Use of Hydrogen Safety Sensors Under Anaerobic Conditions – Impact of Oxygen Content on Sensor Performance
In any application involving the production, storage or use of hydrogen, sensors are important devices
for alerting to the presence of leaked hydrogen. Hydrogen sensors should be accurate, sensitive, and
specific, as well as resistant to long term drift and varying environmental conditions. Furthermore, as
an integral element in a safety system, sensor performance should not be compromised by operational
parameters. For example, safety sensors may be required to operate at reduced oxygen levels relative
to air. In this work we evaluate and compare a number of sensor technologies in terms of their ability
to detect hydrogen under conditions of varying oxygen concentration.
