Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un électrolyseur constitué par un empilage de cellules entouré d'une enceinte tubulaire horizontale.The present invention relates to an electrolyser constituted by a stack of cells surrounded by a horizontal tubular enclosure.
Les électrolyseurs, tels que ceux destinés à la production industrielle d'hydrogène et d'oxygène par électrolyse de l'eau, sont constitués par un empilage d'un très grand nombre-de cellules élémentaires, ledit empilage étant placé dans une enceinte tubulaire, généralement pressurisée et cylindrique.Electrolysers, such as those intended for the industrial production of hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis of water, consist of a stack of a very large number of elementary cells, said stack being placed in a tubular enclosure, generally pressurized and cylindrical.
Une telle enceinte doit pouvoir être rapidement et aisément démontée, afin de permettre l'entretien des cellules avec le minimum de perte de temps.Such an enclosure must be able to be quickly and easily dismantled, in order to allow the maintenance of the cells with the minimum loss of time.
La présente invention se rapporte à un électrolyseur à enceinte tubulaire horizontale à démontage rapide. Il est caractérisé en ce que ladite enceinte tubulaire est constituée par un socle fixe vertical et par un corps tubulaire horizontal mobile longitudinalement et monté sur un disposif de roulement.The present invention relates to an electrolyser with a quick-disassembly horizontal tubular enclosure. It is characterized in that said tubular enclosure is constituted by a vertical fixed base and by a horizontal tubular body movable longitudinally and mounted on a rolling device.
La présente invention concerne également un procédé de démontage d'un électrolyseur de ce type caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à enlever ledit corps tubulaire par translation horizontale et à placer au fur et à mesure dudit enlèvement, des cales de soutien sous le corps de la pile de cellules d'électrolyse laisse à nu par ledit enlèvement.The present invention also relates to a method for dismantling an electrolyser of this type, characterized in that it consists in removing said tubular body by horizontal translation and in placing, as and when said removal, support wedges under the body of the stack of electrolysis cells left bare by said removal.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- - la figure 1 représente schématiquement un électrolyseur conforme à l'invention, son enceinte tubulaire étant en position de fermeture ;
- - la figure 2 représente schématiquement l'électrolyseur de la figure 1, avec son enceinte tubulaire en cours d'ouverture ;
- - la figure 3 est une coupe schématique axiale de l'électrolyseur de l'invention, suivant la ligne AA' de la figure 1.
- - Figure 1 schematically shows an electrolyser according to the invention, its tubular enclosure being in the closed position;
- - Figure 2 schematically shows the electrolyser of Figure 1, with its tubular enclosure being opened;
- - Figure 3 is a schematic axial section of the electrolyser of the invention, along the line AA 'of Figure 1.
En se reportant à l'ensemble des figures 1 et 3, l'électrolyseur de l'invention est constitué d'un empilage horizontal 4 d'un très grand nombre de cellules élémentaires d'électrolyse, cet empilage étant maintenu en place sur le socle de base 2 à l'aide de la plaque de maintien 14 et de huit tirants 3.Referring to all of FIGS. 1 and 3, the electrolyser of the invention consists of a
La plaque de base 2 de l'électrolyseur est verticale et est fixée à demeure à un socle horizontal 8 constituant le chassis de l'appareil. Par ailleurs, l'empilage 4 est entouré d'un corps cylindrique 1 horizontal et amovible venant, en position de fermeture telle que représentée sur la figure 1, s'accoler contre la plaque de base 2, l'ensemble (1,2) constituant l'enceinte de l'électrolyseur. L'empilage 4 repose sur deux rampes de roulement 5, elles-mêmes reposant sur la partie inférieure de l'enveloppe 1 par l'intermédiaire de galets de roulement 6 et de galets de guidage latéraux 11. Par ailleurs, l'enveloppe cylindrique 1 repose elle-même, par des pieds 15, sur le socle horizontal 8 par l'intermédiaire de galets porteurs 7 portés par les pieds 15, et de galets de guidage latéraux 13 également portés par les pieds 15.The
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, l'enceinte est attachée, par une fixation 16 à un cable horizontal placé dans le creux du socle 8, et s'entourant autour d'une poulie motrice 10 et d'une poulie de renvoi 17, de manière à pouvoir exercer sur l'enceinte 1 une traction horizontale vers la droite ou vers la gauche permettant respectivement l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'enceinte de l'électrolyseur, comme il sera montrÉ en référence à la figure 2.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the enclosure is attached, by a
La figure 2 montre l'opération d'ouverture de l'enceinte par dégagement latéral de l'enveloppe tubulaire 1.FIG. 2 shows the operation of opening the enclosure by lateral release of the
Pour cette opération, on entraîne la poulie motrice 10 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, ce qui tire la partie tubulaire 1 vers la droite. L'enveloppe 1 se déplace alors en roulant par l'intermédiaire des galets 7 sur le socle 8, la partie de l'empilage 4 restant à l'intérieur de l'enceinte 1 étant soutenue à l'aide des galets de roulement 6. Par ailleurs, conformément à l'invention, on place, au fur et à mesure de l'ouverture de l'enceinte de l'électrolyseur, des cales de soutien 12 sous la partie apparente de l'empilage 4 comme figuré sur le dessin.For this operation, the
Le positionnement des cales 12 au fur et à mesure de l'ouverture de l'enceinte peut être soit manuel soit automatique : par exemple, les cales 12 peuvent être des cales parallèlépipédiques couchées lorsque l'enveloppe 1 les recouvre sur le socle 8, et se relevant, par un dispositif classique de déclenchement à ressort, lorsque ladite enveloppe cylindrique 1 ne les recouvre plus.The positioning of the
L'invention trouve son utilisation pour la production d'hydrogène et d'oxygène à l'aide d'électrolyseur industriel.The invention finds its use for the production of hydrogen and oxygen using an industrial electrolyser.
