Laboratory Hydrogen Generator Offers Expanded Capabilities

The F-DBS H2 generator saves space and eliminates the risks associated with storing high pressure cylinders. ‘Hidden’ costs associated with piping connections, manometers, ordering, renting, delivering, servicing and maintaining cylinders, are reduced.

The F-DBS H2 generator produces ultra high purity gas (up to 99.99999%), unlike other cylinder gases which can vary in purity level; there is no guarantee that dirty or rusted cylinders will not contaminate the gas source.

The F-DBS Hydrogen generators use the latest polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) technology to produce high purity hydrogen. The exclusive "No Maintenance" gas column dryer regeneration system eliminates all down time for maintenance that is typical of other systems on the market, guaranteeing the best hydrogen purity at all times.

The exclusive cascading option allows up to 10 units to be connected in series, producing flowrates up to 10 litres! This feature gives the capacity to supply H2 simultaneously to multiple GC and GCMS units.

The system’s internal self-diagnostic features, high visibility display, internal/external leak detection, and remote control and alarm capabilities, increase lab safety and productivity.

There is no reason to fear using H2 gas as carrier gas as F-DBS’ H2 sensor controlled by their H2 generator will stop production of H2 in case of any leak inside the oven of the GC unit.

The modular generator design allows the unit to be used individually or coupled to any one of the Zero air generators to form an all-in-one FID Gas Station solution for GC combustion detector applications. The H2 generator is also available in the 19 inch rack version.

The Hydrogen generator is able to give an optional outlet pressure up to 16 bar. This unique feature opens a wide range of new applications such as the operation of fuel cells and the filling of low pressure metal hydride canisters for operating portable GC or mobile systems.

The low pressure metal hydride canisters achieve high volumetric energy density with low canister pressure. This enables intermediate storage of larger quantities of hydrogen in a very compact form and easy handling to enable efficient GC analysis.
