•  Do not operate the system dry. Always 

ensure that it contains sufficient amount 

of liquid de-ionized water or liquid 

distilled water at the anode side of the 

electrolyzer cell.

•  Remove anything in the vicinity 

of the electrolyzer cell that may 

ignite the generated hydrogen 

gas (naked flame, materials 

that can become charged with static 

electricity, substances with catalytic 

properties such as platinum powder, 

etc.).

•  Remove all the substances from 

the vicinity of the system that could 

spontaneously ignite with increased 

oxygen concentration.

•  Tell the students about any potential 

dangers and carefully supervise 

experimentation.

General Safety Precautions

•  Hoses, plugs, and tanks, etc. are used for 

pressure compensation. They must not 

be fixed or secured or obstructed with 

clamps, adhesive, stoppers, etc.

•  The power source of this electrolyzer 

can be based on solar sources too.  Do 

not position any solar modules and 

lights in use closer than the minimum 

permitted distance (50  cm between 

H-TEC Education solar modules and the 

H-TEC Education Spotlight, or see other 

manufacturers’ stipulations).

•  The surface of solar modules can get 

very hot during extended operation.
