3. Applying Anti-Sticking agent
• Apply uniformly on all gasets starting from anode terminal cell frame– Keep Small gap (about 5mm) between each cell frame for drying of Anti-Sticking agent
• Repeat above procedure for all cell frames• Slide all cell frames towards the loose head for membrane installation
– Harderng time of Toray silicon PRX-306 clear is minimum 4 hours. It absorbs mosture from the air and make a thin film on gasket surface

Confirmation & Preparation
![Page 51: Electrolyzer basics and membrane replacement](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081718/556d203cd8b42a540c8b4d43/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION
1. Insert two locking pins into the holes of cell arms2. Take rolled membrane out from the vat3. Pour DM Water on the anode and cathode faces4. Check the mark of “CATHODE SIDE” on membrane5. Set the membrane on the anode so as its each edge
almost equally protrudes beyond cell frame
Setting Membrane to cells
![Page 52: Electrolyzer basics and membrane replacement](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081718/556d203cd8b42a540c8b4d43/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANTa. Softly hold both sides of lower edge of membrane so as to press it
against the anode surfaceb. Be Careful not to make any wrinkles to the membranec. Do not pinch the membrane between the locking pins and the holed. Do not fall down the memrane on the floore. Do not nip your finger in between the cells
Setting Membrane to cells
6. Slide the cells towards the fixed head to fit the guide notch correctly and press the membrane between the cell frame
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for all cells except side terminal cell8. Pour DM Water outside of all membranes after every 30
minutes
![Page 53: Electrolyzer basics and membrane replacement](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081718/556d203cd8b42a540c8b4d43/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
MEMBRANE INSTALLATIONSetting Membrane to side termainal cells
1. Set the membrane to the terminal cell as mentioned2. Check that the guide notches are correctly fit3. Move the terminal cell frame with the loose head slowly
by hydraulic pressure4. Press the membrane at 10 Kg-F/cm25. Take off both terminal cells’ clamps6. Increase hydraulic pressure to 70 Kg-F/cm27. Check the guide notches of cells on side bars

MEMBRANE INSTALLATIONPRECAUTIONS
I. Take care of alignment in first time as the correction of alignment after membrane installation may cause damage to the membrane
II. Membrane installation and hose connection work should be done in one go as to avoid the drying of the membrane
![Page 55: Electrolyzer basics and membrane replacement](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081718/556d203cd8b42a540c8b4d43/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
