Abstract:
An apparatus for generating at least one chemical by electrolysis comprising:an anode plate; a cathode plate opposing said anode plate; at least one sealing gasket interposed between said cathode plate so as to form a reaction chamber between said anode plate and said cathode plate; an anolyte reaction chamber attached to said anode plate essentially directly opposite said sealing gasket, said anolyte reaction chamber being in fluid communication with said anode plate; a catholyte reaction chamber attached to said cathode plate essentially directly opposite said sealing gasket, said catholyte reaction chamber being in fluid communication with said cathode plate; at least one tubular member in fluid communication with said anolyte reaction chamber, wherein said tubular member is composed of a transparent material and is attached to said anolyte reaction chamber such that the volume of a first liquid present in said anolyte reaction chamber can be determined by the volume of the first liquid present in said anolyte reaction chamber tubular member; and at least one tubular member in fluid communication with said catholyte reaction chamber, wherein said tabular member is composed of a transparent material and is attached to said catholyte reaction chamber such that the volume of a second liquid present in said catholyte reaction chamber can be determined by the volume of the second liquid present in said catholyte reaction chamber tubular member.
