Hydrogen Generators


Specialty Gases and Equipment

(514) 956-7503

Description
Matheson's high purity Hydrogen Generators produce hydrogen through the electrolysis of water. Electrolysis occurs in an electrolytic cell assembly, which contains a solid polymer electrolyte. The hydrogen produced is passed through a filter, a drying tube, and a desiccant for moisture removal. Deionized, distilled water is the only liquid that must be added to the generator; no free acids or alkaline are required.
