POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2.2.2 Mechanical and Handling Hazards


WARNING: Improper handling, operation, or maintenance of the equipment may cause personal injury and also lead to equipment damage.The Charge Station system weighs approximately 250 kg. Attempting to lift it may present a serious risk of muscle strain or other personal injury.

Use appropriate safety equipment and lifting practices when installing or moving the Charge Station to another location.

2.2.3 Electrical Hazards


WARNING: High levels of voltage exist within the product that present a risk of electric shock. The 17-cell electrolyzer stack operates at up to 38 VDC and draws up to 202 Amperes. Due to the presence of residual reactants, the stack may continue to have a potentially dangerous electrical charge at its terminals, even after shutdown.

The cell stack must be disconnected from the power source, and purged with nitrogen before any service is performed. Do not touch the potentially high-voltage areas, such as the wiring harness, the stack terminals and the power cables.. Do not open the cabinet or touch any internal Charge Station components immediately after shut-down as voltage may still be present. Do not short-circuit charged components of the stack with metal object. Do not wear metal or electrically conductive jewelry while performing any service work on the equipment.
NOTE: Protective Conductor Terminal (Ground) -to protective earth (PE).

Ensure that the product is adequately earthed to protect against stray currents and static electricity hazards, in accordance with national codes and regulations.

2.2.4 High Temperatures


WARNING: Product surfaces and internal components can become hot and may cause severe burns. Ensure the Charge Station has completely cooled down before servicing.

Ensure the unit has cooled down before draining DI water from the system.

2.2.5 Flammable Gas Atmosphere and Fire/Explosion Risks


WARNING: The hydrogen gas produced by the product may cause a fire or an explosion when exposed to heat, sparks or flames, or as a result of friction, especially in enclosed areas or under conditions of inadequate ventilation.

The process output of the Charge Station is hydrogen, which is a flammable, colourless, odourless and tasteless gas. Hydrogen is non-toxic and cannot be detected by human senses. Hydrogen and air mixtures are highly combustible/explosive. A hydrogen leak from any part of the equipment or its auxiliaries could create a combustion/ explosion hazard. Ensure that equipment containing hydrogen is adequately ventilated. Electrically ground hydrogen-conveying equipment, water lines and vent stack, etc. Keep all sources of ignition away. Prohibit open flames (smoking and welding) in a hydrogen area. Maintain a positive pressure in hydrogen vessels to prevent the entry of air. Periodically check for hydrogen leaks from the equipment piping using a hand-held sensor and/or SnoopTM. Hydrogen pressure should be monitored periodically. See the Reference Documents section at the beginning of this manual for sourcing important reference materials concerning use and safe handling of hydrogen.

2.2.5.1 Action in the Event of Fire


The most effective method to fight a hydrogen fire is to extinguish the source of hydrogen supply, provided this can be done safely.
WARNING: Risk of explosion. Extinguishing a hydrogen fire while the source of hydrogen continues to leak/flow can quickly create an explosive atmosphere more hazardous than the fire itself.

Where hydrogen cannot be isolated, do not extinguish the hydrogen fire while the flow of leaking hydrogen continues, as the danger of creating an explosion or an explosive re-ignition is a greater potential hazard than the existing fire. Use water jets or sprays to cool surrounding equipment, especially pressurized hydrogen
containers, during the fire, but DO NOT use water to extinguish the hydrogen fire directly.

Ensure that personnel responsible for operating the Charge Station and/or its related components are properly trained to respond to an emergency situation.

2.2.6 Enriched Oxygen Atmospheres


WARNING: The product produces oxygen as it operates. An oxygen enriched atmosphere represents a hazardous condition and it is a serious physiological risk. The equipment produces oxygen as it operates. The discharge from the anode system is pure oxygen.

Ensure that the Charge Station operates in an adequately ventilated environment. Ensure that the hydrogen vent line is properly vented to the outdoors. Periodically check for leaks from the equipment piping. Oxygen and hydrocarbons (oil and grease) can react violently, potentially resulting in explosions , fire, injury and/or property damage. Never allow oil and grease to come in contact with oxygen under pressure. Even small amounts of hydrocarbons (or any organic matter) in the presence of high concentration, low pressure oxygen can be hazardous. Ensure that all tools, clothes, hands and personal protective equipment are free of organic oils and grease when servicing oxygen lines.

