Application

To ensure hazard free operation of the environmental friendly fuel cell technology, it is necessary to monitor the ventilation of the installation spaces. This control prevents the emergence of potential hazardous atmospheres. The potential loading with hydrogen sets high demands for the sensors and restricts the function of some measuring principles. The Höntzsch vortex sensors are outstanding suitable for monitoring the forced ventilation and available with SIL2 certification.

 

Safe
The prescribed/desired gas exchange is ensured by means of the measurement

Relaible
With our sensors, you ensure the ventilation function permanently

ATEX-certified
Sensors to monitor aeration/ventilation are also available for ATEX zones up to 0/1
