ICAP Patent Brokerage declared that the patented advanced hydrogen sensor technology is now available for sale. Hydrogen fuel cells are being used increasingly by America for energy generation.
This would indirectly increase the demand for hydrogen gas sensors. Hydrogen gas is known to be highly inflammable; therefore it is important to have an efficient detection mechanism in place to ensure safe and secure usage.
The key points covered in the patent portfolio disclose the details of the material used for making the sensor and the status of the prototype. Nano particles of a metal alloy made of palladium and silver of any size are manufactured by using ANI techniques. A working model of the sensor is available and the buyer can use the model as the basis for manufacturing products to suit current and future applications. The ANI engineering team plans to take training sessions on production and sales techniques to impart the technical and functional knowledge of the sensor to the buyer. The sensor is capable of detecting very low levels of hydrogen gas, even below LFL. It exhibits good tolerance towards the environments encountered during detection of hydrogen gas. Highly sophisticated techniques have been used for fabricating the nanoparticles. Therefore, the hydrogen sensors manufactured from these particles are compact, low-cost and robust in design. The countries that are covered by the patent are Canada, South Korea, Japan, China, US and Europe.
Hydrogen sensors offer huge market potential and hence it is the right time for buyers to acquire patents. Companies from various sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, food processing, aviation and transportation cab stand to benefit from the patent. It is estimated that with the introduction of hydrogen powered automotive cars, the automotive market is poised to make an investments of 200 billion dollars.
