Abstract

In this study, the parameters of hydrogen and oxygen gas production used electrolysis method were determined and the automatic control of these parameters was performed. For this purpose, the different types of solutions and physical gravities which yield the most efficient product output under certain conditions were investigated. Electrolyte quantity/volume, solution concentration, solution temperature, the current and the applied voltage were determined as the control parameters. The mixture of water which is rich in hydrogen ions and sulphuric acid which increases H+ ions of solution was determined as the most suitable electrolyte. Today, since the most widely used type of energy is electrical energy, electrolysis method was preferred for the production of hydrogen. The determined parameters were controlled by the performed microcontroller-based control system.
