The development of reliable hydrogen sensors will facilitate the introduction of hydrogen to the natural gas infrastructure. One of the most promising configurations for such a device is a thin film based fiber optic sensor. We demonstrate that with such a device not only the measurement of a specific threshold partial pressure is possible, but also allows for a quantitative determination of the partial hydrogen pressure measured real-time and in-situ in the gas stream. The changing hydrogen pressure, up to 200 mbar partial pressure, can be measured optically using a Pd-Au alloy thin film. However for the daily use of the sensor in the natural gas infrastructure it is important to determine the hydrogen sensing abilities under non-ideal conditions i.e. in gas mixtures containing high concentrations of CH4, C2H6, and C3H8. It is found that, the type of carrier gas (i.e. Ar (clean-conditions), CH4, C2H6, and C3H8) has hardly any influence on the measured hydrogen concentration and switching kinetics of the sensor. The sensor response times (hydrogenation kinetics) are comparable to those for clean H-2 flows. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
