Description:
At weather stations outside of the United States meteorological balloons are usually inflated with hydrogen. At stations remote from large industrial centers it is usually cheaper to generate the hydrogen at the station than to ship it in cylinders from the industrial center. Probably the most common hydrogen generator for station use is of the high pressure chemical style where pressures in excess of 2000 p.s.i. are not uncommon. To reduce the number of serious accidents occurring through the use of these high pressure generators, a low pressure generator with a maximum pressure of 4 p.s.i. has been developed.
