Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018193071A1] The invention is based on an electrochemical device, in particular an electrolysis device, in particular a polymer-electrolyte-membrane electrolysis device, with at least one cell unit (12a-d), which comprises at least a first electrochemical cell (14a-d) and at least a second electrochemical cell (16a-d), and with at least one fluid supply unit (18a-d) for supplying the cell unit (12a-d) with at least one fluid, in particular with water, which comprises at least a first fluid supply path (20a-d), which at least partly leads through the first electrochemical cell (14a-d), and at least a second fluid supply path (22a-d), which at least partly leads through the second electrochemical cell (16a-d). It is proposed that the fluid supply unit (18a-d) is formed in such a way that, in at least a normal operating state, a volumetric flow of the fluid through the first electrochemical cell (14a-d) and through the second electrochemical cell (16a-d) is at least substantially identical.
