The YMHN-50 can generate a hydrogen-nitrogen gas blend (below, "hydrogen trace gas") from just an injection of purified water, and is also capable of generating hydrogen trace gas easily and economically.

*Trace gas: Very small quantities of a gas that, in product airtightness investigations and testing, is mainly used to detect leakages in test subjects.

Summary

- Generates hydrogen from purified water and extracts nitrogen from air, then blends them precisely to produce hydrogen trace gas.

- Highly reliable safety system emits no flammable hydrogen gas.

- Under Japanese law, no legal applications need to be submitted for installation and the system can be installed smoothly into a production line.
