Can pneumatic diaphragm control valves use nitrogen or hydrogen as the gas source?
Hydrogen is too dangerous; nitrogen works, but the cost is high.
I’ve heard of using nitrogen; hydrogen definitely won’t work
Instrument air and nitrogen are acceptable; hydrogen is too dangerous and too expensive
They’re available in nuclear power plants; that’s awesome: lol
Compressed air is generally used; nitrogen can be used as well, though it is more expensive, while hydrogen is not suitable due to the risks it poses
Nitrogen is too expensive, and hydrogen is too dangerous
No, nitrogen can cause suffocation, and hydrogen is prone to explosion.
Nitrogen is used to prevent the film from oxidizing; as for hydrogen, the reason is unknown. :)
Nitrogen is useful; hydrogen cannot be used as it is too dangerous.
