What is the function of the air seal tank and the nitrogen seal tank before entering the electrolyzer?
The function of a sealed tank is, of course, to provide sealing. The function of the nitrogen-sealing tank is to prevent air from entering the electrolyzer, while the function of the air-sealing tank is to prevent excessive leakage of nitrogen
A certain pressure is maintained on the cathode side to keep the pressure difference across the cell positive; when the cathode pressure exceeds a certain level, nitrogen is vented through the water seal
Are there air-sealed tanks? Connected to those devices?
The question posed by the original poster is too simple; if you want to get the answers you’re looking for on the forum, you first need to take your question seriously! I didn’t understand what you were actually saying; I could only pick out fragments. I think the air-sealed tank you mentioned is also likely a nitrogen-sealed tank, because no air is allowed to enter an ion-exchange membrane electrolyzer. I’m not sure what type of electrolyzer you’re using; based on your question, I assume it’s a cell from Asahi Kasei. The nitrogen seal tank mentioned earlier is designed to prevent excessive pressure in the event of an ion membrane leak. The nitrogen sealing groove at the back is used to maintain nitrogen pressure when draining the electrolyte. Please try to be more detailed when asking questions next time, OP.
Air is passed through the anode tank, while nitrogen is passed through the cathode tank. Both air and nitrogen have sealed tanks before entering the electrolyzer.
That makes sense. Attitude is the most important thing. But I really don’t understand the manufacturing process. All the questions are phrased vaguely. Improvement next time.
In my understanding, the function of the two sealed tanks is to allow for overpressure discharge, thereby preventing excessive air and nitrogen pressures, large pressure differences in the electrolyzer, or negative pressures from causing mechanical damage to the membrane.
It is recommended that next time you ask a question, first indicate which company’s manufacturing process is being used
I don’t understand how to create an air seal; I only know about liquid seals. Is the gas seal the same principle as that in a buffer tank?
