Assembly useful as standby power supply for supplying continuous electric current to bipolar membrane electrolyser, comprises alternating current to direct current converter, system for storing electric energy, and power diode

摘要

The assembly comprises an alternating current to direct current converter, a system for storing electric energy, and a power diode (d). The converter, the electric energy storage system and the diode are arranged in series. The storage system is an electrical accumulator battery (b). The diode passes an electric current having an intensity of = 200 A and a reverse voltage of = 1000 V. Independent claims are included for: (1) a process for the electrolysis of an aqueous solution; and (2) an electrolysis unit.
