Abstract:
1. A portable chlorine generator, comprising: an anode compartment, a cathode compartment, and an ion selective membrane positioned between said anode compartment and said cathode compartment; said ion selective membrane positioned between said cathode compartment and said anode compartment providing hydraulic isolation between said cathode compartment and said anode compartment; said ion selective membrane being efficient in preventing the passage of chloride ions from said anode compartment to said cathode compartment; said anode compartment and said cathode compartment utilizing a cell compression collar to provide positioning of said ion selective membrane and connectivity of said anode compartment with said cathode compartment; said anode compartment having an anode compartment access means providing access to said anode compartment interior while said cell compression collar is fully engaged; said anode compartment access means having sufficient size to allow the addition of a solid material and a liquid to said anode compartment; said cathode compartment having a cathode compartment access means providing access to said cathode compartment interior while said cell compression collar is fully engaged; said cathode compartment access means having sufficient size to allow the addition or removal of a liquid to said cathode compartment; said cathode compartment utilizing a pipe fitting connective to base of said cathode compartment; said pipe fitting having a long member with two cross-sectional openings in straight open connectivity at opposite ends of said long member and a short member with one cross-sectional opening in perpendicular open connectivity with said long member near midpoint of said long member; said pipe fitting positioned where a portion of said long member outer perimeter is engaged horizontally with a supporting floor and said short member vertically positioned near perpendicular to said supporting floor; said short member is vertically connected to said cathode compartment; said long member with two openings being plugged or capped to prevent leakage of liquid or material from said cathode compartment; said pipe fitting positioned with centerline of said long member at a sufficient horizontal angle relative to centerline of engaged said cathode compartment and said anode compartment providing gravitational support and stability of said portable chlorine generator; an anode disposed in said anode compartment having an anode face placed nearby said ion selective membrane; said anode having an anode stem exiting said anode compartment through a sealing means; a cathode disposed in said cathode compartment having a cathode face placed nearby said ion selective membrane; said cathode having a cathode stem exiting said cathode compartment through a sealing means; a gas outlet means communicating with said anode compartment and said cathode compartment; and said anode stem and said cathode stem are connective to a power supply.
