Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022189354A1] The invention relates to a device for ascertaining a hydrogen concentration or hydrogen mixture concentration, having: an electric conductor assembly (2, 200, 300) which is designed such that it can be brought into contact with the hydrogen or hydrogen mixture and which is in the form of a voltage divider with two elements (21, 221, 321, 521, 22, 222, 322), wherein the first element is a first conductor (21, 221, 321) which, at least in a current-conducting state, has a resistance value that differs from that of the second element (22, 222, 322); a measuring bridge (4, 240, 340) with two voltage dividers connected in parallel, one of said voltage dividers being formed by the electric conductor assembly (2, 200, 300); an actuation unit (6) for applying an AC voltage (U0) to the measuring bridge (4, 240, 340); a voltage measuring unit (8) for measuring a bridge voltage (Ub); and an analysis unit (10) which is configured to ascertain the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen or hydrogen mixture by analyzing the bridge voltage (Ub) using the 3-omega method.
