Abstract

See full text

An electrolyzer stores of electrolytic cells, in which a pressing force applied to the stack is maintained by automatically adjusting the position of a locking mechanism of a safety device. The electrolyzer includes a stack obtained by stacking a plurality of electrolytic cells with membranes interposed therebetween, a pressing plate arranged on one end side in a stacking direction of the stack, an actuator which generates a pressing force along the stacking direction by moving the pressing plate, a safety device which is configured to maintain the pressing force by allowing the locking mechanism to come into contact with the contact plate to prevent the retraction of the pressing plate, when the actuator is not operated, and a control device which adjusts a distance between the locking mechanism and the contact plate within a specific range so as to maintain the pressing force which acts on the stack.
