CRDS Laser-Based Analyzer
With our Tiger Optics’ the Prismatic™ 3 laser-based, multi-species trace gas analyzer, we provide a critical tool for use in a variety of applications in both research and industrial settings, where real-time, on-line gas monitoring is essential. The Prismatic 3 is ideally suited for fuel-cell hydrogen purity monitoring throughout the entire hydrogen supply chain—from production to transportation and storage to the fueling station.
This compact, CRDS-based analyzer offers simultaneous detection of H2O, CO, CO2 and CH4 from parts-per-billion to parts-per-million levels to ensure purity requirements in line with SAE J2719 and ISO 14687:2019.
The Prismatic 3 is very easy to install and operate with integrated touchscreen and intuitive graphical user interface to allow efficient data trending and analysis. The cost of ownership is extremely low, with no calibration, spare parts or utility gases required.
BENEFITS
