Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to an electrolyzer comprising at least two electrolysis cells which are connected in series and which are connected together via supply and discharge systems. Each electrolysis cell has at least one discharge line for electrolyte, and each electrolysis cell has at least one supply line which leads into the electrolysis cells for electrolyte. According to the invention, at least one discharge line (12) or at least one supply line is provided with at least one opening via which electrolyte flows out at an at least temporally discontinuous volumetric flow rate (13), thereby forming drops. Because drops are formed, the electrolyte solution flowing out is no longer in electrically conductive contact with the liquid (15) in the liquid collector (20). By virtue of this effect of a temporal interruption of the flow line, the electric resistance is significantly increased and stray flows between the discharge system and the individual electrolysis cells are prevented.
