Consistent monitoring of hydrogen is also crucial for the efficiency and safety of fuel cells. Archigas’ advanced sensor technology enables particularly accurate and fast measurements that meet the specific needs of users. It can be used to optimise the performance of fuel cells and meet the highest safety standards.
Specific advantages
- High precision and speed: with a wide measuring range from a few ppm up to 100 vol.% and response times down to <30 ms, optimally designed for fuel cells
- Particularly robust: resistant to condensate and water and suitable for pressures up to 200 bar
- Maximum safety: reliable monitoring of explosion limits to increase occupational safety
- Adaptability and cost-effectiveness: versatile measurement solutions without additional sample preparation, cost-efficient and space-saving
Challenges in H2 measurement in fuel cells
- Moisture in the process gas destroys devices and falsifies measurements
- Cross-sensitivity compensation or dehumidification of the gas required
- Reaction times (t90) should be short and require complex sample preparation
- High operating pressures and process temperatures require additional sample preparation
