Abstract (en)

A device (1, 2), a method for electrolysis and a use of the device to perform electrolysis are provided. The device (1,2) comprises heat transfer plates (5) defining alternately arranged first and second interspaces (I1, I2) and, within these, first and second flow channels (C1, C2). A first fluid path (P1) for conveying a first fluid through the device (1, 2) extends through the first flow channels (C1). The device is characterized in that membanes (45) are arranged in the second flow channels (C2) to divide them into second primary sub channels (C2P) and a second secondary sub channels (C2S). Further, a second fluid path (P2) for conveying the second fluid through the device (1, 2) comprises a second primary fluid path (P2p) and a second secondary fluid path (P2s). The second primary fluid path (P2p) extends into and out of the second primary sub channels (C2P) via the first interspaces (I1) outside the first flow channels (C1). The second secondary fluid path (P2s) extends into and out of the second secondary sub channels (C2S) via the first interspaces (I1) outside the first flow channels (C1).
