The PEM electrolyzer has a high current density and energy efficiency, and can produce more hydrogen in a smaller volume. In PEM hydrogen production equipment, the main purpose of the pure water tank is to provide a high-purity water source for the electrolysis process to ensure the smooth progress of the electrolysis process. By centrally managing the water source and treatment process, the pure water tank can reduce water resource consumption and improve overall economic benefits.

[0026] Working principle: PEM proton exchange membrane hydrogen production equipment is a technology that uses proton exchange membrane to electrolyze water to generate hydrogen. The working principle of this equipment is based on the process of water electrolysis. By applying electric current, water molecules are decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. PEM electrolyzer has high current density and energy efficiency, and can produce more hydrogen in a smaller volume. In PEM hydrogen production equipment, the main purpose of the pure water tank is to provide a high-purity water source for the electrolysis process to ensure the smooth progress of the electrolysis process.
