Method of operating an electrolysis cell for the production of gases under hydrostatic pressure
Abstract
Abstract A method of carrying out an electrolytic process for producing gases in an electrolyzer comprising at least one electrolytic cell and a containment vessel therefor, said method comprising supplying electric power to said electrolyzer from an external source during operation thereof, subjecting said vessel to an external superatmospheric hydrostatic pressure, continuously charging said electrolyzer with electrolyte under pressure and while operating pressure of the continuous electrolytic system by collecting the produced gases external to said electrolyzer and external hydrostatic pressure against said collected gases generated and being in fluid communication with the interior of said electrolyzer so that said internal and external pressures are approximately the same during said operating.
