Understand, Select, and Design Sensors for Hydrogen-Based Applications
The
use of hydrogen generated from renewable energy sources is expected to
become an essential component of a low-carbon, environmentally friendly
energy supply, spurring the worldwide development of hydrogen
technologies. Sensors for Safety and Process Control in Hydrogen Technologies provides
practical, expert-driven information on modern sensors for hydrogen and
other gases as well as physical parameters essential for safety and
process control in hydrogen technologies. It illustrates how sensing
technologies can ensure the safe and efficient implementation of the
emerging global hydrogen market.
The book explains the
various facets of sensor technologies, including practical aspects
relevant in hydrogen technologies. It presents a comprehensive and
up-to-date account of the theory (physical and chemical principles),
design, and implementations of sensors in hydrogen technologies. The
authors also offer guidance on the development of new sensors based on
the analysis of the capabilities and limitations of existing sensors
with respect to current performance requirements.
Suitable
for both technical and non-technical personnel, the book provides a
balance between detailed descriptions and simple explanations. It gives
invaluable insight into the role sensors play as key enabling devices
for both control and safety in established and emerging hydrogen
technologies.