UNCRATING AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

PEM ELECTROLYZER

The combustible vent line must be run to the outdoors, as explained in Section 4.3.1.2 Combustible Vent on page 19.

4.2

Uncrating and Inspection Instructions


Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the PEM Electrolyzer container has been damaged during shipment, immediately report it to Hydrogenics Corporation and the shipping personnel. If there is no visible external damage, open the crate and remove all the packaging around the unit. Inspect the unit for any damage which may have occurred during transportation.
CAUTION: If any damage is suspected, do not use the PEM Electrolyzer without the written approval of Hydrogenics Corporation.

Use a lifting device when moving the unit to another location (until it is unpacked and placed on its wheels, if provided in the order). Once the PEM Electrolyzer is placed in its final position, lock the wheels. Check the freeze indicator. If it indicates that the unit has been exposed to freezing temperatures immediately report the situation to Hydrogenics Corporation.
NOTE: If practical, please retain the original packing materials against the event that the unit may need to be returned to Hydrogenics for service or repairs.

4.3

PEM Electrolyzer Connections


The unit connections can be divided into 3 main categories: process, power and diagnostic.

4.3.1 Process Connections


In general terms, process connections are the points where fluids (DI water, hydrogen, oxygen) enter and/or leave the PEM Electrolyzer. Process interconnect tubing should be SS316 rigid or flexible braided tube with an appropriate pressure rating (meeting local regulations) and compatible with the process fluid. With the exception of DI water feed/drain lines, PVC, teflon or other types of plastic tubes are not recommended. Process Interconnect tubing must be equal to or larger than the process interface fittings (no downsizing allowed) Figure 4-1: Process Connections (typical)

HYDROGENICS CORPORATION

Revision 3

INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

PEM ELECTROLYZER CONNECTIONS

WARNING: All metal tubes must be connected to a common grounding system.

NOTE: The drain is only required when draining the unit for service. It is not used during operation of the PEM Electrolyzer.

4.3.1.1 Hydrogen (H2) Output


A bulkhead compression fitting, 316SS, has been provided to connect to the hydrogen line. Interconnect hydrogen tubing should be minimum 1/4-.039 316SS.

4.3.1.2 Combustible Vent


A bulkhead compression fitting, 316SS, has been provided to connect to the combustible vent line. During operation a small amount of gas flows out of the vent to regenerate the dryer.

The vent line must run outside the building. Once outside, terminate the vent line with a goose-neck, to prevent rain from entering the line. Place the output of the vent line away from any possible sources of ignition or other ventilation outputs (especially oxygen vents). Place the output of the vent line such that it cannot exhaust on people or building surfaces.
When the PEM Electrolyzer is powered up, the hydrogen purge valve is automatically activated to purge the system and allow product gases to reach reasonable levels of purity. This purge valve is also activated during the shut-down procedure of the PEM Electrolyzer, or if there is an internal over-pressure.

4.3.1.3 DI Water Supply


The DI water is used both to cool internal PEM Electrolyzer components and as the source for conversion to hydrogen and oxygen. The customer must supply a source of DI water outside the PEM Electrolyzer cabinet. A bulkhead compression fitting, 316SS, has been provided to connect to the DI water input line. DI water input requirements are:

Consumption: 1.2 L/h Flow rate: 1 L/min Pressure: 10100 psig Temperature: 5 to 45 C

Revision 3

HYDROGENICS CORPORATION

19

PEM ELECTROLYZER CONNECTIONS

PEM ELECTROLYZER

There must be no oil or particulates present in the DI water stream. A minimum 10-micron filter should be used ahead of the DI water supply connection. The DI water quality must be at least 2 Mohmcm.

4.3.1.4 DI Water Drain


DI water is generally consumed by the electrolysis process. There is no need to drain water during operation; a permanent drain connection is optional. When required for maintenance, the customer may drain the water into a pan or vessel. A bulkhead compression fitting, 316SS, has been provided to connect to the gravity fed DI water drain.

4.3.1.5 Leak Check and Nitrogen Purge


After installation of site interconnection tubing and hydrogen storage has been completed, a pressure test and leak test must be performed. The pressure and leak tests should follow local requirements. The PEM Electrolyzer is pressure tested at the factory and only requires a leak test. A nitrogen purge of the hydrogen storage tank and adjacent tubing is mandatory every time the system components have been (or are suspected to have been) exposed to air. Typically a successful purge requires a dilution of oxygen content below the level at which a potentially flammable gas mixture exists. This level is known as the limiting or minimum oxygen concentration (MOC) and for hydrogen is typically taken as 4% oxygen by volume. A dilution below half of this level is generally accepted as safe. For a typical storage system previously exposed to air (21% oxygen), this level can be achieved by pressurizing the system to ~30psig and then venting to ~7psig for a minimum 4 times. During or after the pressurizing/ venting cycle, the pressure should never be allowed to drop to ambient.

