WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/056277

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The device for producing hydrogen pertaining to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with: a rectifier to which a first voltage is supplied from outside, the rectifier outputting a direct-current second voltage; an electrolytic bath to which the second voltage is supplied, the electrolytic bath electrolyzing an alkaline aqueous solution; a liquid electrolyte tank for retaining the alkaline aqueous solution; a pump for circulating the alkaline aqueous solution between the electrolytic bath and the liquid electrolyte tank; a pure water tank for retaining pure water; a pure water pipe for distributing the pure water from the pure water tank to the liquid electrolyte tank, the pure water pipe being connected between the pure water tank and the liquid electrolyte tank; an inert gas cylinder in which an inert gas is enclosed; and a first valve for closing when the first voltage is supplied and opening when the first voltage is no longer supplied, the first valve being connected between the inert gas cylinder and the pure water pipe. The inert gas is introduced into the pure water pipe by opening of the first valve.
