Electrolyzer leakage
Thread Content
This post was last edited by sunjl1981 on 2013-1-6 at 21:46. Around 6 p.m. yesterday, during my inspection, I noticed that liquid was dripping from between the two back plates of the electrolyzer. Laboratory tests showed that the concentration of salts was 120 g/l and the concentration of alkali was around 20%. I informed the workshop supervisor, who ordered that the electrolyzer continue to operate and that the issue would be addressed the next day. I would like to ask, what is the appropriate way to handle this kind of problem? Do I have to stop the process, or can I continue? hcbbs !! . hcbbs
The earlier it stops, the better, for overall repairs. It’s mainly the fear of getting grounded.
Yeah, I thought the same last night, but the manager said there would be an assessment today and asked if I could hold things back a bit. It’s ridiculous – each unit of Woody has 72 screws, and all those units are packed tightly together; I couldn’t even find any exposed areas
It seems your supervisor is really an amateur; the sooner this situation is stopped, the better. The longer it persists, the faster the electrolyzer will be corroded, and it’s also unsafe.
Stop the vehicle immediately to check it and address the issue; if the leak is severe, it can lead to problems – the system may trip, and people could get injured
It seems that your management has not yet recognized the advantages of the “Woody” cells – these units can handle the workload just fine. I’d like to ask my friend how long the battery has been in use; it’s entirely possible to have the battery manufacturer come and check within three years to find out what is causing the leakage Under normal conditions, the cells in a Woody cell stack are “independent,” so the probability of leakage is very low. In short, cell leakage cannot be taken lightly; by analyzing the causes and formulating solutions, any issue that can be resolved promptly should be addressed as soon as possible. Everyone understands the relationship between chance and necessity! !
If the amount of leakage doesn’t increase, find a plastic bucket or basin to catch it. It should be fine for a short time.
The cells have been taken out of service today; under a current of 750A in 107 cells, 5 of them had a voltage below 1.90V. The voltages of the cells with leakage were normal, but the anode plates were corroded, and the adjacent cathode plates were also corroded. The new unit slots have now been reinstalled as replacements
It seems you are a good employee, as you identify problems in a timely manner and report them promptly
This company has extremely poor safety awareness; there’s a leak in the electrolytic tank, and they still decide to take samples for testing instead of stopping operations right away. If they don’t do that, things could get very serious.
You’re a responsible and handsome guy – I really admire you. You will achieve success, but before that there will be a preliminary stage of struggle during which you’ll feel lonely, isolated, and not understood or appreciated by others. Are you mentally prepared for that? An unexpected bonus is that I now know which company you work for.
