Definitions

  • a device suitable for generating hydrogen and oxygen, comprising an electrolysis unit for converting electrical energy into energy in the form of gas, wherein the electrolysis unit is a high-pressure alkaline electrolysis unit from which the generated gases are conveyed into pressure containers, wherein the high- pressure electrolysis unit comprises an assembly of tubes and pipes with a plurality of arrays of substantially vertical tubes, wherein each array is interconnected at the lower ends of said vertical tubes by substantially horizontal arrays of pipes, wherein said horizontal pipes are closed at their ends, with the proviso that at least one of said horizontal pipes has a water inlet, wherein said array of horizontal pipes is interconnected by one or more pipes which are positioned perpendicular to said horizontal pipes, wherein said assembly further comprises one or more openings for connections to the electrodes at the upper ends of said vertical tubes being closed and interconnected by a substantially horizontal array of pipes, wherein said horizontal pipes are closed at their outer ends, with the proviso that one level of pipes in said horizontal array of pipes has at least one outlet for hydrogen and
  • a ’’pipe is meant to indicate predominantly a round tubular to distribute fluids and gases, designated by a nominal pipe size (NPS or DN) that represents a rough indication of the pipe conveyance capacity.
  • NPS nominal pipe size
  • a ’’tube is meant to indicate predominantly a round, rectangular, squared or oval hollow section measured by outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness (WT), expressed in inches or millimeters. See also hitp://vwAv.werroac.om/Pipes/pipe vs tube.html the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the vertically positioned counter electrodes are surrounded by a top supported cylindrical membrane.
  • the membrane keeps separate the oxygen and hydrogen gases in combination with good electrical conductivity.
  • the high-pressure electrolysis unit comprises an assembly of interconnected horizontal and vertical metal tubes (1).
  • a water inlet is provided at the lower end of the assembly and two outlets are provided at the top of the assembly for exiting the produced gases hydrogen and oxygen, respectively.
  • the assembly of tubes and pipes is connected to an electrode, in this figure an anode (+), In the vertical tubes the counter electrodes (2) are contained, in this figure defined as cathodes (-).
  • a cylindrical membrane (3) positioned concentrically around the electrode is supported by a membrane support ring (4), which is rigidly fitted in the vertical tubes.
