Abstract
The electrolysis cell, e.g. for use in the construction of an electrolyzer for the production of hydrogen on an industrial scale, comprises an alternate series of electrodes 1 to 7 and plane diaphragms 8 to 13, which are parallel and separated from one another by spaces 58 in which an electrolyte can circulate between inlets 16, 17 located on one face 14 of the cell and the outlets 18, 19 located on an opposite face 15 of the cell. The inlet and outlet faces 14, 15 of the cell are parallel to the electrodes and the inlets and outlets communicate with inlet and outlet channels 21 to 23 which extend perpendicular to the electrodes and are connected together by passages between the electrodes and diaphragms, alternate passages being connected to different inlets for different polarity electrolytes.
