Abstract:
1. A gas generator for electrolyzing an electrolyte in an electrolytic cell to generate a gas or gases, which comprises: an electrolytic cell; at least one absorber communicating with the electrolytic cell and packed with pellets of an agent capable of eliminating at least one unnecessary by-product generated by the electrolytic cell while allowing a gas generated by the electrolytic cell to pass between the pellets, whereby the at least one unnecessary by-product generated by the electrolytic cell may be absorbed by the least one absorber, a filter disposed downstream from said at least one absorber and capable of removing a mist discharged from the absorber; at least one pressure regulating valve disposed downstream from said filter for adjusting the pressure in the electrolytic cell; a liquid level sensor for sensing the liquid level in the electrolyte; and a pipe which communicates the electrolytic bath with the pressure regulating valve, wherein the pipe forms a closed space without branching, wherein the pressure drop in the at least one absorber is equal to or less than 0.05 MPa.
