HydraSafe - Cell Voltage Monitoring

SHORT DESCRIPTION

Cell voltage monitoring of electrolyzers provides operators with valuable insight into the efficiency, stability and safety of the hydrogen electrolysis process. It enables the detection of membrane degradation and defects, e.g. pinholes, cell leaks, insufficient electrolyte supply, loss of electrode coating and other events. As a result, the operator can adjust the process parameters or schedule maintenance work.
HydraSafe combines years of experience in electrolysis monitoring with the requirements of a rapidly scaling industry – it is modular, flexible, robust and designed for rapid installation.

Modular, scalable single cell voltage monitoring. Can be used for any electrolyser technology and any size.

  • Available with and without analysis software, can be integrated into the customer’s PLC
  • High sampling rate for maximum precision
  • Fast data transmission and data analysis
  • Powerful analysis software that makes it possible to detect all possible errors and degradations
  • Unrivaled speed, accuracy and stability
  • Robust system, designed for temperatures up to 100°C
  • Safe version with SIL2 rating, allowing integration of alarm settings, emergency shutdowns, etc.
  • Easy to implement redundancy (for measurement, transmission and evaluation)
  • High flexibility and easy integration, prepared for cooperation with multiple protocols and PLCs, e.g. ProfiNet, ProfiSafe, Modbus, OPC UA
  • HydraLink supports optical and CAT5e-based connections, up to 2 km distance
  • Speeds up work on site due to a lot of pre-assembly, pre-wiring, integration of fuses etc.
  • Easy handling of the cables
  • Simple configuration, no calibration required
  • Optional test module for verification and safety testing
  • Fast maintenance and repair

Often used together with:

  • HVT 400-DX: SIL2 Voltage monitoring up to 1500Vdc
  • HVT 300-DV: SIL2 Current monitoring between rectifier and electrolyzer
  • HVT 300-DP: SIL2 Balance and symmetry monitoring
