| Advantages |
• Smaller electrolysis voltage due to the parallel stacking, resulting in larger electrical safety of operation |
• More homogeneous current feeding |
| • Absence of current leaks |
• Gain in voltage due to minored Ohmic drop in connectors/wires |
| • Impossibility of electrical shorts between anodes and cathodes |
• Smaller current intensity, resulting in less expensive electrical transformer/rectifier |
| Drawbacks |
• Less homogeneous current feeding |
• Larger installation voltage, inducing electrical safety issues |
| • Larger number of electrical contacts/wires |
• Possible current leaks between the inlets/outlets of electrolyte, feeding the cells in parallel (high potential differences applied to the same channel) |
| • Larger current intensity, resulting in more expensive electrical transformer/rectifier |
• Risk of contact failure between two neighbouring anodes/cathodes |
