The gas is collected as the product, and the liquid flows back to the electrolytic hydrogen production system. The traditional horizontal gas-liquid separator adopts a simple gravity separation principle. The gas is lighter than the liquid. The gas flows out from the top of the gas-liquid separation tank, and the liquid flows into the bottom of the gas-liquid separator and returns to the system circulation. However, the separation efficiency of this separator is low, resulting in a higher water content in the product gas, which increases the subsequent purification cost.
