The Pic below shows a drawing I made that should be more or less self explanatory, but I will attempt to explain how it actually recirculates the electrolyte through the cell.
 How it works:
 the Hydroxy generator is connected between the 2 longer hoses the upper hose is the gas out of the cell, the lower hose is the electrolyte IN into the cell.
as gas is generated in the cell it escapes in bubbles that flow up and out of the hose into the recirculation tank ( the cooling fins are optional but should add allot of cooling capacity)
you'll notice that from the cells Output to the connection on the recirculation tank it is a gradual up hill slope... not down hill this is so the gas will flow out carrying the electrolyte with it into the tank/container. as this happens( gas escaping up the upper hose taking with it a bubble of water)
it creates a suction on the lower hose and sucks in water from the recirculating tank to the bottom of the cell.... so as bubbles of gas escape from the cell it  causes a Pump effect and actually pumps water through the cell automatically...
 this method is also called the "Flooded cell" method and goes a long way to cooling a dry cell type Hydroxy generator.
 the recirculating tank then acts as a short bubbler and the gas escapes out the top of the container to enter the bubbler on the left sense the shortness of the bubbler portion of the Recirculation tank is so short I recommend a bubbler being used in addition to the recirculation tank.
...
hope that helps
