#147 - Hydrogen - Nova Model 380 for Generator Monitoring

Many large power generators use hydrogen gas as a coolant. Hydrogen has low density and very good thermal conductivity. It can carry away the heat produced in a generator and therefore allow the generator to operate at a higher power output.

The Nova Model 380 is an excellent choice for monitoring the hydrogen atmosphere in a generator. It offers the following analysis ranges: 

• Range 1: 0-100% Hydrogen in Air
• Range 2: 0-100% Hydrogen in CO2
• Range 3: 0-100% Air in CO2

The ranges mentioned above are designed to allow monitoring of the purge procedure that is implemented during a generator shutdown. However, not all purge procedures are exactly the same for each generator. We have been asked recently by some power companies to consider offering some additional capabilities to the Nova Model 380.

Would these features be of interest to you?

- We can produce a variation of Model 380 that allows it to be used on generators that are purged with Nitrogen (N2) instead of CO2.

- We can also produce a Model 380 that is set up for Argon (Ar) instead of CO2.

- We can also add dew point analysis and hydrogen pressure indication to Model 380.

If any of these options are of interest to you, contact us here about these options.