4.3.2 Power Connections


The PEM Electrolyzer must be supplied with a 200-250 VAC, 60 A, 1 phase 50/60Hz electrical connection. Figure 4-2: Power Interface (right view) Before connecting the PEM Electrolyzer to a power source, ensure the following:

All process/site interconnecting tubing is complete and pressure/leak tested (Section 4.3.1.5 Leak Check and Nitrogen Purge on page 20). All site interconnecting H2 gas tubes and all H2 storage vessels have been purged with nitrogen or other inert gas (Section 4.3.1.5 Leak Check and Nitrogen Purge on page 20) PEM Electrolyzer is properly connected to a common grounding system as per application All hand valves in normal operating position

5 | Operation
This section describes system functions and controls.
Once the PEM Electrolyzer has been installed and initialized, it can operate automatically indefinitely, as long as there is an uninterrupted supply of power, DI water and available hydogen storage capacity. The PEM Electrolyzer will produce gas until the line pressure reaches 100 psig (~790 kPa), at which point it will shut down. Once line pressure is reduced to a pre-defined setpoint, the PEM Electrolyzer will re-activate and continue to produce gas.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

6. Press Start Button.


Once the start command is received, the status display (HMI) will display the following status sequence:

Cabinet Purge: This is intended to remove any hydrogen that may have accumulated inside the process compartment due to a hydrogen leak while the PEM Electrolyzer was in
standby. The cabinet purge fan will run while HMI displays "PURGE CABINET". If the airspeed sensor does not read between factory set minimum and maximum values, the HMI will display AIR FLOW SPEED SENSOR OUT OF RANGE. If the air flow speed is within range but the air flow speed is too low for a specific period of time (both speed and time limits are factory default settings), the HMI will display "AIR FLOW SPEED UNDER LIMIT. DI Water Fill: If the DI water tank is empty, the DI water feed solenoid valve SV4003 will open; otherwise this step will be skipped. Once DI water tank has filled, the DI water feed pump PMP1000 will turn on and solenoid valve SV1127 will open to fill the oxygen separator TK1002. The HMI displays "FILL WATER". Prime Pump: When oxygen separator is full, the water circulation pump PMP1003 starts and the HMI will show the "PRIME PUMP" message while the electrolyzer waits for a steady flow confirmation. During this step the pump can cycle (start and stop) several times if the steady circulation flow is not confirmed within a certain time. If the maximum number of cycles is reached without steady flow being established, the system will fault and the HMI will display the "FAIL TO PRIME PUMP" fault message. Polishing Water: Once the steady flow has been established, the DI water resistivity is checked. If found less than 2 Mcm, the system will continue to circulate water via the cell stack circulationloop in an attempt to improve it. During this time, the HMI will display the "POLISH WATER " message. If DI water quality fails to improve within a certain time, the system faults and the HMI displays "FAIL TO POLISH WATER". If water resistivity is greater than 2 Mcm then this step is skipped. Pressurization: Once DI water resistivity is > 2 Mcm, the cell stack is energized, generating hydrogen and oxygen. System pressure starts rising; the HMI displays "PRESSURIZE SYSTEM. The PEM Electrolyzer must pressurize to a preset pressure in a certain time otherwise it will fault and the HMI will display "FAIL TO PRESSURIZE SYSTEM. During this step the differential pressure control is active. It is very important to maintain differential pressure within specific limits in order to preserve the PEM membrane integrity. Differential pressure is maintained by: -active control at process level by the means of oxygen backpressure regulating valve PRV3004, dome loaded hydrogen backpressure regulating valve PRV2007 (reference pressure set by oxygen pressure) and non return valve CHK2037. The PRV3004 sets the cell stack pressure. This same pressure is being applied to the dome of hydrogen backpressure regulating valve PRV2007, ensuring the set point of the two PRVs is actively balanced. -reactive control by triggering the Emergency Shut Down mechanism based on oxygen and hydrogen pressure transmitters (PT1010 and PT1100 respectively) when the low or high pressure differential limits are reached. The HMI displays (respectively) "DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE LOW" or "DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE HIGH". In normal operation some hydrogen is evacuated from the PEM Electrolyzer during the short pressurization phase through the hydrogen vent stack.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

