Gas Density Meter Applications: Faster Hydrogen Concentration Monitoring

Fast, Simple, and Low-Cost Hydrogen Measurement

General H2O electrolysis process
General H2O electrolysis process

 

Measuring hydrogen concentration in a typical H2O electrolysis process has the following challenges:

(1) Conventional thermal conductivity meters and alloy thin film meters; Slow response, tens of seconds to 60 seconds
(2) The anode side need to multiple pretreatments for water separation and dehumidification.

In H2O electrolysis plants that produce hydrogen, cross-leakage to the anode and cathode sides due to membrane degradation is an issue for safety management, and the inability to achieve a fast response in general hydrogen concentration measurement is a major issue for safety monitoring.

Since the gas components of the H2O electrolysis process are hydrogen and oxygen, it is possible to estimate the gas concentration by gas density. The applicability of gas density meters in hydrogen concentration measurement is introduced in this document.

Advantages of Using a Gas Density Meter for Hydrogen Measurement

Not only the analyzer's fast response but also pre-processing can be simplified, achieving overall fast response

  1. Simplified Plant Design
    simple pre-processing contributes to the simplification plant design
  2. Fast Response
    The gas density meter is faster than conventional ones

Principle

Two pairs of piezoelectric elements for drive and detection are attached on four points of a thin-wall cylindrical resonator. A platinum temperature sensor is mounted to the density sensor.

The sample gas from inlet passes over the outside of the thin-walled cylindrical resonator and is exhausted at the gas outlet.
