Honeywell has unveiled a new Hydrogen Leak Detector (HLD) solution designed to detect microscopic hydrogen leaks in real-time and enhance the safety of hydrogen-powered systems. The HLD sensor, equipped with Thermal Conductivity Detection technology, can identify hydrogen leaks as small as 50 parts per million, enabling early intervention to prevent safety risks. Moin Shafai, Honeywell Sensing Solutions' chief technology officer, emphasized the importance of safety in harnessing hydrogen's potential for global infrastructure. BWR Innovations, an early adopter, has integrated Honeywell's HLD sensor into their Oncore Energy System, ensuring operational safety for their hydrogen fuel cell generators. The growing global demand for hydrogen is evident in the rise of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, with 90,000 vehicles on the roads in 2024, according to the Hydrogen Council. Honeywell's HLD sensor stands out for its low maintenance requirements, operating without manual calibration for a decade, reducing downtime and labor costs in various sectors. This innovation in leak detection technology by Honeywell is a step towards securing hydrogen-powered systems and supporting the expansion of hydrogen as a clean energy source.
