Greetings from Sensor + Test

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Hello from the Sensor + Test show in Germany!

APS_SensorTest_booth2

It’s been quite a whirlwind over these past two days, and we’ve engaged one busy booth. Not only have we had the chance to showcase our products, visitors have brought to light several new applications and potential product requests.

100 free samples of our Indoor Air Monitor were handed out, and it’s quickly becoming the coolest product at the show. Ok, so maybe that’s an exaggeration, but several people have commented on the monitor’s coolness. Not only is it ideally suited as an educational gift for HVAC companies, it’s also perfect for individual users within their own homes. Many visitors have also expressed a huge interest in Intelligent Air Quality (iAQ) products for demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) since the energy and cost saving potential is so apparent – not to mention the sheer functionality of iAQ. There is also a lot of buzz about standard H2 products like our HLS-440P and HPS-100 hydrogen sensor modules because of their critical role in fuel cell technology.

To all who attended, thank you for making us the leader in the gas sensor community.

What’s Our Role In The Future Hydrogen Economy?

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

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 NOx. 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.
