Electrolyzer device having cooling structure

Abstract

An electrolyzer device includes a partition disposed in a housing for separating the housing into a chamber and a compartment, one or more heat generating elements received in the chamber of the housing, an insert or epoxy filled into the housing for retaining the heat generating elements within the chamber of the housing, and the housing includes an inlet port communicative with the compartment of the housing for receiving a fluid, such as water, brine, anolyte, catholyte, or electrolytic solution, and for heat exchanging with and for cooling the heat generating element, and includes an outlet port communicative with the compartment of the housing for outward flowing of the fluid.

1 . An electrolyzer assembly comprising:
 a housing,   a partition disposed in said housing for separating an inner portion of said housing into a chamber and a compartment,   at least one heat generating element received and engaged in said chamber of said housing,   an insert filled and engaged into said chamber of said housing for sealing and retaining said at least one heat generating element within said chamber of said housing, and   said housing including an inlet port communicative with said compartment of said housing for receiving a fluid and for heat exchanging with and for cooling said at least one heat generating element, and including an outlet port also communicative with said compartment of said housing for outward flowing of said fluid.   
     
     
         2 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said fluid is selected from water, brine, anolyte, catholyte, or electrolytic solution. 
     
     
         3 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said insert is selected from epoxy. 
     
     
         4 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said housing includes at least one fin extended therein for defining an inlet conduit which is communicative with said inlet port of said housing, and for defining an outlet conduit which is communicative with said outlet port of said housing. 
     
     
         5 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said housing includes a first fin extended therein for defining an inlet conduit which is communicative with said inlet port of said housing, and includes a second fin extended therein for defining an outlet conduit which is communicative with said outlet port of said housing. 
     
     
         6 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said housing includes an intermediate conduit formed between said first fin and said second fin, and includes a passage in a lower portion of said first fin for communicating with said inlet conduit and said intermediate conduit of said housing. 
     
     
         7 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said housing includes an upper pathway and a lower pathway formed in said second fin for allowing said fluid to flow into said outlet conduit and said outlet port of said housing. 
     
     
         8 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said housing includes a circuit board disposed and engaged into said chamber of said housing, and said at least one heat generating element is attached to said circuit board. 
     
     
         9 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one heat generating element is selected from transformer, capacitor, diode, transistor, rectifier, resistor, coil, or relay. 
     
     
         10 . The electrolyzer assembly as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a container, and an electrolyzer mounted on an upper portion of said container and including an entrance for receiving said fluid and including an exit coupled to said inlet port of said housing.
