Abstract
An electrolyser system comprises a water electrolyser having first and second electrode compartments, and a vessel having first and second chambers, the first compartment connected to the first chamber and the second compartment connected to the second chamber, via valved ports, wherein the first chamber also comprises a valved outlet and the second chamber also comprises a valved inlet, and wherein the system includes pressure sensing means to open or close the valves.

An electrolyser system comprising a water electrolyser having first and second electrode compartments, and a vessel having first and second chambers, the first compartment connected to the first chamber and the second compartment connected to the second chamber, via valved ports, wherein the first chamber also comprises a valved outlet and the second chamber also comprises a valved inlet, and wherein the system includes pressure sensing means to open or close the valves.
A method for militating against osmotic drag in an electrolyser having first and second electrode compartments and that produces hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis of water, which comprises removing water from the first electrode compartment into the first chamber of a vessel, and supplying water from the second chamber of the vessel into the second electrode compartment, wherein the flow of water is controlled by the relative pressures in the first and second electrode compartments.
