What are electrolyzers?
Without electrolysis there is no green hydrogen and thus no nationwide and long-term reduction of emissions - but how is hydrogen actually produced? What is an electrolyzer and what types are there? What role do cell voltage and current density play in electrolysis and what contribution does DiLiCo engineering's measurement technology make to improving this technology? These questions will be answered in the following.
The electrolyzer is one of the essential hydrogen technologies of a hydrogen economy. With its help, water can be split into its components hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolysis thus represents the reverse reaction of the fuel cell. An electrolyser consists of several electrolysis cells arranged in a row, in which the necessary redox reaction is forced by supplied electrical energy.
