DESCRIPTION
The VICI DBS PG Plus hydrogen generators offer the optimum combination of safe operation, reliability and performance.
®
Designed as a hazard free alternative to high pressure cylinders, all that is required is deionized water and a standard
electrical supply for weeks of continuous operation.
Utilizing the VICI DBS proprietary prepared field proven PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) incorporated inside a 100%
titanium cell provides superior generator performance and cell life. The unique high pressure permeation membrane
drying system eliminates the requirement for desiccant cartridges along with the associated downtime and cost. Innovative
software control allows unrivaled operational performance and safety as well as the additional options of auto water feed,
remote networking and cascading for built in redundancy.
With a maximum output capacity of 600 mL/min, one generator can supply up to 14 GCs. The compact design allows the
generator to be installed directly in the laboratory eliminating the requirement for long gas lines and guaranteeing the
delivery of high purity gas to your GC.
A sophisticated control system connected to a touch screen continuously monitors vital operating parameters to ensure
safe and consistent performance. Built in sensors will shut the generator down if internal/external leaks are present,
contaminated water, low water or over pressure. This is why the VICI DBS generators meet the strict safety guidelines to be
certified for CE, FCC, MET (UL and CSA compliant).

OPERATING DIAGRAM
Hydrogen is produced from the hydrolysis
of deionized water across a PEM (proton
exchange membrane), housed in a 100%
titanium cell. The resultant hydrogen
is dried via a dual stage process, a gas
liquid separator and a unique dual high
performance membrane dryer. In addition
to water all that the generator requires is a
standard connection and supply of electricity
for a continuous 24/7 supply of high purity
hydrogen. Consumable items are limited to
the replacement of a deionizer bag every 6
months.
