Safety Features
The H-Genie
®
has the following safety features to ensure safe and reliable operation:
1. The H-Genie
®
is equipped with an internal hydrogen sensor, so in the unlikely
event of a hydrogen leak the system will automatically shut down.
2. If the H-Genie
®
cannot generate hydrogen pressure internally, then the system
will automatically go into emergency shutdown mode.
3. Water leak detection.
4. The flow of air inside the H-Genie
®
is enforced using 3 fans to ensure that the
temperature inside the unit does not rise excessively and to prevent any build
of hydrogen or oxygen in the event of a leak.
5. Upon power-up the H-Genie
®
performs a self-check for internal leaks.
6. The hydrogen pressure inside the generator should only reach a maximum of
115 bar (1668 psi) and this is controlled electronically via a pressure sensor and
mechanically using a pressure relief valve (Fail Safe).
7. There is a water level detector to ensure that the cell never runs dry.
8. Water separator malfunctions are checked to avoid high water content in the
high-pressure system.
9. Water purity is checked to avoid the degradation of the electrolytic cell.
10. When the H-Genie
®
is in emergency status the following occurs:
a. The current to the cell is stopped.
b. The internally stored hydrogen is evacuated into the fume hood.
c. An audible and visual alarm will be heard.
