The US government’s announcement to fund development of alternative fuels to reduce dependency on foreign oil has resulted in a flurry of activity in the area of hydrogen. As an environmentally friendly element, hydrogen shows great potential to be the next fuel of the future. The generation and storage of hydrogen, however, poses new challenges in the types of pressure sensors that can be used safely and accurately in these new applications.
Hydrogen salvage and distribution systems are currently in development to handle this fuel efficiently. Dependent upon size, these tanks can experience pressures ranging from 1,000 to 12,500 psi. To maintain critical levels of pressure and safety, pressure sensors are employed for continuous monitoring. The pressure sensors are installed directly on the outlet valve, close to the tank.
Products & Services
Industrial gas generation equipment is used to generate or dissociate gases for industrial processes.
Rechargeable batteries or secondary batteries contain active materials that can be regenerated by charging. When the energy produced by rechargeable batteries drops below optimum efficiency, secondary batteries may be recharged in a couple of ways, depending upon their construction.
pH electrodes and oxygen reduction potential (ORP) electrodes measure the voltage across a circuit formed by the measuring metal half-cell and the reference half-cell.
pH and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) instruments measure or monitor pH (relative concentration of hydrogen ions [H+] in a solution) as well as ORP.
Oxy-fuel cutting machines use fuel gases and oxygen to cut metals by generating a high temperature (980-degree C) cutting torch. This process is known as oxyacetylene cutting.
