摘要 |
The invention relates to an electrolytic cell which is comprised of a first frame member housing an electrode and a second frame member housing an electrode. A separator is positioned between the first frame member and the second frame member. A first sealing means contacts a side of the first frame member and one side of the separator. Contacting the second frame member and the opposite side of the separator is a second sealing means. The first sealing means and the second sealing means are elastomeric solids having a substantially rectangular cross-sectional area where the first sealing means is from about 1.1 to about 3 times the width of the second sealing means. Pressing means are provided which press the frames together against the sealing means and the separator to form a substantially fluid-tight seal. The novel electrolytic cells provide the advantages of simultaneously: a. controlling gasket compression pressures, b. controlling gasket frame surface structural forces, c. efficiently forming a seal, and d. preventing gasket slippage.
