This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the on-site generation of relatively small quantities of a halogen gas, preferably chlorine gas. The apparatus has at least one electrolytic cell having an anolyte section and a catholyte section. At least one of these sections is connected, by fluid conduits, to a fluid heater which heats an electrolyte solution prior to its ingress into the section. Heating also facilitates circulation of the electrolyte solution through the apparatus by means of a thermosyphon effect. The heating element is, in turn, connected to an electrolyte replenishment means. The apparatus includes at least one gas separator which separates gas produced in the electrolytic cell from electrolyte solution. The apparatus lacks a reservoir for the storage of electrolyte solution.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé pour la génération sur site de quantités relativement petites d'un gaz halogène, de préférence du chlore. L'appareil comprend au moins une cellule électrolytique présentant une section anolyte et une section catholyte. L'une d'entre elles au moins est connectée, par des conduits pour fluide, à un élément chauffant de fluide qui chauffe une solution électrolyte avant qu'elle ne pénètre dans la section. La chaleur facilite aussi la circulation de la solution électrolyte à travers l'appareil en raison de l'effet de thermosiphon. L'élément chauffant est, à son tour, connecté à un organe de réapprovisionnement en électrolyte. L'appareil comprend au moins un séparateur de gaz qui sépare le gaz généré dans la cellule électrolytique de la solution sans nécessiter de réservoir pour stocker la solution.