PEM ELECTROLYZER

H2 Purge: Once pressurized, the PEM Electrolyzer begins the hydrogen purge phase. The HMI displays "PURGE HYDROGEN". The pressure continues to rise to the point set by PRV2007 (implicitly by PRV3004). Once set point pressure has been reached the oxygen starts flowing out and pressure is maintained at a constant value (normal set in the range of 100-115 psig). Simultaneously, the hydrogen pressure rises to the same value and the hydrogen is conveyed via oxygen removal reactor (Deoxo) R2009, and dryers VSSL2014 and VSSL2015 (first through dryer VSSL2014, then dryer VSSL2015) to the hydrogen vent stack (dryer depressurization valves are open during this phase). The non return valve CHK2036 ensures a positive relative pressure in the purification system so air cannot re-enter even if solenoid valves SV2014 and SV2018 are open. Run: After the PEM Electrolyzer has been purged, the system advances to hydrogen production. The HMI displays SYSTEM RUNNING. Hydrogen and oxygen pressure is balanced as described above with hydrogen pressure 0.5-5psig higher than oxygen pressure. This prevents oxygen from migrating into the hydrogen stream. Conversely, hydrogen-inoxygen crossover leaks are detected by hydrogen detector GD1000. A reading greater than 40%LFL (1.6 % by volume) or a defective sensor will trigger an Emergency Shut Down. The hydrogen flows into Oxygen Removal Reactor R2009. Here a very small amount of hydrogen is recombined with any residual oxygen forming water. The reaction requires a palladium based catalyst found in the Oxygen Removal Reactor (Deoxo). After passing through the Deoxo vessel, hydrogen enters the dryers where moisture content is dropped down to 15 ppm.

5.3.2 Dryer Operation


Drying of the hydrogen stream occurs by pressure swing adsorption. Drying vessels VSSL2014 and VSSL2015 are filled with an alumina based desiccant (molecular sieve) that captures moisture from hydrogen stream. In principle one dryer is active at a time while the other is regenerating. Regeneration of desiccant is necessary to release moisture trapped during the active phase. The 3-way valve SV2012 initially directs hydrogen towards dryer VSSL2014. The hydrogen flows from Deoxo into dryer VSSL2014 for 15 minutes, exiting with less than 15 ppm moisture content. Regeneration valve SV2014 is kept closed (energized) as long as dryer VSSL2014 is active. Approximately 80% of the hydrogen flow will be directed to the user line via 3-way valve SV2013 and dryer backpressure regulating valve PRV2023. PRV2023 ensures that pressure in the active drying vessel is maintained at 85-95 psig (necessary for adsorption to occur). However, the PRV2023 setpoint must be lower than that of PRV3004 in order to keep the oxygen and hydrogen pressures balanced. The remaining 20% of the hydrogen flow is directed to dryer VSSL2015 (now in regeneration) via metering valve OR2017 and then out to the vent stack via open (de-energized) regeneration valve SV2018. Regeneration of dryer VSSL2015 happens at low pressure (1-3psig) over a 10 minute period. After 10 minutes, regeneration valve SV2018 will close (energize) and the vessel will pressurize (while regeneration flow through OR2017 slowly drops) until it reaches the same pressure as active drying vessel

OPERATING PROCEDURE

VSSL2014. When pressure in the two dryers is balanced, the regeneration flow stops and dryer VSSL2015 remains pressurized until the end of active phase of dryer VSSL2014. Total pressurization and standby time of dryer VSSL2015 is 5 minutes. After 15 minutes the two drying columns reverse roles: dryer VSSL2014 goes into regeneration while dryer VSSL2015 becomes active. Figure 5-7 illustrates the dryers operation and pressurization/depressurization cycle.

