutes a part of a catholyte circuit. |
