Abstract:
     An electrochemical apparatus is provided. The electrochemical apparatus includes a hydrogen manufacturing and preserving device capable of manufacturing hydrogen and compressing and charging the so manufactured hydrogen. The apparatus includes an electrolytic unit for generating a hydrogen gas on electrolysis, a pressurizing unit for compressing the hydrogen gas generated by the electrolytic unit and a charging unit for charging the compressed hydrogen gas to the hydrogen gas tanks. The pressurizing unit operates as a fuel cell unit run reversible on being supplied with the hydrogen gas from the charging unit and with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas.
