Video tutorial on the working principle of chlorine gas energy storage

How does a chlorometer work?

Chlorine gas delivered either directly from tanks or cylinders or from evaporators, is measured and expanded to service pressure in a unit called a chlorometer. The vacuum chlorometer principle is based on changes in chlorine output controlled by modulating a vacuum created by an injector where the chlorine gas is dissolved in the injector water.

How does a liquefied chlorine tank work?

The liquefied chlorine flows by gravity via a siphon in to the Chlorine Storage Tanks. The siphon must be always vented to the compressor discharge. The sniff gas is sent to the Hydrochloric Acid Synthesis or alternatively to the waste air dechlorination unit.

How does a chlorine liquefier work?

CHLORINE LIQUEFACTION The dried and compressed chlorine gas is liquefied in one single stage in the Chlorine Liquefier. The liquefied chlorine flows by gravity via a siphon in to the Chlorine Storage Tanks. The siphon must be always vented to the compressor discharge.

How do I store chlorine?

For chlorine storage, please refer to current legislation and to the general information provided in sub-chapter 1 (general provisions). Chlorine can be distributed from storage containers to the feeding unit (chlorometer) as follows: or as a liquid for higher flow rates.

How does a chlorine vacuum work?

The vacuum is created by an injector that is also used to dissolve the chlorine in water. This type of unit is particularly well suited to low chlorine flow rates and can be fitted direct onto the chlorine cylinder head; it is occasionally coupled to the cylinder head by a short hose.

How does a chlorine pressure controller work?

The set point of the pressure controller is controlled by the chlorine pressure controller. In addition the compressor unit has four capacity steps, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% for further capacity control in order to keep the suction pressure in the design range.
