Generating Hydrogen for Leak Test Tracer Gas


Hydrogen Tracer Gas for Leak Test Applications- Helium Gas Replacement

Generating Hydrogen Tracer Gas at a Fraction the Cost of Helium
  • Hydrogen is mixed with 95% Nitrogen to produce a completely safe green label 5/95 Tracer Gas for sniffer leak detection.
     
  • Cost of Helium Ranges from $0.25 to $0.30/scf, doubling in the last two years
     
  • Using the Proton Hydrogen Generator System, variable cost to produce hydrogen tracer gas(95% nitrogen/5% hydrogen) is less than a penny( $0.007 per scf)
     
  • UL, ATEX and CE Marked, no hydrogen is stored on-board
     
  • Used in Conjunction with Sensistor Hydrogen Leak Detector
     
  • Utilities Consist of Water and Electricity to Produce Hydrogen
Helium leak testing using the inside/out method of leak testing has been the standard in HVAC, refrigeration and automotive leak testing of parts such as coils, valves and automotive components. Sniffing leak detection is where the part is pressurized to a pressure near the operating pressure of the part, filled with a tracer gas such as helium then leak checked with a helium mass spectrometer leak detector for helium leaking out of the part.

The Sensistor Hydrogen Leak Detector  with its solid-state low maintenance design was developed as an alternative to helium leak detectors. The Sensistor uses 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen(5/95) as a low cost tracer gas. Cost of 5/95 is much less expensive than helium and completely non-combustible.

Many facilities have gas tube trailers or banks of cylinders that have to be transported to the facility. The Proton Hydrogen Generator along with a hydrogen gas mixer can be safely located inside the facility. When the hydrogen from the Proton is mixed with 95% nitrogen, the output tracer gas is the non-flammable, non-combustible 5/95. The Sensistor detecting the 5/95 tracer gas is designed to provide the same sensitivity as helium leak detector sniffers.

Return on Investment for replacing helium is a very short period for large users, many times less than one year.

Tracer gas costs long-term can produce dramatic savings to less than a penny per cu. ft for gas mixed on-site (compared to a quarter per cu.ft for helium). One safety benefit of the Proton Hydrogen Gas Generator is that no storage of hydrogen is present on-site. Hydrogen is generated then immediately mixed with nitrogen to produce a non-combustible tracer gas mixture.
