Definitions
- This invention relates to electrolytic devices, more specifically, to electrolytic cells, and can be used in various segments of technology for the production of hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis of water electrolytes.
- Known (RU Patent 2149921) is an electrolytic cell for the electrolysis of water comprising multiple electrodes in the form of a pile that form the anode, wherein each anodic electrode consists of a flat plate, multiple electrodes in the form of a pile that form the cathode, wherein each cathodic electrode consists of a flat plate, and the anodic electrodes interchange with the cathodic electrodes.
- said electrolytic cell comprises at least one first conducting connecting element passing through the interchanging anodes and providing for electrical connection only with each anodic electrode and at least one second conducting connecting element passing through the interchanging cathodes and providing for electrical connection only with each cathodic electrode.
- RU Patent 2228390 is a device for the production of heat power, hydrogen and oxygen comprising a case made from a dielectric material, a cover, anode and cathode cavities, a planar ring anode with openings located in the anode cavity and connected to the positive pole of the power source, a cathode in the form of a rod of a refractory material inserted into a dielectric tube with outer thread and connected to the negative pole of the power source, and a working solution supply port located in the middle portion of said anode cavity, wherein said cover is made from a dielectric material and has a cylinder-conic extension with a through opening forming said anode and cathode cavities jointly with the case, said dielectric tube is inserted into the inter-electrode chamber by means of its outer thread through a threaded opening in the case and centered in the through opening of the cover that forms said top cathode cavity, said anode cavity is interconnected with said top cathode cavity
- a device for the device for the production of heat power, hydrogen and oxygen comprising a case made from a dielectric material and having a through opening, an inter-electrode chamber, working solution supply and drainage ports, an anode connected to the positive pole of the power source and a cathode connected to the negative pole of the power source.
- Said case with an axial opening comprises a bottom cylinder-conic extension and a bottom cover forming jointly with said case said inter-electrode chamber consisting of an anode cavity and a cathode cavity interconnected in the bottom section.
- a planar ring anode with openings is located in said anode cavity.
- the cathode is in the form of a rod of a refractory material inserted into a threaded dielectric tube.
- Said dielectric tube is inserted into said inter-electrode chamber via a threaded opening in said bottom cover and can be moved in the vertical direction along the axial line of the device.
- the working solution container with an automatic solution level control system in said cathode cavity is connected with said anode cavity.
- Said device also comprises a cooling chamber for steam condensation and hydrogen separation the cavity of which is interconnected with the working solution supply port of said anode cavity.
- a vapor/gas mixture supply port of said cooling chamber is inserted by means of its thread into said case opening, and an oxygen output port is inserted into the top portion of said anode cavity.
- the known device operates as follows.
- the working solution is poured into a container from which is passes through a batching device and a float chamber to said anode cavity and said cathode cavity.
- the float of the float chamber closes the intake opening of said batching device.
- power is supplied, and the voltage is gradually increased until the generation of stable plasma in the cathode zone.
- the vapor/gas mixture produced at the cathode is supplied to the cooler.
- the steam exposed to the cold surface of the cooler pipe condenses, and the released gas emanates from under the reflector to the output port. Steam condensate is supplied to said anode cavity via a tube and the intake port.
- Oxygen released at the anode is supplied to the top portion of said anode cavity and is removed via a port.
- this hydrogen and oxygen production device operates automatically as well.
- the working solution is consumed, it is replenished in the receiver container.
- the nature of the physicochemical processes occurring in the reactor is that an electric field between the cathode and the anode where the cathode area is far smaller than that of the anode produces the initial cathode-focused ion flux of the alkaline metal present in the electrolyte. Due to a reserve of kinetic energy accumulated during cathode-oriented movement, the alkaline metal ions push hydrogen atoms from water molecules. Having reached the cathode, protons acquire electrons to form hydrogen atoms and emanate photons that form atomic hydrogen plasma at 5000 - 10,000°C.
- the energy of this plasma drives the thermal dissociation of water into hydrogen and oxygen and a release of additional energy which is easily indicated by the increased energy of the heated solution, evaporated water and collected gases. Electrolytic hydrogen release occurs simultaneously at the anode.
- the hydrogen plasma at the cathode is the source of thermal energy transferred to the. water solution and simultaneously the source of atomic and molecular hydrogen and oxygen.
- Disadvantage of the known technical solution is that the cathode is permanently inside the plasma zone dramatically reducing its service life. Furthermore, the device has quite a complex design.
- the object of this invention is to provide an efficient electrolytic cell for water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen.
- the plasma electrolytic cell comprises an anode and a cathode located in dielectric containers interconnected via a pipe in their bottom portions.
- the spiral shaped cathode is made from electrically insulated copper wire wherein said electric insulation has local breaks, the anode is planar, the cathode and anode containers have covers with embedded gas pressure adjustment valves, the top portions of the containers are connected to gas offtake devices, and the cathode and anode containers allow adding more electrolyte.
- cathode electric insulation is removed to form a stepwise pattern with 4 to 6 mm wide strips spaced 20 to 60 mm.
- the cathode preferably fills the cathode container.
- the electrolytic cell allows adding more portions of electrolyte to the bottom parts of the cathode and anode containers.
- the operation principle of the device provided herein is the same as the operation principle of the technical solution used as the closest counterpart.
- the technical solution provided herein allows producing hydrogen and oxygen from water electrolyte by plasma electrolysis and simultaneous separation of the gases.
- Plasma electrolysis is achieved by using a cathode providing for solution exposure of only some of its working zones that are not insulated from the electrolyte. This eliminates a single concentration area of high temperature plasma and allows distributing the heat load across a greater area of the cathode.
- Pulsed plasma formation in different cathode areas produces current pulses the average magnitude of which is far smaller than that reached when direct voltage and current are used for water electrolysis. This noticeably reduces the power consumption of electrolysis.
- the cathode located in the cathode container is preferably made from spiral shaped lacquer insulated copper wire. Homogeneous heat load distribution on the cathode is achieved by incomplete removal of cathode insulation to form intervals preferably less than 5 mm long and spaced 3-5 cm.
- the anode is located in the anode container and has a plate-like shape.
- the basic embodiment of plasma electrolytic cell is designed as follows.
- the plasma electrolytic cell comprises two dielectric containers, the cathode one and the anode one interconnected in the bottom portion with the dielectric pipe.
- the cathode and anode containers are connected to the common container via the pipes and through which they are replenished with electrolyte.
- the cathode is made from lacquer insulated copper from which the insulation is removed so as to form intervals up to mm long and spaced 3-5 cm.
- the cathode has a spiral shape.
- the anode has a platelike shape and is made from an electrically conducting metal.
- the cathode container and the anode container have the covers and in which the valves and are installed that adjust the pressure in the cathode and anode containers.
- Hydrogen leaves the cathode container through the valve and the pipe which directs it to a standard dryer.
