  • Combustible gas detection systems and method thereof
    Patent number: 7159444
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring the levels of combustible gas in a gas stream. The system includes means for controlling the relative humidity of the the gas stream to maintain a humidity level in the performance range of combustible gas sensors. A number techniques are illustrated for achieving the humidity control, including, secondary phase separations, mixing the gas with dry air and adjusting of the gas stream temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2007
    Assignee: Proton Energy Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Edward Demarest, John Koopman, Norman Schaefer, Andrzej Stanek, Iris Shiroma, Allan Tomasco, Elena Stockton, Frano Barbir, John Zagaja, Thomas Skoczylas, Lawrence Moulthrop

  • ANODE/CATHODE FEED HIGH PRESSURE ELECTROLYSIS SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20030230495
    Abstract: One embodiment of a method of operating an electrochemical cell system comprises: flowing supply water to an anode electrode of an electrolysis cell, applying a first current density to the electrolysis cell, electrolyzing the supply water at the anode electrode wherein hydrogen ions and a first portion water migrate to a cathode electrode of the electrolysis cell, collecting the first portion of water in a chamber in fluid communication with the cathode electrode, monitoring a first portion water level in the chamber, when the first portion water level attains a first selected level, decreasing the supply water flow to the anode electrode a sufficient amount to draw the first portion water from the chamber to the anode electrode, and electrolyzing the first portion water.
