More Information
Summary:The invention relates to an electrochemical reactor which includes at least one electrochemical cell (6) having a membrane/electrode assembly (10) sandwiched between a first separating plate (24) and a second separating plate (26), the membrane/electrode assembly (10) having an electrolytic membrane (12) sandwiched between two electrodes (14, 16). Each electrochemical cell has a respective porous diffusion layer (32, 34) inserted between the membrane/electrode assembly (10) and each separating plate (24, 26). The or each electrochemical cell includes a spacing ring (36) inserted between a peripheral region (20) of the membrane/electrode assembly (10) and the first separating plate (24), and lacks a spacing ring between the membrane/electrode assembly (10) and the second separating plate (26), the spacing ring being configured such as to maintain a separation between the membrane/electrode assembly (10) and the first separating plate (24) and to ensure the seal between same around the active region (18).
