Nonsaturable microdryer

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6061964
A nonsaturable microdryer is provided for electrolytically removing moisture from sealed containers, particularly electronic equipment. An electrode/electrolyte assembly is disposed within a channel between the interior and exterior of a sealed container. A catalytic barrier disposed between the interior of the sealed container and the electrode/electrolyte assembly prevents the build-up of explosive concentrations of hydrogen by converting back-diffusing hydrogen and oxygen back into water, which is then recycled. A semipermeable membrane disposed between the exterior of the sealed container and the electrode/electrolyte assembly allows selective removal of hydrogen and prevents intake of water.
