EN 17413 Analytical Testing of Fuel Cell Hydrogen Purity
The European Standard EN 17413 establishes a comprehensive framework for the analytical testing of hydrogen purity in fuel cells. This standard is essential for ensuring that hydrogen used in fuel cell applications meets stringent quality requirements, which are critical for operational efficiency and safety. The standard covers various aspects, including sample preparation, instrumental analysis methods, and acceptance criteria.
The primary purpose of this service is to provide accurate and reliable testing of hydrogen purity levels as per EN 17413. Our laboratory adheres strictly to the requirements outlined in this standard, ensuring that every test result reflects the actual state of the hydrogen sample. This level of precision is crucial for fuel cell manufacturers, operators, and quality assurance professionals who need to ensure their products comply with international standards.
The testing process begins with careful sample preparation, which involves purging the sample to remove contaminants and ensuring a representative sample is taken. Once prepared, the sample undergoes instrumental analysis using advanced gas chromatography techniques. These methods are capable of detecting even trace amounts of impurities that could compromise fuel cell performance or safety.
The acceptance criteria defined in EN 17413 specify permissible limits for various contaminants such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor. Compliance with these standards ensures that the hydrogen is suitable for use in fuel cells, reducing the risk of degradation and improving overall system efficiency.
Our laboratory's expertise in this area allows us to offer a range of additional services beyond mere compliance testing. We can provide detailed reports on impurity levels, assist with troubleshooting issues related to purity, and even conduct research to enhance hydrogen purification processes. This holistic approach ensures that our clients receive the most comprehensive support possible.
