As the world accelerates its transition to sustainable energy, Hydrogen is becomes a key player in the clean energy transition. Hydrogen production technologies like electrolysis and advanced thermochemical processes are gaining prominence and safe and efficient storage of H2 is now common place. Whether stored in compressed gas cylinders, large tanks, or being transported, accurate monitoring is crucial. In these cases precise monitoring of pressure and temperature is not just a best practice; it’s a critical safety and efficiency imperative. The LEO Record for Hydrogen, with its specialised design, addresses these demanding requirements and is an ideal tool for these demanding applications.
Hydrogen Storage:
Compressed hydrogen gas storage is a common method, particularly for smaller-scale applications and transportation. These storage systems are ideal for the LEO-Record-H2 and typically operate at ambient temperatures.
- Pressure Monitoring Imperative:
- Maintaining accurate pressure readings is essential for leak detection, inventory management, and preventing overpressure situations.
- Precise monitoring ensures the integrity of the storage system and minimises safety risks.
- LEO Record Application:
- The LEO-Record-H2 digital manometer is ideally suited for ambient temperature Hydrogen storage monitoring.
- Its high accuracy and stability provide reliable pressure readings, crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of storage facilities.
- The data logging function becomes very useful for leak detection, as small changes can be recorded, and then analysed.
- Material Science Advantage:
- The LEO Record’s stainless steel components, featuring a higher Nickel content, significantly reduce the risk of Hydrogen embrittlement, ensuring long-term reliability.
- The Gold plated diaphragm minimises the migration of H2 across the diaphragm. This increases accuracy, the lifespan of the device, whilst minimising the risk of leaks
Intrinsically Safe (Ei) Version for Hazardous Areas:
- Safety in Hazardous Environments:
- Hydrogen storage facilities often fall within hazardous areas where the risk of explosion exists.
- The LEO-Record-Ei-H2 is available in an intrinsically safe (ATEX) version, designed to operate safely in these hazardous environments.
- This ensures reliable pressure monitoring without compromising safety.
- Compliance and Certification:
- The ATEX version complies with relevant safety standards and certifications, providing peace of mind for operators in hazardous locations.
Key Features of the Keller LEO Record for Hydrogen Storage:
- High accuracy and long-term stability.
- Integrated data logging for trend analysis and leak detection.
- Stainless steel construction with enhanced nickel content for hydrogen compatibility.
- Gold plated diaphragm to minimise H2 migration.
- ATEX intrinsically safe (LEO-Record-Ei-H2) version for hazardous areas.
- User-friendly interface and data transfer capabilities.
Conclusion:
Accurate and reliable pressure monitoring is vital for ensuring the safety and efficiency of ambient temperature Hydrogen storage and as Hydrogen production technologies advance, the need for precise and reliable monitoring solutions will increase. The LEO-Record-H2 digital manometer, with its specialised features and intrinsically safe option, provides a robust solution for these critical current and future applications.
