As a special type of electrical equipment, alkaline electrolyzer has its own particularities. The characteristics and working constraints of alkaline electrolyzers can be summarized as follows:
1. Turn on features
When the electrolytic cell starts to start up, because the temperature of the electrolytic cell is not high and cannot reach the temperature conditions for producing hydrogen, the power consumed at this time is used to generate heat to increase the temperature of the electrolytic cell; when the power of the electrolytic cell continues to increase to the Hydrogen is produced, and the power at this time is the insulation power of the electrolyzer. Therefore, it takes a long time to start up the alkaline electrolyzer.
2. Overload characteristics
When the electrolytic cell is working, its power can exceed the rated power for a short time, reaching 110%~130% of the rated power. This feature can be used to reduce the configuration capacity of the electrolytic cell.
