Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé visant à relier directement des cellules électrochimiques à des électrolyseurs (2) d'installations électrochimiques produisant de l'hydrogène en tant que sous-produit. L'hydrogène de récupération sert à alimenter les cellules électrochimiques et l'énergie électrique ainsi produite est transférée aux électrolyseurs (2)- rectificateurs (3), ce qui permet de réduire la consommation globale d'énergie. Ce couplage direct rend inutile l'utilisation de convertisseurs C.C./C.A. ou de régleurs de tension et peut être mis en oeuvre par liaison série ou par liaison parallèle. Dans ce dernier cas, les cellules électrochimiques sont regroupées en modules. On ajuste le nombre et la tension de ces modules au moyen d'interrupteurs (9, 10, 11) activés par un système de supervision et de commande informatique. Il est également possible de faire varier la tension des modules en agissant sur la pression de l'air d'alimentation des cellules électrochimiques.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the op-timized negotiation of communication parameters for a transmis-sion of data in communication links. A list is initialized in a communication initializing device and is sent one after another to all devices involved in the communication during the connec-tion set-up phase. Each of the devices adds its own and most suited transmission parameters to the list. Said parameter list is sent to the communication initializing device by the last device involved in the communication. The initializing communication device finally selects the transmission parameters. The parameter list established in this way is one after another sent to all devices involved in the transmission to inform them on the valid param-eter selection. Each device configures its parameter setting or a corresponding connection by means of the received parameter list.  Thus, a configuration of the devices involved in the communica-tion is effected for the subsequent data transmission.
