HYDRO50 LS2
LEMAN Instruments designed the HYDRO50LS2 product line of High-Flow, High-Purity Hydrogen Generators for FID and carrier gas for GC for research on fuel cells and to fit almost any type of application that needs high-flow H2 production on demand close to the consumer. The generators are in an elegant casing with a full-color display and touch screen.
Based on the field-proven Solid Polymer Electrolyte (PEM) cell technology, pure Hydrogen is produced at low pressure from electricity and high-quality distilled water. This process can be started on demand without a caustic solution.
The device is composed of several independent modules (approx. 3 L/min by module) connected in parallel and controlled by an RS485 internal bus (cogeneration). In case of failure, each module can be switched off and removed from the device without interrupting the production of other modules.
The instrument could be alimented directly from a bi-distilled water distribution network (option).
The produced Hydrogen is available 24/7 on demand with a constant purity of 99.9995% at output flows of 5, 10 & 15 NL/min. The H2 output pressure is regulated electronically and can be set from 0.5 to 10 bar.
Each instrument is equipped with high-performance communication interfaces, such as USB and RS485 (Ethernet and WLAN as options), to create a very flexible gas network with local or central control.
Due to the software being focused on safety, automatic regulation, and intuitive and reliable communications, the HYDRO50LS2 High Flow High Purity Hydrogen Generators are easy to install, reliable, safe, and pleasant to operate.
Features
