(Gu Mingsi thinks it’s for sealing, but the chlorine main pipe is clearly a complete pipeline – why is it necessary to add a branch and install a sealing groove? The chlorine-containing liquid in that groove returns to the anode solution tank; is it to remove the water that condenses in the chlorine main pipe?) ）
Which brand is the battery used by the original poster? Does the cathode also have a hydrogen seal groove? If so, its purpose is to ensure the pressure difference in the cell. The function of the chlorine seal groove is to prevent high chlorine pressure from creating a negative pressure difference that could damage the membrane.
Well, the cathode does indeed have a hydrogen gas seal tank. Our electrolyzers are from the British company Inoes.
Dear moderator, could you explain it in more detail? How does it ensure the pressure difference?
The function of the sealing grooves for chlorine and hydrogen is similar to that of a water seal; the pressure at which the water seal fails corresponds to the maximum allowable pressure for chlorine and hydrogen, as any pressure above this level will cause leakage through the water seal. The pressure difference between the chlorine water seal and the hydrogen water seal at break-seal, as well as the pressure difference in the electrolyzer.
