Crowcon Fgard H2

It offers ultra-fast and accurate detection, even in demanding industrial environments where hydrogen’s colorless and nearly invisible flame poses a serious safety risk.

Unlike traditional flame detectors, Fgard H2 is optimized for hydrogen detecting flames in less than 4 seconds from up to 40 meters away.

Key Features:

• Ultra-fast response: Detects hydrogen flames from up to 40 meters in 2–5 seconds
• Hydrogen-specific design: Ideal for applications where traditional detectors struggle to identify hydrogen flames reliably
• Heated optics: Prevents fog, ice, and water buildup – operates in all weather conditions
• Automatic optical self-test: Monitors lens and electronics condition without manual testing
• Industry-leading warranty: 5-year factory warranty on hydrogen flame detection

Technical Specifications:

• Response time: 2–5 seconds (typical)
• Detection range (H₂): 40 m (36″ hydrogen flame plume)
• Power supply: 24 VDC (18–32 VDC)
• Outputs: 0–20 mA, HART®, relays (alarm and fault)
• Housing material: Copper-free aluminium or 316 stainless steel
• Certifications: IP66, NEMA 4X, SIL 2, ATEX, IECEx, FM
• Operating temperature: -76°C to +85°C

Typical Applications:

• Hydrogen production and storage
• Safety monitoring at hydrogen refueling stations
• Hydrogen-powered trains, buses, and ships
• Hydrogen compressors and generators
• Petrochemical industry
• Pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and aerospace sectors
• Fertilizer and refrigeration production