Figure 5-7: Dryer Cycling

Zone A: Drying column A is active and fully pressurized. 100% of hydrogen produced by the cell stack flows through. Drying column B is in regeneration at low pressure. 20% of the already dry hydrogen flow (from downstream drying column A) passes through and then out to the vent stack. This flow is wasted to atmosphere. Zone B: Drying column A is active and fully pressurized. 100% of hydrogen produced by the cellsatck flows through. Drying column B is in regeneration but the regeneration valve (SV2018) is now closed and pressure is rising while regeneration flow is dropping from 20% to zero. It will reach full pressure in less than 5 minutes. Zone C: Drying column A is active and fully pressurized. 100% of hydrogen produced by the cellsatck flows through. Drying column B is pressurized at full pressure and in standby. At this point, 100% of cell stack hydrogen produced is directed to the user line. The next three phases (zones D, E and F) mirror the first three (zones A, B and C respectively) Zone D: Drying column B is active and fully pressurized. 100% of hydrogen produced by the cell stack flows through. Drying column A is in regeneration at low pressure. 20% of the already dry hydrogen flow (from downstream drying column B) passes through and then out to the vent stack. This flow is wasted to atmosphere.

Zone E: Drying column B is active and fully pressurized. 100% of hydrogen produced by the cellsatck flows through. Drying column A is in regeneration but the regeneration valve (SV2014) is now closed and pressure is rising while regeneration flow is dropping from 20% to zero. It will reach full pressure in less than 5 minutes. Zone F: Drying column B is active and fully pressurized. 100% of hydrogen produced by the cellsatck flows through. Drying column A is pressurized at full pressure and in standby.

5.3.3 Continuous Operation


After passing through the purification system (Deoxo and drying vessels) the hydrogen stream is directed to the user via backpressure regulating valve PRV2023 and solenoid valve SV2019. Unit will remain in "RUN" state for as long as user line pressure is below the pressure switch PS2026 high setpoint. (also referred to as automatic shutdown pressure). This is factory set to 100psig but may be altered within certain limits at customer request. Once the pressure high setpoint is reached the PEM Electrolyzer shuts down and the shutdown depress is activated. The HMI displays "SHUTDOWN - WAIT FOR SYSTEM DEPRESSURIZATION. Once the shutdown phase is complete, the PEM Electrolyzer goes to standby. It remains in standby for as long as user line pressure is above the lower setpoint of pressure switch PS2026 (also referred to as automatic restart pressure). This is factory set to 60psig but may be altered within certain limits at customer request. The HMI displays "SYSTEM READY WAIT FOR DEMAND". Once user line pressure pressure drops below automatic restart pressure, the unit restarts and runs the cycle described above.

6. Turn power to the unit back on and bring the monitoring software on line For all units: 7. Start up unit and allow at least 15 min of operation 8. Using monitoring software read oxygen pressure (under "System" screen). This pressure must be in the range of 100-115psig. If the pressure is lower than 100 psig, adjust the set screw of PRV3004 (PID dwg 1038516 rev3) by slowly turning it clockwise till the desired pressure has been reached. Run PEM Electrolyzer for a couple minutes to make sure that pressure reading stabilizes to the proper value. Readjust setpoint if necessary.
CAUTION: Regulator PRV3004 must be set for higher pressure than regulator PRV2023 at all times otherwise damage or underperformance of the system will occur.

9. There are 2 drying columns, each running 15 minute drying cycles. While one dryer is running an active drying cycle, the second runs a 10 minute regeneration plus 5 minute pressurization cycle. Every 15 minutes, the dryers switch cycles such that the dryer that was active goes into regeneration and vice versa.

6.2.8.4 PRV2023 Setpoint Adjustment


PRV 2023 (PID dwg 1038516 rev3) can be adjusted similarly to PRV3004 (described in Section 6.2.8.3 above). However, the setpoint must be 85-95 psig and the reading should be taken from the dryer pressure gauge. For units without a manufacturer installed pressure indicator, use the test gauge that was used for the PRV3004 setpoint adjustment (Figure 6-13) and wait for the respective dryer to become active.

6.2.13.3Solenoid Valve Maintenance


WARNING: To prevent the possibility of personal injury or property damage, turn off electrical power, depressurize valve and vent fluid to a safe area before servcing the valve.

Cleaning
All solenoid valves should be cleaned periodically. The time between cleaning will vary depending on the medium and service conditions. In general, if the hvoltage to the coil is correct, sluggish valve operation, excessive noise or leakage will indicate that cleaning is required. In the extreme case, faulty valve operation will occur and the valve may fail to shift. Clean strainer or filter when cleaning the valve.

