ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION DEVICE |
(57) An electrochemical reaction device includes: a structure that includes: a cathode;
an anode; a diaphragm, a cathode chamber; and an anode chamber; a first to a fourth
flow path through which a first to fourth fluid flows respectively; at least one controller
selected from a first and a second flow rate controller, a first and a second pressure
controller, a temperature controller and a power supply, the controller including
the first flow rate controller; a gas/liquid separator in the middle of the fourth
flow path; a first flowmeter that measures a flow rate of the third fluid; a second
flowmeter that measures a flow rate of the fourth fluid; and a control device that
measures the sum of the flow rates of the first, third and fourth fluids and controls
the controller according to the sum to control a pressure difference between the chambers.
