The Nova 335 Portable Analyzer has been designed for the detection of hydrogen (H2) in a binary (two gas) mixture such as H2in N2. However, it can be used in some other applications with several background gases present. Consult Nova on these applications.
The thermal conductivity (T/C) cell provides a fast and accurate measurement of H2. It has an expected life of over 10 years unless contaminated.
In operation, a built in sample pump draws in the gas sample through the sample tube, filter and flow meter and then on to the T/C cell. The detected H2 is displayed on an LCD digital meter which has a switchable back light for use in dark areas.
A rechargeable 'gel cell' battery provides enough power for approximately 8 hours of continuous operation and the analyzer can be used while it is being recharged. A red LED tells when to recharge and a green LED verifies that it is receiving recharging power. The recharger is included.
