PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas generation apparatus capable of stably electrolyzing while suppressing the consumption of an inert gas. SOLUTION: In a stop mode, control valves V1-V8 are closed and a voltage applying device 51, a vacuum generator 31 and a pump P1 are stopped, thereby an electrolysis in an electrolytic cell 10 is completely shut-down. In a stand-by mode, the control valves V1-V3, V8 are opened and the control valves V4-V6 are closed, The pump 1 is also stopped and the vacuum generator 31 is driven and in such the state, a second voltage is applied between the anode 13 and the cathode 14 by means of the voltage apply device 51. Then, the small quantity of fluorine gas is generated in the anode chamber 10a and the small quantity of gaseous hydrogen is generated in the cathode chamber 10b. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
