Why should the hydrogen production electrolyzer discharge during maintenance?

The reason why hydrogen production electrolyzer needs discharge maintenance is to ensure safety. In the process of hydrogen production, a large amount of hydrogen and oxygen will be produced in the electrolyzer. If it is not discharged or consumed, it may cause an explosion accident during maintenance.

Therefore, before the overhaul of hydrogen production electrolyzer, the water in it must be separated into hydrogen and oxygen, and then discharged or consumed. This process is called discharge. By discharging, all generated combustible substances can be removed, thus avoiding any unexpected situation.

In short, any equipment maintenance work involving high pressure, high temperature, flammability and other dangerous factors should be very cautious and operate in strict accordance with relevant regulations to ensure the safety of personnel.
