Abstract

This paper presents the development of key components, specifications, configuration and operation characteristics of an 80 l/h Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolyzer system for portable application. The developed PEM water electrolyzer can produce 80 l/h hydrogen (purity > 99.99%) with moderate pressure range up to 500 kPa (73 psi) at an operating current of 100 A with energy efficiency of 77.48%. The reliability in operation of developed PEM water electrolyzer system is tested for running the stack about 3000 h with 100 A current. The results indicate the reasonable stability of MEA fabrication and cell design method.
