When the water supply chamber pressure is the same, the water permeation rate of the steam supply membrane subjected to the autoclave treatment is about three times higher than the water permeation rate of the water vapor supply membrane not subjected to the autoclave treatment. Also, the electrolysis current value and the water consumption amount are calculated according to Faraday's law,
Due to the proportional relationship (Fig. 3), the electrolysis current density when using the autoclaved membrane is set to be about 3 times higher than the electrolysis current density when using the non-autoclaved membrane. be able to. By setting the electrolysis current density three times higher, the amount of oxygen and hydrogen generated also triples, and when obtaining the same oxygen and hydrogen as in the conventional method, the area of the solid polymer electrolyte can be reduced to about 1/3, It can be made compact.
