German term

Elektrodeneinschub

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Electrolysis
Context:

"Elektrolysezelle mit Elektrodeneinschub"
"Elektrodeneinschub am Cu-Bolzen fassen und vorsichtig herausziehen."

Initially I thought this might be some kind of channel or groove in the cell into which the electrodes are inserted, but having now encountered the second sentence given above I'm no longer sure. Unfortunately this item is not shown in any figures or diagrams available to me.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 electrode insert
2 electrode holding unit

electrode insert

i.e. an assembly/module comprising various electrodes (at least cathode and anode) that can be inserted together as a single unit. The following example is from an English-language patent application for a "Pressurized electrolyzer stack module" (United States Patent Application 20080083614):

FIG. 3 is perspective view of an electrode insert for the electrochemical cell stack of FIG. 2.

As best shown in FIG. 3, the anode 102 , bipolar plate 106 and cathode 104 are joined together to create an electrode insert 108 . The electrochemical cell structure 100 (FIG. 2) further comprises an electrode frame 110 . The circularly shaped electrode frame 110 comprises an electrolyte inlet 112 , a first electrolyte flow path 114 on a top surface 116 , a second electrolyte flow path 117 on a bottom surface 118 (shown with dotted lines), a seat 120 , an oxygen flow path 122 on a top surface 116 and a hydrogen flow path 124 on a bottom surface 118 (shown with dotted lines). An electrode insert 108 is positioned on a seat 120 .
