Ci/c Systems, nc. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Electrode-to-matrix thickness ratio of approximately 6:1 to increase moisture tolerance. Use of custom-blended cell matrices to provide increased stability to pressure differentials. Use of porous nickel (Ni) plaque electrodes activated for high cell performance, i.e., low cell voltages at a given current density. Liquid cooling to provide uniform temperature distribution. Low volume construction by providing three cells per inch. Internal electrical connections between adjacent cells for low intracell IR losses. Double O-ring seals between internal fluid cavities and the environ- ment for increased reliability. Gold-plated Ni current collectors and gas cavity spacers for long-term stability to the electrolyte environment. Only one single cell housing frame required per cell, injection molded from polysulfone for ease in fabrication. Water feed manifold located on top of the cell with individual feed tubes protruding to the bottom of each feed cavity to prevent electro- lyte maldistribution due to density gradients. Module Configuration The SFWEM consists of six cells retained between two stainless steel endplates. The two end cells were thermally insulated from the stainless steel endplates by two 0.64 cm (1/4 in) thick polysulfone insulation plates to minimize thermal end effects. Compression force was applied by ten 1.43 cm (9/16 in) diameter stain- less steel bolts. The completed SFWEM weighed 35.8 kg (78.9 lb) with the majority of the weight (32.5 kg (71.8 lb)) concentrated in the endplates and bolts. Flight versions of the endplates would be constructed with honeycomb material whic would red ce their weight by 60 to 70%. The SFWEM had a volume of 0.00909 m (0.321 ft ) and a size of 11.73 cm (4.62 in) by 25.4 cm (10 in) by 30.5 cm (12 in). Internal Current Connection The SFWEM used internal current connections between the anode current collector of one cell and the cathode current collector of the adjacent cell. This approach decreased internal resistance and simplified cell design. Figure 8 shows the method used to interconnect the two current collectors. A flat-head 26PDF Image | WATER ELECTROLYSIS MODULE
