Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
feeding a first electrolyte solution at a first inlet temperature to a first half cell of each of one or more electrolyzer cells via a first electrolyte feed stream, wherein each first half cell of the one or more electrolyzer cells comprises a first electrode;
feeding a second electrolyte solution at a second inlet temperature to a second half cell of each of the one or more electrolyzer cells via a second electrolyte feed stream, wherein each second half cell comprises a second electrode,
wherein the first electrode of each of the one or more electrolyzer cells is separated from the second electrode by a separator;
applying a current between the first electrode and the second electrode of each of the one or more electrolyzer cells;
controlling an electrolyte temperature at the separator of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells by adjusting one or both of the first inlet temperature of the first electrolyte solution of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells; and
the second inlet temperature of the second electrolyte solution of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells,
wherein the controlling of the electrolyte temperature at the separator of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells comprises feed-forward control of the electrolyte temperature at the separator of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells by adjusting one or both of the first inlet temperature of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells and the second inlet temperature of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells based on one or both of: the current between the first electrode and the second electrode of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells, and a voltage measured across the first and second electrodes of at least one of the one or more electrolyzer cells.
