Products suitable for environments with a risk of explosion are used in a wide range of applications. Since 1988, KELLER has been developing and manufacturing explosion-proof pressure measurement technology. Based on years of experience and achievements, KELLER's explosion-proof pressure sensors have received high praise in many industries. Examples of applications (one example each): - Automotive sector: Painting robots When atomized by a spray nozzle, the mist can generate a flammable mixture. - Oil sector: Monitoring fuel levels at gas stations At gas stations, there is a risk of gas atmospheres exploding due to electrical sparks. - Aviation industry: De-icing machine liquids De-icing fluids contain more than 50% highly flammable glycols and are used in a mixture with water. - Chemical industry: Monitoring the storage conditions of chemicals Warehouses owned by chemical manufacturers and distributors store numerous containers of various chemicals, which may contain all kinds of explosive and hazardous substances.

There is always a risk of explosion in areas where flammable gases, vapors, mists, or dust may be present. Examples include the chemical industry, energy supply, biogas plants, solvent processing facilities, hydrogen infrastructure, and gas distribution systems. An important point to understand about explosion protection is the location of the measurement point within the zones. A common misconception is that if flammable gas is used, the highest hazard classification automatically applies; however, the frequency of explosive atmospheres can vary significantly from one industrial plant to another. For instance, explosive mixtures may always be present inside a tank, while they rarely occur in well-ventilated piping areas, typically only during abnormal situations. This is precisely why ATEX systems classify zones as 0, 1, and 2. The related links below provide detailed explanations of the basic principles of ATEX zones, real-life examples from hydrogen filling stations, comparisons of protection concepts (why safety barriers or isolation amplifiers are necessary), and what types of pressure sensors we at KELLER can offer for each zone.

Keller's pressure sensors play a crucial role in hydrogen engine-equipped racing cars. This is because extremely high precision and reliability are essential in hydrogen systems within motorsports. Keller's pressure sensors are used in fuel cell powertrains, supporting the precise monitoring and control of hydrogen and air circuits under harsh high-performance conditions. 〇 Hydrogen Loop Keller's pressure sensors monitor the flow of hydrogen within the fuel cell by measuring optimal pressure levels, contributing to the realization of efficient electrochemical reactions. 〇 Air Loop Accurate pressure measurement is essential for the optimal management of oxygen supply, which directly affects the efficiency and output of the fuel cell. 〇 High-Pressure Hydrogen Line Keller's pressure sensors are widely adopted in high-pressure hydrogen lines, as well as in hydrogen-powered test benches and onboard storage systems. In motorsports, reliability is paramount in a world where every second counts. Additionally, components that can withstand extreme pressures and rapid changes in load under harsh conditions are indispensable. Using Keller products, which boast the highest standards of precision and reliability and are made in Switzerland, is a testament to a deep commitment to quality.

Hydrogen poses a risk of leakage due to its status as the smallest molecule on Earth, which can lead to permeation. It also has highly flammable properties when exposed to air. Therefore, it is crucial to prevent leaks from hydrogen tanks or to detect them early. Keller's pressure sensors are used for leak testing in hydrogen fuel cells. The hydrogen fuel cell has three channels: one for air (oxygen), one for hydrogen, and one for cooling. Nitrogen is used first, followed by hydrogen, to detect leaks within the system. The pressure values at the inlet and outlet of the fuel cell are continuously recorded and displayed on the screen in real-time, allowing for ongoing monitoring. A drop in pressure indicates a leak in one of the three flow paths. Keller's pressure sensors have high accuracy, enabling them to detect leaks even in small areas that are not sealed, ensuring the safe use of fuel cells.
