Abstract
In this study, the calculated quantity of hydrogen produced in a typical Polymer Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is presented. For the hydrogen flux calculation, solar irradiation data as measured by the “Siglo XXI” Solarimetric Station in Zacatecas,Mexico, was used. Solar data was obtained in the period from November 2007 to April 2008, when the mean irradiation measured was 6.6 kW-h m-2. In order to obtain the estimation of H2, a linear equation of the behavior pattern of a previously characterized Solar-Hydrogen (SH) system was used. The results indicate that the maximum hydrogen production would be obtained in April, with a value of 9 NL min-1 corresponding to a radiation intensity close to 900 W m-2, while a minimum obtained hydrogen value was calculated as 6 NL min-1 with respect to a radiation close to 600 W m-2 for November.
