#2 - NOVA in the ThomasNet News: Hydrogen Purity

Analytical Company Re-Launches Hydrogen Purity Analyzers for Power Industry

NOVA Analytical Systems Inc.

Press Release Date: September 28, 2010

Nova Analytical Inc., a 30 year veteran in gas analysis, has updated its image and product line. As a part of this re-branding initiative, Nova is recommitting its extensive experience to the area of hydrogen gas analysis especially as applied to the power generation industry. The Nova Models 380 & 436 Series Hydrogen Analyzers have been designed and updated with this objective in mind.

These analyzers perform three functions applicable to power generators and synchronous converters that use hydrogen gas for cooling:

Range 1: 0-100% Hydrogen in Air - for hydrogen purity in power generators to ensure safety and reduce windage loss.

Range 2: 0-100% Hydrogen in CO2 - for monitoring hydrogen purge procedure during generator shutdowns.

Range 3: 0-100% Air in CO2 - for monitoring breathable atmosphere inside generator during shutdown work.

All ranges and gases are efficiently detected on a single temperature-compensated thermal conductivity cell in the analyzer. A front panel switch selects the desired range.

In operation, a built-in sample pump draws the sample gas through the incoming line to a series of valves, filters and meters. The sample is then pushed into the thermal conductivity detector for gas analysis. The results are displayed on an easy-to-see digital readout.

The portable Model 380 is powered by a rechargeable ‘gel cell’ battery. The complete instrument including battery is solidly packaged into an updated choice of rugged dust-tight and water resistant cases.

The continuous Model 436 is permanently-mounted and is available in explosion-proof cabinets.

Contact Nova Analytical Systems Inc. for more information on this and other gas analysis equipment.

#1 - Intro to Nova blog

We are Nova Analytical Systems Inc.

We make gas analyzers as shown in the picture above.

By ‘gas’, we mean atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, and others.

Lots of industries are concerned about gas measurement. Gas analysis can tell them about the efficiency, safety, purity, environmental impact, etc. of their activities.

For example:

• Emissions monitoring from combustion processes involves measuring gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and others. 
• Alternate energy industries such as landfill-to-energy projects, biogas projects, and syngas projects are often interested in methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen and others. 
• Heat treat shops bake steel parts in large furnaces containing specific gas atmospheres. Gas analyzers help maintain optimum furnace atmospheres. 
• Manufacturing processes may require a blanket of a certain blend of gases to be present during a process. Gas analyzers ensure the stability of these gas blends. 
• Engine emissions and flue gas data is of environmental interest, but it is also useful in measuring performance and determining if the engine or boiler is properly tuned. 
• Personnel safety is obviously very important. Breathable air that is free of poisonous gases and with sufficient oxygen is necessary for human life. 

Nova can help with all of these applications.

We make equipment in all kinds of combinations and configurations including - portable gas analyzer, continuous gas analyzer, gas monitor, flue gas analyzer, emissions analyzer, landfill gas analyzer, oxygen analyzer, methane analyzer, carbon dioxide analyzer, carbon monoxide analyzer, hydrogen analyzer, biogas analyzer, syngas analyzer, heat treat gas analyzer, ambient air monitor, H2 purity analyzer.
