Abstract
The invention relates to an electrolysis arrangement for the production of hydrogen and oxygen by alkaline electrolysis. The electrolysis arrangement includes a system configuration which enables to balance the lye concentrations between the anode and cathode section of the arrangement depending on the current density of the direct current supplied to the electrolysis stack of the electrolysis medium. At high current densities, hydrogen to oxygen crossover and oxygen to hydrogen crossover is low, which allows full mixing of electrolysis media to balance the concentration between anolyte and catholyte. At low current densities, hydrogen to oxygen crossover and oxygen to hydrogen crossover is high. Therefore, the electrolysis arrangement is configured so that the mixing of the electrolysis media is decreased in case a current density of a direct current supplied to the electrolysis stack is decreased.
