Abstract

The present invention relates to for an improved apparatus that facilitates the controlling of the cell pressure balance, and separator liquid level as well as provides for a method for circulation of electrolyte through the individual cells by passive means,, thereby reducing the need for manually monitoring the cell pressure balance and the electrolyte level in an electrolyzer for producing high pressure hydrogen at pressures up to 10,000 psig or higher.
