CROSS-CELL LEAK DETECTION AND SAMPLE CONDITIONING SYSTEM

A system and method for detecting and conditioning cross-leaks in the operation of electrolysis systems includes a separator configured to separate the fluid into a first stream and a second stream; a heat exchanger configured to lower a temperature of the first stream to form a condensed liquid within the first stream via condensation; a trap system configured to drain the condensed liquid out of a lower outlet of the trap system and transfer a gas composition within the first stream out of an upper outlet of the trap system; a flow control and metering system configured to reduce a pressure of the first stream such that additional liquid is formed and removed from the first stream due to a pressure drop, therein providing a conditioned gas in the first stream; and a gas sensor configured to measure the conditioned gas in the first stream.
