Bubbling occurs when the membrane is installed in reverse; pressure fluctuations cause these bubbles to burst, resulting in holes
Putting the ion membrane in the wrong orientation is a very dangerous practice. When this happens, the carboxylate side and the sulfonate side are placed in the wrong order, which leads to an increase in the voltage of the electrolyzer and a decrease in its efficiency. In severe cases, it can cause serious bubble formation, and even result in excessive levels of hydrogen chloride, rendering the electrolyzer unusable. If this is detected, operations must be stopped immediately and the membrane replaced.
This is what I’ve found from various sources over the past few days; please let me know if there are any inaccuracies
