  • Patent number: 11788197
    Abstract: A hydrogen gas dissolution apparatus 1 to comprises a hydrogen extracting pipe 8 for extracting hydrogen gas from a cathode chamber 40b, a water supply pipe 3 for supplying water for electrolysis, an opening pipe 81 for opening the cathode chamber 40b, a hydrogen gas dissolution module 6 connected to the hydrogen extracting pipe 8, a first open/close valve 91 installed on the above-said water supply pipe 3, a second open/close valve 93 provided on the opening pipe 81, and a control means 10 for controlling the electrolysis tank 7, the first open/close valve 91, and the second open/close valve 93. The control means 10 causes the water to flow for the first and second open/close valves 91 and then start the electrolysis after closing the first open/close valve 91 and the second open/close valve 93.

  • Patent number: 11746028
    Abstract: A hydrogen gas dissolving apparatus 1 has a hydrogen supply unit 2 capable of supplying hydrogen gas, and a hydrogen gas dissolution module 6 for bringing the hydrogen gas supplied from the hydrogen supply unit 2 in contact with and dissolved in water. The hydrogen gas dissolution module 6 has a supply port 62 to which the hydrogen gas is supplied, a hydrogen chamber 63 communicating with the supply port 62 and filled with the hydrogen gas supplied from the supply port 62, and an exhaust port 64 communicating with the hydrogen chamber 63 and discharging the air in the hydrogen chamber 63. The exhaust port 64 is located in a lower part of the hydrogen chamber 63.

  • Publication number: 20220281761
    Abstract: An electrolytic unit includes at least a plurality of electrolytic cells for electrolyzing water. Each of the electrolytic cells includes a case for defining an electrolytic chamber therein and a diaphragm for dividing the electrolytic chamber into an anode chamber on an anode side and a cathode chamber on a cathode side. The plurality of the electrolytic cells forms a stack in which the electrolytic cells are stacked in a normal direction of the diaphragms with the orientations of the diaphragms aligned with each other.
