Procedure for producing hydrogen and oxygen from water has one electrode formed by a number of plates that are fed with current independently and in succession

摘要

Electrodes (20, 30, 32) immersed in aqueous electrolyte and connected by conductors to power supply delivering 9 amps. At least one electrode, a cathode (32) is made up of a number of separate plates (32-1 to 32-9) fed with a current independently of one another and in succession, through a distributor (36). Each plate is fed with current for a given amount of time, ensuring that the tension in each plate stays above a pre-set threshold value. The procedure uses electrodes (20, 30, 32) immersed in an aqueous electrolyte and connected by conductors to a power supply delivering 9 amps. At least one of the electrodes, i.e. a cathode (32) is made up of a number of separate plates (32-1 to 32-9) that are fed with a current independently of one another and in succession, through a distributor (36). Each plate is fed with current for a given amount of time, ensuring that the tension in each plate stays above a pre-set threshold value. Each of the separate plates is fed through a triac switch to control the amount of energy delivered to it. The procedure takes place in a metal tank with two outer compartments (26, 28) to collect the hydrogen, connected to a central tank in which the oxygen is collected.
