New Call-to-action

The Nova Model 436 Series Tri-gas analyzer is designed specifically for monitoring H2 purity in the H2 feed to a power generator and to monitor the purging procedure during shut down. The analyzer can measure the following gases by switch selection :
Range 1: 0-100.0% H2 in Air
Range 2 : 0-100.0% H2 in CO2
Range 3 : 0-100.0% Air in CO2
A 4-20 mA output is provided for the range of 85-100% H2 in air, along with two gas alarms and a sensor fail alarm.
