Abstract

The present paper explores the factors influencing the efficiency of an HHO-gas-electrolyzer. The experiments were held in the respective laboratory at the Technical University of Varna with a principal focus on two of these factors –i.e., distance between the plates and the number of plates in a wet electrolyzer. The scientific tests were performed with all the remaining conditions being held constant and the appropriate results were obtained and visualized to disclose the most efficient electrolyzer setups.
