HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH PRESSURE ELECTROLYZER, OF ALLOTHERMAL OPERATION.

摘要

High temperature electrolysis electrolyzer suitable for operation in an allothermal mode consisting of a container, at least one electrolysis plate, consisting of an associated anode and cathode, and means (10) for heating an active fluid intended to undergo a high temperature electrolysis, the container being able to withstand a high or very high pressure electrolytic bath, of several tens of bars, said heating means (10) being arranged inside the container and using a heat transfer fluid, the active fluid being a gas, the heating means being in the form of at least one plate arranged in parallel and adjacent to the electrolysis plate (8), the heating plate (10) having practically the same size as the plate (8) electrolysis and consisting of a metal cover in which there is a body of thermal exchanges (78) consisting of multiple channels that are extend from one end (8.1) fed with hot heat transfer fluid to one end (8.2) attached to a cold heat flow fluid manifold.
