Been busy for a while so Im just jumping back into testing my cell again. I have a cell built similar to a smacks. I used 1/16" nylon washers in between. Unfortunately the center plate has a 5/32" nut in between the nuetral plates on each side of it. The plate config is:
[ + N N N N N - N N N N N + ]
Output is not great, maybe 0.3-0.5 Lpm at best using a KOH & NaOH drain cleaner. I think the gap in the center is definitely a problem so I will fix that. But I think 5 nuetrals is too many for this particular cell. So Im considering make the cell config like this:
[ + + N N N N - - N N N N + + ]
By doubling the plates that have voltage to them you get more surface area for production. On the down side, possibly more heat since theres one less nuetral. But production would have to improve, then I could use less electrolyte which saves money. Do you guys think more surface area could be beneficial in the double anode setup above?
