Temperature Dependency of Platinum based Hydrogen and Natural Gas Sensor

该项目旨在支持增强快速、准确和低成本的传感器，用于H2和天然气混合物的成分分析。该传感器已开发用于氢气，天然气和生物甲烷应用（或上述任何一种的混合物），可用于成分分析和气体特性（如CV和Wobbe）。核心传感器技术包括芯片上的交叉电极，表面涂有与气体相互作用的铂纳米复合材料层。还包括精确的温度和压力监测，以便数据可以纠正这些参数。现有产品被设计为在相对狭窄的温度和压力范围内工作，与最佳可用技术（如气相色谱法）一致。该项目旨在将该产品的工作温度范围扩大到-40℃至+ 70℃，以便在全球范围内更广泛、更经济地部署，而不需要辅助加热/冷却，也不需要相关的复杂性、成本和环境影响。

This project is to support the enhancement of a fast, accurate and low cost sensor for compositional analysis of H2 and Natural Gas blends. The sensor has been developed for Hydrogen, Natural Gas and Biomethane applications (or blends of any of the above) and can be utilised for compositional analysis and gas properties (such as CV and Wobbe).The core sensor technology consists of an interdigitated electrode on a chip coated with a platinum nanocomposite layer that interacts with the gas. Also included is precise temperature and pressure monitoring so that the data can be corrected for these parameters. The existing product has been designed to operate across a relatively narrow temperature and pressure range, consistent with Best Available Technologies such as Gas Chromatography.This project is to expand the operational temperature range of the product to -40C to + 70C so that it can be more widely and cost effectively deployed on a global scale without the need for ancillary heating/cooling and the associated complication, cost and environmental impact of doing so.
