Hydrogen gas detector

Fixed hydrogen detector for battery and UPS rooms, electrolysers and fuel-cell enclosures. Round Ex d head with screwed lid, lid tag, LED and side gland; catalytic sinter or MEMS sensor with PTFE membrane pointing down, inside a hollow collector cone with calibration spout to catch rising lighter-than-air gas. mount ceiling hangs it from a beam clamp and drop rod on a stainless angle bracket (origin on the ceiling); wall puts it on a wall plate near the ceiling.

Installation

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add hydrogen-detector

Copies safety/hydrogen-detector.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.

Usage

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { HydrogenDetector } from './components/deck-twin/safety/hydrogen-detector'

export default function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
      <Stage>
        <HydrogenDetector />
      </Stage>
      <OrbitControls makeDefault />
    </Canvas>
  )
}

P&ID

P&ID symbol for hydrogen-detector

F&G or HVAC layout: a gas-detector symbol with H2 written beside it, placed at the ceiling high point of battery rooms, UPS rooms and electrolyser enclosures; on C&E charts an AT bubble with the % LEL set points.

tag GDHtag GDISA ATF&G layout convention (NFPA 170 / ISO 7240-style plan symbols; legends vary by company)

Hydrogen detectors sit at ceiling level (H2 is lighter than air); hydrocarbon point detectors in process areas are usually lower.

For agents

Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info hydrogen-detector

Or fetch /r/hydrogen-detector.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:

Add the Deck Twin "Hydrogen gas detector" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add hydrogen-detector` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info hydrogen-detector` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <HydrogenDetector /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
