FLOW CELL DN-FC

Besides rortating disks, flow cells are a means

to operate electrodes at controlled laminar flow.

Since the counter electrode is placed in parallel

and opposite close to the working electrode,

appreciable currents can be achieved. So, flow

cells play their strength best when used for

galvanic deposition experiments.

Fig. 1: Test loop with DN-FC. Design flow rate up to 10 m/s,

operating limit 120 °C.

On the other hand, laminar flow along a surface

is the typical model for a flow in tubes.

Corrosion in flow systems therefore can be well

characterised by using flow cells.

One essential of flow cells is the absence of

edges causing turbulence. DN-FC strictly obeys

the rules for laminar flow channels. In addition,

both working electrode and counter electrode fit

smooth in the channel surface due to the

adjustable plug-in.

The DN-FC can be manufactured from perspex

glass, PVC, PVDF, PTFE or even PFA,

depending on the environmental demands.

Bank Elektronik- Intelligent Controls supplies

all necessary parts for complete test loops,

including pukps, heat exchangers, flow meters

and controls.
