Abstract

An electrochemistry device, in particular an electrolysis device, in particular a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis device, has at least one cell unit, which includes at least one first electrochemical cell and at least one second electrochemical cell, and has at least one fluid supply unit for supplying the cell unit with at least one fluid, in particular with water, which at least one fluid supply unit includes at least one first fluid supply path extending at least section-wise through the first electrochemical cell, and at least one second fluid supply path extending at least section-wise through the second electrochemical cell, the fluid supply unit is designed in such a way that, in at least one normal operating state, a volume flow of the fluid through the first electrochemical cell and through the second electrochemical cell is at least substantially identical.
