The 5th World Hydrogen Technology Conference will be held from September 25th to 28th, 2013 at the Shanghai Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center. The World Hydrogen Energy Technology Conference, hosted by the Hydrogen Energy Society, is a high-level academic conference and exhibition on hydrogen energy, fuel cells, and other related hydrogen energy technologies on a global scale. At that time, the French instrument company Setalam will showcase its upgraded fully automatic gas adsorption/desorption equipment and various combined applications.

The PCTPro developed by Professor Karl J. Gross, who specializes in hydrogen storage material research at Sandia National Laboratory in the United States, is currently the most powerful and measurement result oriented fully automatic gas adsorption tester on the market. PCTPro can be used to measure the gas adsorption properties of materials, perform PCT testing, and measure adsorption, desorption kinetics, and cycle life. It is not only suitable for measuring hydrogen adsorption, but also for characterizing the adsorption characteristics of various gases such as H2, CO2, CH4, CO, NH3, etc.

PCTPro has the following technical characteristics

• The sample size range is wide and can measure sample sizes ranging from mg to Kg.
• Automatic PID control gas pressure system, automatic control of high pressure measurement, up to 200 bar.
• Pressure sensors with ranges of 3000 psi and 100 psi, and the ability to automatically select and switch pressure sensors with appropriate ranges, make pressure measurement more accurate.
• The external design of the sample allows for simultaneous use with other characterization methods such as calorimeter, high-pressure mass spectrometry, XRD, etc., for in-situ analysis of adsorption heat and phase change heat.
• The combustible gas detection and fire prevention devices ensure the safety of the instrument.

PCTPro not only has the advantages of volumetric instruments, but also has more powerful functions and wider applications compared to other commercial adsorption testers. It can characterize various materials in a very wide temperature and pressure range. At the same time, it overcomes the weaknesses of conventional volumetric instruments, can test extremely small amounts of samples, and can be combined with various other analytical methods. The performance test results of various hydrogen storage materials indicate that PCTPro-2000 provides a series of unrestricted and high-precision characterization methods for the development of hydrogen storage materials. At present, the users of PCTPro basically cover all hydrogen storage laboratories in China, and have received high praise from industry teachers for their excellent performance and performance.

During the exhibition, any teacher who registers at the booth on site has the opportunity to receive a mysterious gift prepared by Setalam Company~
