Electrolyte switching

Figure 4.9 illustrates transient-free switching through such electrolyte starters. This is a definite advantage of electrolytic switching over conventional Y/A or autotransformer switching. 

This type of switching provides very smooth acceleration. This is an advantage of electrolyte switchings over other conventional types of switchings. It exerts no kicks and calls for no special coupling arrangement to transmit the power smoothly to the drive if the requirement of the drive is to be precise and to have a smoother acceleration. 

The electrolytes are non-corrosive and the electrodes do not corrode with time. This feature is of special significance when compared with an ordinary liquid resistance starter used commonly for slip-ring motors. Electrolytes do not deteriorate and therefore do not require replacement. The evaporated liquid can be replenished with drinking water when the level of the electrolyte falls as a result of evaporation. In Europe such starters have been used for over 15-20 years. Electrolyte switching is a costlier proposition compared to direct on-line or star/delta switching due to additional shorting contactor and timer, and the cost of electrolyte, its tank and thermostatic control etc. The cost may. 

While these alternatives are better for you than white salt, it s still important to reduce your salt intake and acquaint yourself with the natural, subtler flavors of food. We ve become accustomed to the taste of excessively salted foods, which tend to dehydrate our bodies and unbalance our electrolytes. Switching...

For ruthenium, electrolytes based on ruthenium sulphamate or nitrosyl-sulphamate have been described, but the most useful solutions currently available are based on the anionic complex (H2 0 Cl4 Ru N Ru-Cl4-OH2) . The latter solutions operate with relatively high cathode efficiency to furnish bright deposits up to a thickness of about 0-005 0 mm, which are similar in physical characteristics to electrodeposited rhodium and have shown promise in applications for which the latter more costly metal is commonly employed. Particularly interesting is the potential application of ruthenium as an alternative to gold or rhodium plating on the contact members of sealed-reed relay switches. 

Changes in the reference electrode junction potential result from differences in the composition of die sample and standard solutions (e.g., upon switching from whole blood samples to aqueous calibrants). One approach to alleviate this problem is to use an intermediate salt bridge, with a solution (in the bridge) of ions of nearly equal mobility (e.g., concentrated KC1). Standard solutions with an electrolyte composition similar to that of the sample are also desirable. These precautions, however, will not eliminate the problem completely. Other approaches to address this and other changes in the cell constant have been reviewed (13).

The authors found that the water content of the system was important, as can be seen from Figure 3.54(a) which shows the volume of CO produced after 4h of electrolysis as a function of the percentage of added water, the maximum yield being obtained for the electrolyte having 10% added water. In the absence of water, the reduction occurred much more slowly and an orange species accumulated in solution, disappearing slowly when the current was switched off.
