VIASPACE Energy Delivers Humidity Sensor to Fuel Cell Test Station Manufacturer Scribner Associates
VIASPACE, a company that transforms space and defence technologies from NASA and the Department of Defence into hardware and software solutions, announced today that its VIASPACE Energy division has begun shipments of its HS-1000 humidity sensor instrument to Scribner Associates of Southern Pines, NC.
Scribner designs and manufactures a variety of fuel cell test stations and electrochemical instruments, with distributors in Asia, Europe and Canada.
The performance of hydrogen fuel cells using a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) depends on the moisture level of the membrane. The membrane only conducts protons when it is hydrated or moist. The moisture is provided by water vapour in the incoming air or hydrogen stream. The VIASPACE HS-1000 VIASENSOR instrument provides real-time measurements of the amount of water vapour in these gas streams and can be utilised within a fuel cell test station for that purpose.
