ABSTRACT:
Electrolytic chlorine gas generating apparatus including a housing, a volume of water inside the housing, a hollow salt cell disposed in the water in the housing, a volume of salt particles and of water in the salt cell, an anode mounted in the housing contacting salt solution in the salt cell, a cathode mounted in the housing, means for causing current to flow between the anode and cathode to generate chlorine gas at the anode, and a line attached to the housing to carry away chlorine gas produced by the anode. The apparatus, when the water level in the salt cell becomes low and the top of the salt solidifies into a "dome", prevents chlorine gas from accumulating beneath the solidified salt dome and exploding. In addition, the apparatus, by preventing direct contact of salt particles with the anode, minimizes or eliminates corrosion of and the formation of a coating of solid electrolytic by-product material on the anode, thereby minimizing maintenance of the apparatus and extending the operation life of the anode.
