IV. Requirements HYDROSTIK PRO Cartridge
●
Provided by Horizon
● HYDROSTIK PRO metal hydride cartridge
● Refilling tubing connects the cartridge to the regulator
● A Horizon-designed adaptor that connects the SWAGELOK connector to the HYDROSTIK
PRO
●
Other Items Required
● A compressed hydrogen cylinder with pressure of 150 - 200Bar (1276 – 2900PSI).
● A H2 pressure regulator that can handle an input pressure of at least 200Bar
(2900PSI) and deliver output pressures that can be adjusted from 10 Bar
(145PSI) to 40 Bar (580PSI). This regulator should include 2 pressure
gauges that can display the input pressure and the output pressure.
● Male & Female SWAGELOK 1/8” quick connectors type QC4-B-200 and QC4-D-200.
● A 40Bar(580PSI) resistant hose assembly connecting the output of the regulator to the
SWAGELOK quick connector.
● A water basin that is big enough to hold the cartridge under water in a horizontal position.
● Adjustable wrenches.
V. Before Operation
Before starting the operation process, regardless of quantity, it is crucial to check all hydrogen
systems on the safety and operational aspects in order to rule out and exclude any possible hazards,
failures or setbacks during the process. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the whole operation
will be carried out adequate and will follow all instructions provided here. Doing so will also maintain
the cycle and lifetime of the HYDROSTIK PRO.
●
Checklist before operation
● Do the lab and operation environment comply and consist with all the safety standards
regarding the usage of hydrogen and HYDROSTIK PRO?
● Is the training of the operator sufficient, and is the operator aware and does he/she
understand all the safety aspects regarding the operation of the HYDROSTIK PRO
and hydrogen in general?
● Is the safety of the personnel at and near the hydrogen lab taken into account, and are all
emergency procedures clear and intelligible?
● Are the HYDROSTIK PRO cartridges checked for any traces of damage, deformation,
leakage, or impact of any kind?
● Are all the tube connections and nuts checked regularly, so no contamination of any kind will
interfere in the process?
●
Checklist during operation
● Operations against rules stated in this user manual are strictly prohibited.
● Strictly comply with the safety operation regulations. Keep close attention to the
changing of the working pressure, temperature and working media, etc.
● Disassembling any parts of the HYDROSTIK PRO under pressure is strongly prohibited.
● It is strongly prohibited to use the pressure cartridges beyond the operation conditions.
