H2E technology is a modular system that achieves optimal conditions for electrolysis of water in order to obtain the maximum efficiency of its product. H2E is not just another name for a gas obtained by electrolysis of water. The experts behind H2E possess great know-how, which has been translated into a completely new technology for the production of hydrogen and oxygen gas of repeatable quality and its application.

A large number of talented experts are intensively working on the research and development of H2E technology with great enthusiasm, with great support from the scientific community and numerous experts. The enormous potential of technology, from which a whole range of new, almost revolutionary products can be created, is sufficient motivation for further work.

The solution to the previous problems

The technical problem that is solved by H2E technology consists in the following: how to structurally solve a modular electrolyzer that allows simple and easy regular connection of cell stacks with the aim of optimizing the capacity of the device without affecting the quality of the gas, in order to achieve an efficient electrolysis process that produces hydrogen, oxygen or some the second product as an electrolysis product of optimal quality and quantity adapted to the needs of the consumer.

How to manage the duration of the procedure of occasional treatment of the consumer, whereby the management procedure is based on the regulation of the form and intensity of the electric current of the electrolyzer based on the information of the database or through the feedback loop from the consumer to the productivity regulator, that is, how to achieve the repeatable quality of the operation of the electrolyzer, independent of the variable electrical conductivity , which is influenced by: the level of the electrolytic solution, the number of cells, the material from which the cells are made, the distance between the electrodes, the chemical composition of the solution, etc., and which has an analog liquid level meter in the electrolyzer.

Patented device and process for water electrolysis

The essence of the invention is the construction of an electrolyzer that enables the production of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas through a procedure in which the given form and intensity of the current can be maintained and repeated, regardless of the electrical conductivity of the electrolyzer, the number of cell stacks and the number of cells in the stack.

The essence of the invention is that the process of powering the electrolyzer is realized by a production regulator that manages the quality and quantity of the produced gas by means of a feedback loop on efficiency for a certain type of consumer, whereby the collected data from the feedback loop or from the information base are used for this purpose.

Productivity regulator

Management of electrolysis by means of a productivity regulator enables the use of solutions with an increased concentration of electrolytes, while at the same time it is possible to use minimum concentrations of electrolytes for a longer working life of the electrodes and a longer service interval, cheaper materials from which the electrodes are made in cases when a heater is installed in the electrolyzer or the temperature is the ambient temperature is always above zero, noting that in this way the electrolyzer has become significantly more resistant to lower ambient temperatures, i.e. its freezing point has been lowered, which is otherwise a big problem with most electrolyzers in use today.

Modular components

The essence of the invention is reflected in the fact that, according to the inventive idea, a modular electrolyzer is constructed that consists of one or more tanks, one of which can contain a dry filter housing, while the modules are designed to ensure self-support and easy installation of stacks of cells, the number of which is adjusted to the given capacity production.

With this type of integrated tanks located within the device, additional installations (hoses, pipes, connectors, etc.) which are normally part of similar electrolyzers, and which create the possibility of electrolyte leakage, significantly increase the size of the device and require additional supports or boxes for their installation, are avoided. placement as well as special assembly.

Modular subassemblies

The essence of the invention is that the construction of the device according to the invention enables a simple and easy connection of stacks of cells, which are placed in series, parallel or combined according to the necessary capacity and the designed power of the electrolyzer.

Integrated water filter

The novelty of the invention is that the filter housing is built into the tank in such a way that it automatically separates the condensate, which, like very small amounts of electrolyte, is returned through the vertical channels between the tank and the filter housing.

Analog level control

The essence of the invention is also represented by the fact that an analog meter with an overview scale on which the minimum and maximum are displayed is displayed on the tank, and the range between the minimum and maximum electrolyte level is designed in such a way that changes in the electrolyte level in that range minimally affect the characteristics of the electrolyzer.

Illuminated and clear scale

The novelty of the invention is also the fact that the analog meter with an overview scale is made as an illuminated plate with frosted fields which, when illuminated, reflect the light passing through the electrolyte so that the joining surface of the liquid and gas phases is clearly delineated and easily visible, which is important for more frequent electrolyte level control.

"CELL PROPORTIONS" that neutralize variable concentration

Of course, the significant novelty of the invention is also the construction of the cell, which is made so that the ratio between the height and thickness of the sealant, in relation to the effective surface of the electrode participating in the electrolysis, is such that it neutralizes the increase in electrical conductivity due to the decrease in the level of the electrolytic solution.

