Are there any precedents in China regarding what to do if re-absorption is required and the concentration of electrolyte in the large number of new cells is low? Everyone, let’s discuss it. # , , &

If it is well managed during the period of parking, it’s fine; we have left it parked for up to over four months, and after driving for a week, everything returns to normal. At the beginning, operate with as low a liquid level as possible while ensuring safety, but this will put considerable pressure on subsequent evaporation. My personal opinion is for reference only

When starting to operate the equipment, it is essential to pay close attention to ensuring that the operating current does not fluctuate too much, as this can prevent issues such as membrane detachment, dry cells, or high levels of hydrogen chloride – all of which are very dangerous. It is best to first select a few cells for sampling checks. This post was last edited by limingshuguang on 2009-2-4 at 21:16

The diaphragm cell in our company, which has been shut down for one or two months, is about to be put back into operation. Although the electrolyzer was protected with saltwater, it’s unknown what the condition of the diaphragm is now Are there any methods for testing and inspection? How long can the longest diaphragm cell be shut down before it can be used again? I invite my colleagues and experts to participate in the discussion.

There should be no problems for a month or two; just drive it and see how it goes. . We also stopped the car for about a month before starting it up again, and everything went smoothly. The membrane quality is fine, with no changes in alkaline concentration, chlorate levels, chlorine purity, etc. It depends on your own situation; it’s hard to say. But definitely, it needs to be started

We’ve never had a shutdown this long here; usually it’s only 3 to 5 days at most. But with the protection of lightly salted water, there should be no problem. Last edited by yzhms on 2009-4-2 at 13:37.]