Preventative Maintenance
Keep the medium flowing through the valve as free from dirt and foreign material as possible. While in service, the valve should be operated at least once a month to ensure proper opening and closing. Depending on the medium and service conditions, periodic inspection of internal valve parts for damage or excessive wear is recommended. Thoroughly clean all parts. If parts are worn or damaged, install a complete ASCO Rebuild Kit.

Causes of Improper Operation


Incorrrect Pressure: Check valve pressure. Pressure to valve must be within range specified on nameplate. Excessive Leakage: Disassemble valve and clean all parts. If parts are worn or damaged, install a complete ASCO Rebuild Kit.

Valve Disassembly
1. Switch power off and lock/tag out main disconnect. Cell stack must be completely depressurized and free from any residual electrical charge. 2. Remove unit back cover. 3. Remove valve to be serviced from PEM Electrolyzer. 4. Disassemble valve in an orderly fashion using exploded views for identification and placement of parts. 5. Secure valve in a bench vise and pop solenoid retention red cap and retention plate using the screwdriver (Figures 6-23 and 6-24). Some valves have solenoid retained by a nut; in this case, unscrew the nut.

6.2.14 DI bed, Catalyst and Molecular Sieve Check and Replacement


The DI bed is an ion exchange resin found inside DI filter FLT1005 that helps improve water purity (see P6070061). Feed water quality and hours of operation can affect the time it takes the bed to reach saturation. The recommended replacement cycle is 3000hrs of operation (or less if saturation of the bed is suspected). Saturation is gauged by the monitoring software water conductivity reading. The catalyst is found in the Oxygen Removal Reactor (also called the Deoxo vessel, Figure 6-31). The molecular sieve is found in the drying columns VSSL2014 and VSSL2015 (also called Dryers, Figure 6-32). Recommended replacement cycle is 4 years for both catalyst and molecular sieve.

Process Adjustment Procedures


The dryer regeneration and shutdown depressurization metering valves, OR2017 and OR2018 respectively, are factory set. Unless it is suspected that the settings have altered, the following adjustment procedures do not need to performed.

6.3.1 Dryer Regeneration Flow Rate Check and Adjustment


Dryer regeneration flow rate is factory set to meet dry regeneration requirements when unit runs at nominal production rate. Optionally, it can be set for lower production rates in accordance with customer needs. Typically the regeneration flow rate should be 20% of production volume. A regeneration flow rate lower than this number will lead over to poor dryer performance (humid gas) ; a flow rate that is too large will waste hydrogen gas and reduce the PEM Electrolyzer efficiency. Adjustment of the regeneration flow rate is a complex tune up operation and should be done only by qualified personnel and only when absolutely necessary (e. g., if the production rate desired by customer differs significantly from the one for which the regeneration flow rate was factory tuned).

WARNING: Before removing covers or servicing, turn off the unit and then check bus bar voltage every 10 minutes until it has fallen to less than 1 Vdc. Verify voltage across the load bus bars using a voltmeter or multimeter.

WARNING: Ensure the PEM Electrolyzers is depressurized before servicing.

WARNING: Risk of severe burns. Do not attempt to service the PEM Electrolyzer while it is still operating. Ensure the unit has completely cooled to ambient temperature before servicing.

Anode: Electrically negative electrode at which water is split to form hydrogen. Cathode: Electrically positive electrode at which water is split to form oxygen. Cell: One complete repeating unit consisting of two bipolar plates, the diffusion/support media, electrodes and the solid polymer membrane. Charge Station Cell Stack: An assembly of single electrolyzer cells arranged in series. E-stop: Emergency Stop. ECU: Engine Control Unit. This is a microprocessor-based unit that supervises and controls all system functions for the Charge Station. HMI: Human Machine Interface. The status display on the PEM Electrolyzer front panel. kPa: Kilopascals (pressure), understood to be an absolute value unless specified otherwise. LEL: Lower Explosive Limit. LFL: Lower Flammability Limit. MOC: Minimum Oxygen Concentration. PPE: personal protective equipment, e.g. safety glasses. psi, psia vs. psig: pounds per square inch (pressure); psia absolute (includes atmospheric pressure in measurement) vs. psig gauge (pressure internal to system only). Relative Humidity: The measured partial pressure of the gas at the operating temperature process conditions divided by the theoretical partial pressure of the gas at the same temperature. SI: International System of Units. SLPM: standard litres per minutesee Standard Conditions. Stack Operation: The stack is considered to be "operating" when the current is being drawn by the stack (main DC contactor is closed). This time will be recorded by the systems hour meter HM1.
