ELPHI-LYZER
Our innovative low energy electrolyzer system operates on a serial cell type design, where electricity flows from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. Each electrode plate within the system has the capability to produce hydrogen and oxygen simultaneously. Here's a breakdown of how the system works:
Tailored Flexibility for Diverse Applications
Serial Cell Configuration
The electrolyzer system consists of multiple cells arranged in a serial configuration. Electricity flows through these cells from the negative terminal of the first cell to the positive terminal of the last cell.
Hydrogen Production
The negative side of the first cell, which also serves as the final cell for hydrogen production in the system, exclusively generates hydrogen. This ensures efficient extraction of hydrogen gas from the electrolysis process.
Electrode Functionality
Each electrode plate within the system plays a dual role, generating both hydrogen and oxygen. This simultaneous production occurs during the electrolysis process.
Oxygen Production
In subsequent cells, including the second cell and other inner cells, oxygen is produced on the side facing the negative terminal, while hydrogen is generated on the side facing the positive terminal. This dual production occurs due to the flow of electrons through the plate-electrolyte-plate-electrolyte configuration.
Electron Pathway
Electrons travel through the electrode plates and electrolyte solution in a sequential manner, moving from one end of the cell series to the other. This electron pathway facilitates the electrolysis process and enables the simultaneous generation of hydrogen and oxygen across multiple cells. In our electrolyzer system, each cell's electrolyte is electrically isolated from the electrolyte in every other cell. This design feature enables several advantages, including the elimination of the need for a transformer.
Here's how it works:
Electrolyte Isolation
By ensuring that the electrolyte in each cell is electrically isolated from the electrolyte in other cells, you create distinct electrochemical environments within each cell. This isolation prevents unwanted interactions between cells and allows for independent control of the electrolysis process in each cell.
Transformer Elimination
Traditional electrolyzer systems often require a transformer to regulate voltage and current across multiple cells. However, in our electrolyzer type series cells, the isolation of electrolytes allows for direct electrical connection between cells without the need for a transformer. This simplifies the system design and reduces potential points of failure.
Efficiency Enhancement
Eliminating the transformer reduces energy losses associated with voltage conversion and electrical resistance. As a result, our electrolyzer system operates more efficiently, translating electrical energy into hydrogen and oxygen with minimal wastage.
Modularity and Scalability
The independent operation of each cell facilitates modularity and scalability in our electrolyzer system. You can easily add or remove cells as needed, adjusting the system's capacity to match hydrogen production requirements without complicated modifications to electrical connections or transformer configurations.
Cost Reduction
By eliminating the need for a transformer and simplifying the system design, our electrolyzer type series cells offer potential cost savings in both initial setup and long-term operation. This cost-effectiveness enhances the viability of our electrolyzer system for various applications, including industrial hydrogen production and renewable energy storage.
Within the electrolyzer system, the separation of atomic oxygen from atomic hydrogen is achieved through the utilization of a microchannel sieve of the energy barrier type. This innovative approach ensures high purity hydrogen production.
Our serial cell type electrolyzer system, the efficiency, also known as the coefficient of useful action, exceeds 76%. This indicates that a significant portion of the input energy is effectively utilized in the electrolysis process to produce hydrogen.
