Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co. KG has filed a patent for an advanced electrolysis system for efficient hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) production. The filing date for this innovation is June 6, 2024. This electrolysis system, featuring a unique differential pressure control mechanism, presents noteworthy improvements over existing technologies, particularly in gas separation and system stability.
Overview of the Patent
The electrolysis system comprises multiple electrolysis cells, each consisting of two half-cells separated by an ion-permeable membrane. These half-cells form an anode chamber for oxygen production and a cathode chamber for hydrogen production.
Key components include:
– Hydrogen Product Line: Directs hydrogen from the cathode chamber into the first gas separator.
– Oxygen Product Line: Channels oxygen from the anode chamber into the second gas separator.
– Differential Pressure Control Device: Equipped with a differential pressure sensor, this device determines and regulates the pressure difference between the anode and cathode chambers.
Unique Features and Improvements
1. Differential Pressure Control
2. Enhanced Gas Separation
