<p>A fully automated current-controlled electrolytic cell assembly for the production of gases consists of a number of cell units, each cell unit comprising a cathode (1), constructed from a number of spaced parallel walls (2), forming a honeycomb-like structure, with apertures (3) of rectangular cross section. The structure may be extended from metal, fabricated from interlocking plates welded together or square section tubing cut to length and welded along the upper and lower exposed ends. The metal normally used is stainless steel. Metal rod-like conductor members (4) are welded to adjacent faces (5, 5a) of the cathode structure (1). An anode assembly (6) consists of an anode plate (7) having rod-like electrode members (8) spaced over the upper surface of the anode, so that when assembled with its cathode counterpart, the anode members (8) are positioned longitudinally within respective cathode apertures (3). Electrical conductor members (9) are attached underside of anode plate (7) for connection to the power supply. The electrode conductor members (4, 9) have apertures (10, 11) bored into their respective free ends. These apertures (10, 11) are internally threaded and aligned radially to the electrode assembly. In practice the electrolytic cell is housed within an apparatus for the production of electrolytic gas consisting of a housing having an internal chamber accommodating the cell, a gas chamber communicating with the internal chamber, a gas outlet port communicating with the gas chamber, a fluid inlet port communicating with the internal chamber for the resupply of 16 % NaOH/20 % KOH and power supply.</p> |
