(third stage)
As shown in fig. 11, the inlet valve is closed, the outlet valve is closed, the flush valve is opened, and the waste valve 51 is opened. The electrolyte enters the second space S2 of the filter device from the fifth opening 19, and then the electrolyte can pass through the filter body 37 from the second space S2 to the first space S1 and then out of the filter device through the drain 5. When the electrolyte permeates the filter 37, the precipitate clogged in the filter 37 can be washed away.
