Study of Selected Characteristics of a Dry Cell Hydrogen Generator in Conditions of Long Term Operation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Hydrogen generator (HHO generator) is a relatively simply device where the oxygen and hydrogen are produced via water electrolysis. Mostly, water solutions of NaOH or KOH are used instead of pure water due to higher electric conductivity of these solutions. In these measurements, current of 2 A was set for three hours and changes in voltage, temperature, efficiency and hourly volume performance were monitored. All measurements were realized with 10% KOH and 10% NaOH solutions and the results were compared and evaluated. KOH solution is considered as a best available one because of its high chemical stability and efficiency of HHO gas production and NaOH solution was selected due to its low price and good availability.
