and that it always runs declining. As water is condensing inside the vent lines, there must not be any
horizontal or sagging sections. The condensing water would block the pipe.
At the lowest point of the vent line, a drain trap or similar device must be installed to separate the
condensed water from the oxygen (see picture).
The oxygen vent outlet must lead to a safe area. The water from the water trap must be drained
according to all relevant local safety guidelines, rules, directives and regulations as it may contain traces
of KOH.
Warning!
The gaseous outputs from the oxygen vent and the hydrogen vent must be kept
separated. Mixing of these outputs results in an explosive atmosphere.
