Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen measurement during electrolysis of water

Electrolysis is the process of splitting water into the elements oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen serves as an energy storage, e.g. for power-to-gas processes.
 

2H2O(1) 2H2(g) + O2(g)

 
One difficulty in hydrogen measurement is humidity, which influences the measurement result and can also damage the sensor.

The FTC300, optimized for this application, features an integrated humidity measurement to compensate for cross-sensitivity and built-in protection of the sensor against condensate and dust.

For the measurement of oxygen in hydrogen and hydrogen in oxygen, Messkonzept offers an electrolysis kit.

The electrolysis monitoring kit consists of two devices with the following gas analyzer configuration:

Device 1
Condition of the test sample 1 Hydrogen: 0-0,5 Vol%
Oxygen 99,5 – 99,99 Vol%
Humidity: Dewpoint: 25°C
Device 1: FTC300
Measuring Task: 0-5 Vol% H2 in O2
Needed extra options: Condensate and Dust Protection
Humidity Measurement
Cross-sensitivity compensation
Filling with glass beads
Device 2
Condition of the test sample 2 Hydrogen: 99,95-99,999 Vol%
Oxygen 0,001 – 0,1 Vol%
Humidity: Dewpoint: -40°C (Dry)
Device 2: FTC300
Measuring Task: 0-3 Vol% O2 in H2
Flow measurment
Needed extra options: Condensate and Dust Protection
Integrated Flow Meter
Filling with glass beads
