ELECTROLYTIC CELL TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN FROM WATER Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C25B9/10 C25B1/10 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises casing to accommodate cells connected in series and composed of cathode, anode, gastight membrane arranged there between, pump to circulate alkaline electrolyte, tanks with alkaline electrolyte, water feed system, device to separate oxygen from water and alkali vapors and device to separate hydrogen from water and alkaline vapors. Anode of every cell is composed of screen tube while cathode is composed of hollow cylinder made from porous water-repellant material. Note here that anode and cathode are located close to gastight membrane to form cathode gas chamber between outer side of cathodes and casing connected with hydroseal chamber, alkaline electrolyte tank and device separating hydrogen from water and alkali vapors. Cell anode chambers are connected with heat exchanger and alkaline electrolyte tank communicated with device separating oxygen from water and alkali vapors and water feed system.

EFFECT: power savings, higher efficiency, reliability and safety.
