The Nova 335 Portable Analyzer has been designed for the detection of hydrogen (H2) in a binary (two gas) mixture such as H2 in N2. However, it can be used in some other applications with several background gases present. Consult Nova on these applications.

The thermal conductivity (T/C) cell provides a fast and accurate measurement of H2. It has an expected life of over 10 years unless contaminated.

In operation, a built in sample pump draws in the gas sample through the sample tube, filter and flow meter and then on to the T/C cell. The detected H2 is displayed on a digital display.

A rechargeable battery provides enough power for approximately 8 hours of operation and the analyzer can be used while it is being recharged. The recharger is included.

Unique Applications

N/A

        The Nova T/C cell will respond in the presence of many gases and may need to be compensated either directly in the analyzer or in the calibration gas. Consult Nova on these types of applications.
