* If autoignition occurs, it doesn't propagate to the gas pipe connected to the Electrolyzer, so the gas already removed is safe, provided it is insulated from further temperature increases. | * If autoignition occurs, it doesn't propagate to the gas pipe connected to the Electrolyzer, so the gas already removed is safe, provided it is insulated from further temperature increases. | ||
* The Electrolyzer's internal volume is generally separated from the pipe network, and it can release its content only if the machine is turned on. | * The Electrolyzer's internal volume is generally separated from the pipe network, and it can release its content only if the machine is turned on. | ||
