Honeywell releases hydrogen leak detection sensor

Honeywell has released a new safety sensor, the Hydrogen Leak Detector (HLD), which is specifically engineered for hydrogen-powered systems including automotive.

The company said,

Although there have been advancements in hydrogen fuel cell technology, maintaining operational safety remains an utmost concern,

“Historical incidents involving hydrogen leaks have highlighted substantial safety risks, underscoring the necessity for dependable hydrogen detection technologies.”

Using hydrogen gas poses safety risks as it is colorless, odorless, highly flammable and rapidly diffused. Without adequate monitoring, leaks can easily be undetected, resulting in fires, explosions and operational hazards.

The HLD sensor uses Honeywell’s compensation algorithm to detect hydrogen leaks in different applications. It uses thermal conductivity detection (TCD) technology to identify hydrogen leakage at levels as low as 50 ppm.
