More Information
Summary:Provided is a method of testing for a leak in a fluid system. The method includes submerging at least a portion of an electrically conductive body in an electrolyte solution, with the electrically conductive body and electrolyte solution being in an internal chamber of a device. The method further includes directing an electrical signal to the electrically conductive body, causing a reaction between the electrically conductive body and the electrolyte solution to produce hydrogen. The method further includes injecting the hydrogen into the fluid system for leak detection.
