Design of a hydrogen generator which has 20 m³/h capacity by electrolysis and investigation of the effects of the porous electrode materials on parameters

Energy is one of the main factors which is determines their place in society the concept of a global world, in era we live in. In this context, communities are turning to renewable energy sources. Because, rezervs of fossil energy sources will be depleted in near future. The main purpose of this orientation, increase level of development using rich energy resources in terms of reserves without externally dependent. Reach unacceptable levels of environmental problems due to global warming is another requirement to accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources. Hydrogen gas is most important potential energy carrier due to some properties which are human and adverse environmental any lack of effect, without limit, to produce and transport, energy content is high, multi-functional, effective cost of the properties. In parallel with developing technology and science, quantity and yields of energy which is produce from hydrogen are increased when the energy expended to obtain hydrogen gradually decreased. In this study; a unit produces hydrogen by electrolysis, which has 20 m3/h capacity, was designed. First, the design parameters was determined. In the next step, an optimization method will be developed for detailed calculations. According to the data, unit will be designed in the real measure. Also, researches, which about the effects on parameters of the porous electrode material, were conducted.
