Abstract

A Brown's gas generator includes a structure in which Brown's gas is independently generated in different portions within an electrolytic cell in which electrolysis of an electrolyte is performed, and water supply and water cooling are individually accomplished for the different portions, so that the temperature in the electrolytic cell is maintained in an optimal condition and the generation efficiency of Brown's gas is maximized.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A Brown's gas generator comprising: 
 an electrolytic cell having a structure in which flat-type pole plates/insulating plates are coupled in pair with another flat-type pole plates/insulating plates, which are in interfacial contact with the flat-type pole plates/insulating plates, to thereby independently generate Brown's gas, the flat-type pole plates and the insulating plates being fixed at the same positions upward and downward around a middle fixing plate, the flat-type pole plates and the insulating plates being coupled at a regular interval by the middle fixing plate;    an electrolyte adjustment means for circulating an electrolyte contained in the electrolytic cell to exchange heat of the electrolyte, and for replenishing a lack of the electrolyte;    a refrigerating means for adjusting a temperature of the electrolyte by refrigerating a heat exchanger of the electrolyte adjustment means to a predetermined temperature when the heat of the electrolyte is exchanged; and    a multi-stage demister installed in an upper portion of the electrolytic cell, for collecting Brown's gas in one place.    
   
   
       2 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 1 , wherein the flat-type pole plates facing each other are alternately set to a positive (+) and a negative pole (−) due to a voltage applied to an electricity lead-in unit passing through a lateral side of the electrolytic cell, and the electrolyte filled between the flat-type pole plates is electrolyzed to thereby generate the Brown's gas.  
   
   
       3 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 1 , further comprising a water level sensor disposed at a predetermined space of an inside of an electrolytic cell case.  
   
   
       4 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic cell case is formed of an insulator and the predetermined space has an area where the uppermost portion of the flat-type pole plate is the lowest point and a predetermined height of the insulating plate is the highest point.  
   
   
       5 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 1 , further comprising a water prevention screen installed between an upper portion of the electrolytic cell and the demister, the water prevention screen including a plurality of holes for preventing the electrolyte filled up to a lower portion of the electrolytic cell from being splashed to the demister while collecting the Brown's gas.  
   
   
       6 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte adjustment means supplies the electrolyte independently to the structure in which the flat-type pole plates/insulating plates are coupled in pair with another flat-type pole plates/insulating plates, which are in interfacial contact with the flat-type pole plates/insulating plates to thereby generate the Brown's gas independently.  
   
   
       7 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 1 , wherein the multi-stage demister includes a structure for cooling the Brown's gas.  
   
   
       8 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 5 , wherein the water prevention screen is formed with multi-layers, and holes formed in the water prevention screen are arranged alternately with respect to positions of holes formed in upper or lower layers to thereby minimize a splash of the electrolyte.  
   
   
       9 . A Brown's gas generator, the Brown's gas generator including an electrolytic cell, an electrolyte adjustment means for adjusting a water level of the electrolytic cell, a refrigerating means for lowering a temperature of the electrolyte, and a demister, wherein the electrolytic cell includes: 
 flat-type pole plates and insulating plates being installed at regular intervals, each pair of interfacial-contacted flat-type pole plates and insulating plates generating Brown's gas independently; and    a middle fixing plate for fixing the flat-type pole plates and the insulating plates at the same position upward and downward.    
   
   
       10 . A Brown's gas generator comprising: 
 an electrolytic cell having flat-type pole plates and insulating plates, one flat-type pole plate and one insulating plate forming one unit for generating Brown's gas;    an electrolyte adjustment means for circulating the electrolyte contained in the electrolytic cell to exchange a heat of the electrolyte, and for replenishing a lack of the electrolyte; and    a refrigerating means for automatically lowering a temperature of the electrolyte contained in the electrolytic cell.    
   
   
       11 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 10 , wherein the flat-type pole plates and the insulating plates are coupled at regular intervals by a middle fixing plate, and one unit consisting of the flat-type pole plate and the insulating plate generates Brown's gas without being influenced by another unit consisting of the flat-type pole plate and the insulating plate.  
   
   
       12 . The Brown's gas generator according to  claim 10 , wherein the electrolyte contained in the electrolytic cell is independently supplied and circulated to the respective units consisting of the flat-type pole plates and the insulating plates.
