ELECTROLYZER, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/203319
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an electrolyzer which houses a stack obtained by stacking a plurality of electrolytic cells, wherein by automatically adjusting the position of the locking mechanism of a safety device, the pressing force applied to the stack is maintained. The electrolyzer 1 comprises: a stack 30 obtained by stacking a plurality of electrolytic cells 10 with membranes 20 interposed therebetween; a pressing plate 40 positioned on one end of the stack 30 in the stacking direction; an actuator 50 which generates a pressing force in the stacking direction by moving the pressing plate 40; a safety device 60 which is constituted to maintain the pressing force by having the locking mechanism 63 come into contact with the contact plate 61, thereby hindering the retraction of the pressing plate 40, when the actuator 50 is not operating; and a control device 80 which adjusts the distance between the contact plate 61 and the locking mechanism 63 within a specific range, so as to maintain the pressing force that acts upon the stack 30.
