The YMHN-50 can generate a hydrogen-nitrogen gas blend (below,"hydrogen trace gas") from just an injection of purified water,and is also capable of generating hydrogen trace gas easily and economically.
*Trace gas: Very small quantities of a gas that,in product airtightness investigations and testing,is mainly used to detect leakages in test subjects.
Summary
Generates hydrogen from purified water and extracts nitrogen from air,then blends them precisely to produce hydrogen trace gas.
Highly reliable safety system emits no flammable hydrogen gas.
Under Japanese law,no legal applications need to be submitted for installation and the system can be installed smoothly into a production line.
