TCD3000 SiA — H2 gas analyser
The compact and robust TCD3000 SiA for hydrogen detection is ideal for the precise, fast and sensitive measurement of quasi-binary gas mixtures. The measurement is based on the principle of thermal conductivity (TCD = Thermal Conductivity Detector). This technology is predestined for the measurement of gases with very different thermal conductivities, such as H2 and O2.
Advantages of the TCD3000 SiA
- Outstanding precision and speed in hydrogen concentration measurement: The TCD3000 SiA gas analyser features an industry-leading response time of < 30 ms and a measurement range from a few ppm to 100 vol.%, specially developed for the new requirements of hydrogen infrastructure in the energy and process industries.
- Unrivalled robustness for demanding environments: Optimised for use in humid environments, the device withstands condensate and water without damage and provides precise measurements up to a pressure of 200 bar – ideal for electrolysers, fuel cells and other hydrogen applications.
- Maximum safety, minimum maintenance: With fast and reliable explosion level monitoring, the TCD3000 SiA significantly increases occupational safety. The device is a long-term investment with an expected service life of up to 10 years.
- Adaptability meets economy: The extremely compact TCD3000 SiA saves space and costs. Thanks to it, a wide variety of gas mixtures can be measured without additional sample preparation – a highly efficient solution that outperforms the competition in terms of performance and price.

|
Multiple calibrations possible for one sensor |
Several linearisation curves, different measuring ranges and other gas pairs can be stored on one device (manual switching) |
|
Pressure compensation |
Thermal conductivity is pressure-dependent, therefore a constant pressure must be present during the measurement. If the pressure is not constant, the error can be eliminated by an additional pressure measurement. We can provide a compensation curve on request |
|
Customised settings possible that go beyond the technical specifications |
Customised adjustment for e.g. higher gas temperatures, radioactive environments, particularly low flow rates |
|
Higher pressure ranges |
Settings for high pressure ranges >200 bar also available on request |
|
Express delivery possible |
Depending on capacity and agreement, short-term delivery also possible
|
|
Other connections e.g. NPT ½“ |
Standard G 1/2‘ – other connections such as NPT 1/2’ on request |

TCD3000 transmitter
The more cost-effective and ATEX-free TCD3000 transmitter is particularly suitable for bypass measurements, when detection in the process is not possible or desired, and for lower flow rates. This particularly compact and robust option for hydrogen detection is also ideal for the precise, fast and sensitive measurement of quasi-binary gas mixtures. It is also based on the principle of thermal conductivity (TCD – Thermal Conductivity Detector), i.e. the technology that is predestined for measuring gases with very different thermal conductivities such as H2 and O2.
