  • Chlorine generator and method
    Patent number: 4250126
    Abstract: A chlorine generator is disclosed as including an assembly for an electrolytic cell generating the chlorine and a separate assembly for feeding the chlorine gas into a body of water. The cell assembly preferably includes two separate electrolytic solutions separated by an ion permeable membrane, such that an anode and a cathode are positioned on each side of the membrane. The gas feed assembly is in fluid communication with the cell housing by two separate conduits which accomodate the flow of gas from the cell to the feed assembly, within which the gases are accumulated and intermixed with a portion of water which has been diverted from the main body of water to flow through the feed assembly and then back to the main body of water.This is a division of application Ser. No. 025,291, filed Mar. 30, 1979.

  • Chlorine generator
    Patent number: 4097356
    Abstract: A chlorine generator for the production of chlorine and hydrogen, with the chlorine being used for the treatment of swimming pools, sewage treatment facilities and drinking water is provided. The generator is characterized by an ion-permeable perfluorosulfonic acid membrane separating an anode and cathode compartment. Chlorine generation is controlled by an electrical timer, a chlorine pressure sensor gauge and, in an alternative embodiment, a chlorine sensor. Chlorine and hydrogen are withdrawn from the generator through aspirators and thereafter introduced into the water to be treated.
