    摘要: An electrolyzer of the cell-stack type, including a first and a second end plate having a plurality of axially stapled cells in-between the cell stack, a manifold for electrolyte flow from an electrolyte inlet in one of the end plates, the manifold having a plurality of diverting portions diverting primarily axial electrolyte flow into electrolyte flow primarily in the radial plane, and further having a bypass directing electrolyte flow to one of the diverting portions bypassing another one of the diverting portions which is axially closer to the electrolyte inlet than the one diverting portion.

    摘要: A compression apparatus includes at least one compression unit, an anode end plate provided on an anode separator, a cathode end plate provided on a cathode separator, and a plate-like member. The compression apparatus causes, by using the voltage applier to apply a voltage, protons taken out from an anode fluid that is supplied to the anode to move to the cathode via the electrolyte membrane and generates compressed hydrogen. The plate-like member is provided with a recess in which to store the compressed hydrogen and a groove portion that surrounds an outer periphery of the recess. The groove portion is provided with a seal material and a ring material that is adjacent to an outer edge of the seal material and that surrounds the seal material. An outer peripheral surface of the groove portion and an outer peripheral surface of the ring material are both provided with gradients so as to become wider toward an opening of the groove portion.

    摘要: An electrolysis system with a buffer tank An electrolysis system for production of hydrogen and/or oxygen comprising a stack of electrolysis cells inside a pressure vessel (18). Each electrolysis cell in the stack comprises a membrane (82A, 82B) and a cassette (12) made of a bipolar plate (74) sand-wiched by a cathode (30B) and an anode (78) forming a cathode compartment and an anode compartment on each side of the bipolar plate (74). The stack is enclosed in a container constituting a buffer container for storing hydrogen released in the stack. The stack has an outlet constituting a hydrogen outlet for flow of hydrogen gas into said buffer container for filling the buffer container with hydrogen gas.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolyser cell. A direct electric current is applied to the water electrolyser cell. Water molecules are allowed to diffuse from a cathode compartment through a polymer electrolyte membrane into an anode compartment, to oxidize water molecules at an anode catalyst layer into protons, oxygen and electrons. The protons are allowed to migrate through a polymer electrolyte membrane into the cathode compartment and the protons are reduced at a cathode catalyst layer to produce hydrogen. The cell is supplied with water to the cathode compartment, and humidified air is supplied to the anode compartment. The invention also relates to a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolyser cell, a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolyser stack and a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolyser system.
