FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RENTON, Wash., October 23, 2014 — Lightel® announced today the introduction of its LTL-H2-500, a bench top hydrogen gas generator designed for gas chromatography, among other applications.
The unit is an excellent companion to Lightel’s flame-based optical fiber fusion workstations in the production of fused coupler and taper products. Based on the electrolytic principle, the generator utilizes potassium hydroxide as the electrolytic solution and a noble metal as the electrode. Hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of distilled or de-ionized water and then a membrane-separation method fully separates the hydrogen and oxygen. This technique provides excellent hydrogen gas purity with an oxygen residue of < 3PPM. It also eliminates the need for H2 cylinders along with the accompanying safety and handling issues.
“Our customers love the purity of the hydrogen they get out of such a compact generator. Not only is it compact and reliable, but it’s simple to use. Simplicity really is key with this unit,” said Kevin Shirk, Vice President of Sales.
