PEM electrolyzers

PEM water electrolysis equipment uses direct current to split pure water into hydrogen and oxygen. After separation and purification, high-purity hydrogen that meets customer needs is obtained. It consists of the power supply, control system, electrolyzer, separation and purification unit and auxiliary equipment. CRRC has delivered China's largest single-unit PEM electrolyzer (500 Nm³/h).
