Among the buzz about the alternative fuel capabilities of hydrogen, the U.S. and E.U. have invested billions in order to accelerate the development of this future hydrogen economy. Because hydrogen must be kept to concentration levels of less than four percent in ambient air, we’ve launched two new products, the HLS-440P and HPS-100 hydrogen sensor modules, which we’ll exhibit along with the Indoor Air Monitor and iAQ-2000 at Sensor + Test 2010. The launch of these hydrogen sensors allows for further developments in fuel cell systems by providing product designers and users with a highly sensitive module for detecting hydrogen gas leaks.

The use of Field Effect (FE) Technology ensures that the modules are fast responding and highly sensitive to the presence of hydrogen gas leaks, with no cross detection towards HC, H₂S, H₂, CO, CO₂ or NO_x. With an IP6K9 rating and designed towards Atex Zone 2, both the HLS-440P and HPS-100 can be installed virtually anywhere. The selective FE Technology process of the hydrogen sensors is based on the work-function change of the gate layer shown by Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor FE transistor (MOSFET) devices when exposed to a test gas.
