Abstract
Disclosed is a bipolar electrolyzer having an anolyte equalizer between adjacent electrolytic cells. The electrolyte equalizer includes a conduit which passes through the cathode of one cell and through the catholyte chamber of that cell to a first aperture in the peripheral wall around the electrolyzer. The equalizer also includes a second aperture which passes through the electrolyzer peripheral wall to the anolyte chamber of the next adjacent cell in the electrolyzer. Finally, a channel carrier having an outer wall with a bearing surface and an inner wall with a bearing surface, the inner and outer walls forming a channel communicating with each of the apertures, and the bearing surfaces bearing against the peripheral wall, provides the equalizing channel between the adjacent cell.
