  • Internally-reinforced water electrolyser module
    Patent number: 9187833
    Abstract: A structural plate is provided for an electrolyzer module. The structural plate defines at least one degassing chamber and a half cell chamber opening. The structural plate is reinforced with at least one internal reinforcing means mounted to the structural plate for mitigating outward displacement of the structural plate in response to fluid pressure within the structural plate. The structural plate defines holding features for locating and holding the internal reinforcing means.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 1, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 17, 2015
    Assignee: Next Hydrogen Corporation
    Inventors: Chris Wilson, Michael Stemp, James Hinatsu
  • Externally-reinforced water electrolyzer module
    Patent number: 9133553
    Abstract: A structural plate with external reinforcing means is provided for an electrolyzer module. The structural plate defines at least one degassing chamber and a half cell chamber opening. The external reinforcing means contact the structural plate for mitigating outward displacement of the structural plate in response to fluid pressure within the structural plate. The structural plate and the external reinforcing means define interlocking features for achieving contact and corresponding mechanical reinforcement.
