2 9 M a r 1 0 Section Introduction Congratulations! You have purchased the most reliable device of its kind in the industry, the Power+Energy (P+E) hydrogen purifier. This manual will guide you through proper installation, operating, and maintenance procedures.
Ultra pure hydrogen outlet pressure > 0 PSIG Minimum hydrogen feed gas purity ~99.95% Ultra pure hydrogen output gas purity 99.9999999% at UPH flow > 4 SLPM Hydrogen bleed outlet flow rate Typically 400 cc per minute at 150 PSIG inlet POWER+ENERGY...
300 PSIG of He in Feed line. Mechanical Dimensions in inches L x W x H 10” x 10” x 8” Weight: 15 lb Clearance Area Minimum distance to sides and back panel: 3.0 cm from sides and from fan on back panel POWER+ENERGY...
Open light ‘ON’ indicates the hydrogen feed valve is open and the unit will provide ultra pure hydrogen on demand up to its maximum capacity. Open light ‘OFF’ indicates the hydrogen feed valve is closed and no ultra pure hydrogen is being produced. POWER+ENERGY...
Plugging the bleed Hydrogen Vent line will destroy the palladium cell and void the warranty. The internal Tubular Flow Restrictor automatically sets the bleed rate of flow at the Bleed Hydrogen Vent port. POWER+ENERGY...
Ultra Pure Hydrogen Outlet pressure. The feed pressure at the Nitrogen Feed Inlet port should always be greater than the Ultra Pure Hydrogen Outlet pressure. The nitrogen is used to purge the palladium membranes when the hydrogen feed valve switch is off. POWER+ENERGY...
Low Flow A reduction in the Ultra Pure Hydrogen Outlet port flow rate indicates that: The diffusion cell is contaminated The pressure of the feed hydrogen has dropped. The output pressure at the Ultra Pure Hydrogen Outlet port has increased. POWER+ENERGY...
Model 2100P Series Hydrogen Purifier Startup Procedures Before starting up the Power+Energy hydrogen purifier, be sure to read the "Cautions" and "Contaminants" section of Chapter 4 pages 7 & 8. Connect all gas lines at the back panel of the purifier as described in the Back panel gas connection section on page 8.
Flow Restrictor automatically sets the bleed rate of flow at the Bleed Hydrogen Vent port and limits the reverse pressure across the membrane. Nitrogen feed must be present to allow proper back diffusion of the cell and protect it from damage. POWER+ENERGY...
The fan blades and guard screen should be cleaned once a year with a brush and vacuum cleaner when the system is off. The fans may need to be cleaned more or less frequently, depending on the environment. POWER+ENERGY...
UPH output. Service There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. All service must be done at the factory or by authorized service representatives. POWER+ENERGY...
This manual cannot replace formal training in compressed gas equipment safety principles and, accordingly, is intended only as a reminder to adequately trained personnel that already understand applicable safety practices. WARNING! POWER+ENERGY...
• Ground all equipment and lines used with hydrogen. • Suitable equipment, such as flash arrestors in vent lines, is strongly recommended. • Label all hydrogen lines with appropriately color-coded labels (ANSI Code: Black lettering on yellow background) POWER+ENERGY...
