METHOD OF REDUCING ELECTRICAL POWER CONSUMPTION DURING ELECTROLYSIS BY USING GRAVITY

摘要

FIELD: chemistry.;SUBSTANCE: gases formed during electrolysis enter the buckets of a turned-over vertical bucket conveyor which, under Archimedes effect, rise and pull the conveyor belt with the buckets on the opposite side of the moving conveyor. Rotation of one of the shafts of the conveyor through a drive or directly provides rotation of the shaft of the electric generator which generates electrical energy which is transmitted to a power supply unit or directly to electrodes of the electrolysis apparatus, thus reducing overall power consumption of the electrolysis apparatus.;EFFECT: low power consumption during electrolysis.;12 cl, 1 dwg
