A device for circulating an electrolyte in an electrochemical cell, an electrochemical cell provided with such a device, a battery of electrochemical cells, and a method for carrying out an electrolysis in a single cell or battery.

摘要

The invention provides an apparatus for circulating an electrolyte in an electrochemical cell whereby the cell is provided with a discharge (7) from the bottom to above the electrolyte level in the cell, causing that when a gas pressure is applied in the tank the electrolyte present therein flows into the space above the acid and that is further applied from a small opening at the bottom of the tank or of the discharge, which apparatus is characterized in that the tank (2) is provided with a float (3), coming on to the seating (4) when the tank is empty or substantially empty and thus limits the volume of the displaced liquid. Such an apparatus enables stirring the electrolyte by means of gas-supply (8) without the danger of bubbles. The apparatus according to the invention can excellently be used in electrochemical cells that are combined to batteries which enables a central gas-supply. This enables a simple and expedient circulation in the electrochemical cell.
