Asahi Kasei electrolyzer catholyte water seal tank
Thread Content
What is the function of the water seal tank in Asahi Kasei’s electrolyzer catholyte tank?
Is the poster referring to DP1234 at the tail of the trough?
The cell does not function during normal operation; during the shutdown process for liquid drainage and cleaning, if the cathode pressure exceeds 1 mH2O, the water seal will break to prevent the cathode pressure from becoming too high
Used for releasing pressure when the cathode pressure exceeds the water seal pressure during various operations after parking
Water seal tanks and liquid seal tanks surrounding the electrolyzer serve ultimately to prevent damage to the ion membrane caused by excessively high or low pressure differences.
The main function of this liquid seal tank is to maintain the pressure in the cathode chamber during the shutdown of the electrolyzer!
