Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, specifically an automated water replenishment mechanism for a hydrogen production machine by water electrolysis. Background Technology
[0002] A water electrolysis hydrogen generator is a device that produces hydrogen by electrolyzing water, and it has wide applications in energy, chemical and other fields. During the water electrolysis hydrogen production process, the water in the electrolyzer is continuously consumed. If water is not replenished in time, the water level in the electrolyzer will drop, affecting electrolysis efficiency and potentially damaging the equipment. Water electrolysis hydrogen generators currently use manual water replenishment, which is not only inefficient but also cannot provide real-time and precise replenishment, making it difficult to maintain a stable water level in the electrolyzer and reducing the equipment's operating efficiency.
