For the measurement of hydrogen concentration in gases,
the high thermal conductivity of hydrogen can be used. Hydrogen conducts heat much
better than air (factor 7), nitrogen and most other gases. Only Helium has also a
similar high heat conductivity (6 times higher than air).
In the measuring cell a metallic wire is heated by electric current.
The surrounding gas cools the wire and after short time a temperature equilibrium is reached.
The temperature of the metallic wire determines its resistivity, which is measured by a wheatstone measurement bridge.

For the evaluation of the test signal and the recalculation to a display, showing hydrogen concentration,
you can use a Stange controller, maybe your temperature controller which is installed
already on your furnace or any other suitable display device.
This sensor is appropriate especially for usage in
nitriding furnaces.

Everywhere, where combustible gases are used, it is important to check the production area.
Especially in the ambience of
vertical furnaces,
horizontal furnaces,
conveyer furnaces or
industrial furnaces, which are used for
hydrogen anneal it can happen that in case of a failure,
that critical gas concentration is reached in the ambiance. With the ambient air gas sensor such events can be
supervised and monitored effectively.
This sensor works with a catalytic bead in the measurement cell. The heated pellistor causes catalytic oxidation
of available flammable gases by air on its surface. In the same manner as within the heat conductivity sensor the
resistivity of the heating wire is measured by a wheatstone measurement bridge. However in this case, not the
cooling of the wire is determined but the heating of the wire, cause by the chemical reaction of the hydrogen or
inflammable gas with air at the surface of the pellistor.
The ambient air sensor reacts to
The sensor is calibrated on 60% of the lower explosion limit of hydrogen. This corresponds to a concentration of 2,5% hydrogen in air. This gas concentration is still harmless, but an indication for threatening danger. Hydrogen is always taken as reference gas, thus safe alarm limits are ensured also for other gases. Up to three sensors are attached to one base station. In the event of failure, a potential-free contact is closed. This signal can be further processed in the controller of the furnace.
