Proton Hydrogen Generator- Hydrogen Leak Test Applications
Hydrogen Generator
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.
