5.1.4 Once all the parameters have been set, then press START. The H-Genie
®
will
now start filling up the
batch reactor with hydrogen. The “Actual” value will start
to rise and indicate the external pressure. If this number does not rise or rises
extremely slowly (when taking into account the reactor size and gas flow rate),
then check both the tubing and reactor for leaks.
5.1.5 Once the reactor reaches the set pressure, then the H-Genie
®
will stop
generating hydrogen and wait. If a fall in pressure is detected (i.e. because of
the consumption of hydrogen in the reaction) then more hydrogen will be
generated. The amount of this hydrogen is logged in the Consumed Hydrogen
section on the Info Screen. If you ever need to reset this amount, then quickly
press STOP and START button.
