Honeywell reveals real -time -kleck detector for increased security -Asian -Pacific

Honeywell announced a new solution for hydrogen and leak detector (HLD), which was specially developed to identify microscopic hydrogen leaks in real time to ensure the safety of hydrogen drive systems.

By using the thermal conductivity detection technology from Honeywell, the new HLD sensor from Honeywell can reliably identify tiny hydrogen leaks of 50 parts per million.

As with other forms of energy, the management of the safety risks of hydrogen companies is of crucial importance. Hydrogen is colorless, odorless, high -fluid and quickly diffuse, which makes a leak difficult to grasp and it enables the gas to easily escape a storage tank or pipe through seals and connections, which creates the risk of fires and explosions. With the introduction of Honeywell's new recording technology, the operators can now intervene early and set a leak before it becomes a significant security risk.
“Hydrogen has enormous potential to supply our global infrastructure with electricity, but it must surely have to be done with certainty,” said Moin Shafai, Chief Technology Officer from Honeywell Sensing Solutions. “Through innovations in leak recognition technologies, Honeywell contributes to the fact that hydrogen -powered systems and the people who operate them as global demand continue to grow.”
BWR Innovations is an early use of Honeywell's HLD solution that uses the new technology to further improve security because it modernizes the energy infrastructure with industrial hydrogen solutions. The company's oncore energy system, a versatile hydrogen fuel cell generator for home and commercial applications, has the HLD sensors from Honeywell.

“The integration of the HLD sensor from Honeywell into our oncore energy system offers us reliable leak detection, which increases the operational safety for our system with hydrogen companies and enables continuous monitoring of our equipment in real time,” said Adam Jorgenson, Chief Operating Officer at BWR Innovations.

Since hydrogen helps to operate critical infrastructures such as building equipment, residential companies, high -performance trucks and buses, the global demand is growing quickly. According to a report by the hydrogen council, around 90,000 vehicles for hydrogen fuel cells worldwide were on the streets in 2024, compared to 14 percent compared to 2023.

In contrast to other hydrogen detection technologies that require frequent calibration, the HLD sensor from Honeywell is designed in such a way that it is operated without regular manual interventions. If the HLD sensor is installed in addition to a hydrogen bearing tank, gas plaice, fuel cell or vehicle cabin, it does not have to be set for 10 years or manually calibrated.

With less necessary maintenance, the operators can avoid downtime of devices and minimize labor costs in critical sectors such as construction, electricity generation, soil shipping and air transport.