Water filter functionality

It is especially emphasized that the water filter produces gas of uniform humidity and temperature, while it is constructed as another module within the assembly and connected in such a way that when the device is cooled, the naturally occurring underpressure in the electrolyzer automatically withdraws distilled water with admixtures of electrolytes from the gas. which results in lower water consumption, automatic flushing of the water filter and maintenance of a constant concentration of the electrolytic solution during the service interval.

Safety membrane plug

The novelty is that the water filter is constructed in such a way that it safely releases the pressure created by the gas explosion in the gas phase of the filter through the safety membrane plug and at the same time prevents the penetration of the return flame into the electrolyzer.

Pressure operation and variable pressure functionality

It is especially emphasized that the electrolyzer withstands an increase in pressure by simply installing a choke or a valve between the tank and the water filter, especially in cases of the need for pulsed gas dosing in applications where a short-term increase in combustion intensity or a more efficient release of gas bubbles from the surface of the electrode is achieved in this way. This is very important in applications where the required gas production is higher than the nominal, that is, when it is necessary to pass through the device an intensity of electric current higher than the nominal for a certain usable area of the electrodes.

Productivity regulator

The essence of the invention is represented by the fact that, according to the invention, the intensity and shape of the electric current of the electrolyzer are regulated by the regulator of the electrolyzer, which solves the problem of the variable quality of the electrolysis product and the stable operation of the electrolyzer.

Neutralized unstable voltage

It is especially emphasized that by supplying the electrolyzer with the given form and intensity of current, the dependence of electrolysis on the voltage of the electricity source is completely eliminated, which is especially important when it is known that electrolyzers behave differently from other consumers, because their current-voltage characteristic is strongly non-linear, which is otherwise especially characteristic for electrolyzers with negligible current losses. It is also known that the influence of the electrolysis voltage threshold causes the existence of an electrolyzer voltage threshold below which the electrolyzer current is very small, and above the electrolyzer threshold relatively small voltage changes significantly affect the electrolyzer current.

The possibility of optimizing the power of the electrolyzer and optimal utilization of electricity

What makes the predmenti electrolyzer significantly different from comparable electrolyzers is the construction according to which the tanks and filters are integrated, which enables modularity and reproducibility, which with the management procedure that extracts optimal quality leads to the optimization of its dimensions without affecting the result. The technical solution of the electrolyzer in question and the procedure for its application lead to the fact that a significantly smaller amount of additives is sufficient, and therefore a significantly lower invested power and smaller dimensions.

Uniform and efficient heat removal (cooling)

The essence of the invention is also that, according to the author's idea, the temperature removal is most efficiently and evenly achieved using air-cooled electrodes, because this solution proved to be the most practical because the number of circuit elements does not increase, while in this case the cells are simply connected in the same way as in versions where cooling is not required.

Key functionalities of the productivity controller

In relation to the technical solutions known to the author so far, the application of an electrolyzer controlled by a regulator of intensity and shape of the current has several advantages, some of which are listed as follows:

• by regulating the current of the electrolyzer, it was achieved that changes in the electrical conductivity of the electrolyzer due to changes in temperature, voltage drop on the lines, as well as changes in the concentration of the electrolytic solution no longer affect the intensity of the current
• electrolyzers, which regulate the production of hydrogen and or oxygen gas in the manner described in the invention, have a much wider range of use in different temperature conditions, which represent a significant limiting factor for all other types of devices of this type
• alternating power supply of cell stacks enables one productivity regulator to power two or more cell stacks, so that the productivity regulator, in cases where the stack is powered by a train of pulses of a certain period, where the pulse lasts less than 50% of the time of the period, enables alternating power supply of two or multiple stacks of cells, so that both stacks are pulsed within one pulse train period, resulting in all stacks being powered by the same pulse train, with these trains shifted relative to each other by the duration of one pulse

Work mode

It is significant that in the case of occasional additives, the operation of the electrolyzer is managed in such a way that the quality and quantity of additives, along with the optimal mode of operation of the consumer, play a key role in optimizing the duration of the process. It should be noted that the data on the work mode of similar consumers during the treatment of the consumer are already in the database and that the productivity regulator assigns the work mode to the consumer based on them or feedback. If communication between the consumer and the productivity regulator is not enabled, the consumer's mode of operation is managed by the operator based on the information he receives through the control panel, which is determined by the productivity regulator based on parameters about the consumer obtained through the feedback loop or from the database.
