Do not use a hydrogen gas storage vessel in conjunction with the hydrogen generator.
Stored quantities of hydrogen pose an explosion hazard.
Normal precautions for any hydrogen supply should be taken when using the hydrogen
generator. DO NOT USE IN A SEALED OR UNVENTED ROOM.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCE WITHIN
10 INCHES (25cm) OF THE OXYGEN VENT!
The Hydrogen Generator Model A915000JA-L1555 (see Figure 1), is a completely engineered
system designed to produce ultra-pure, dry hydrogen gas from deionized water using a Pro-
ton Exchange Membrane Cell. The hydrogen generator utilizes the principle of electrolytic
dissociation of water and hydrogen proton conduction through the membrane. The hydrogen
stream is dried using a coalescing filter, a drying tube, and desiccant. The outlet pressure of
the unit is 90 psig (6.2 barg) with a maximum hydrogen delivery flow rate of 160 cc/min for
Model 9150.
The hydrogen generators are ideal for use as fuel gas in Flame Ionization Detectors (FIDs),
Trace Hydrocarbon Analyzers, and other general laboratory equipment requiring a source of
pure hydrogen.
The 9150 Hydrogen Generator is certified to the electrical safety requirements as specified
by the IEC, CSA, and UL standards. These units bear both the CSA and UL markings on the
product label. Product supplied to Europe carries the CE mark (230 VAC units only). The
