On the thermal characteristics of electrolytic cell
Mathematical analysis of the heat balance of electrolytic cell was investigated. Experimental results with a verticaltype water electrolysis cell under normal conditions agreed with calculation. The water vaporization is a major factor of heat loss from the cell and, hence, it must be reduced. The thermal behavior of a water electrolysis cell was simulated under normal and pressurized conditions with the equations proposed. It was clarified that the hea loss from the cell could be reduced by increasing the operating pressure because the water vaporization was a large factor of heat dissipation at high temperatures. The effects of the thermal insulation and the emissivity of the cell wall were also discussed.
