Abstract
Electrolyser for the production of a gas, comprising a battery (1) of electrolysis cells with membranes, in which the separation between the anode (8) and the cathode (28) is greater than the thickness of the membrane (4), an electrolyte degassing chamber (15), in communication with the upper part of the anodic (or cathodic) chambers (3), and an electrolyte recycling pipe (20, 21) joining the degassing chamber (15) to electrolyte distributors (10, 11, 12, 13) which are in communication with the anodic (cathodic) chambers (3) of the cells, the recycling pipe (20, 21) having a head loss coefficient which is equal, at most, to the overall coefficient of the head losses of the anodic (cathodic) chambers (3), of the distributors (10, 11, 12, 13) and of the degassing chamber (15).
