FAQ on the Hovogen Scientific Hydrogen Generator
How Does a Laboratory Hydrogen Generator Work? Laboratory hydrogen generators operate on the principle of electrolysis, splitting water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) using an electric current. This process ensures a continuous supply of high-purity hydrogen without the need for compressed gas cylinders.
How much hydrogen flow rate do I need? Flow rate requirements depend on your GC setup: - Single GC-FID: 100-200 cc/min - Multiple GC systems: 200-500 cc/min - GC-MS applications: 300-1000 cc/min - Carrier gas + fuel gas: Up to 4000 cc/min Our LH/LX Series offers flow rates from 200ml/min to 4000 ml/min to meet various requirements.
Are hydrogen generators safe for laboratory use? Yes, modern hydrogen generators are significantly safer than cylinder hydrogen. They produce hydrogen on-demand at low pressures with multiple built-in safety features including automatic shut-off, leak detection, and minimal gas storage.
How often does a hydrogen generator require maintenance? HOVOGEN generators feature a no-maintenance design, significantly reducing operational costs. Routine maintenance is minimal - primarily periodic water refills and occasional filter changes.
Can hydrogen generators integrate with existing GC systems? Yes, HOVOGEN generators are designed for seamless integration with all major GC brands including Agilent, Thermo Fisher, Shimadzu, PerkinElmer, and Bruker. They can be installed on benchtop, floor, or rack-mounted configurations.
What is the difference between PEM and alkaline hydrogen generators? PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) generators offer: - Higher purity (up to 99.9999%) - Lower operating temperatures - Faster response time - No corrosive electrolyte Alkaline generators use KOH electrolyte and are typically less expensive but offer lower purity levels.
How long do hydrogen generators last? With proper maintenance, laboratory hydrogen generators typically last 20000-30000 Hours. HOVOGEN generators are designed for long-term reliability with quality components and robust construction.
