Enhancing Safety in Hydrogen Systems with Honeywell's HLD Series
Key Ideas
  • Honeywell introduces the Hydrogen Leak Detector (HLD) Sensor to improve safety in hydrogen powered systems.
  • The sensor features a compensation algorithm and Thermal Conductivity Detection (TCD) technology for accurate hydrogen leak detection.
  • Designed for various industries, the HLD sensor operates for up to ten years without manual intervention, detecting hydrogen leaks as low as 50 PPM.
Honeywell has unveiled its latest safety sensor, the Hydrogen Leak Detector, aimed at enhancing the safety of hydrogen powered systems. Despite advancements in hydrogen fuel cell technology, safety remains a top priority due to past incidents highlighting safety challenges. The importance of reliable hydrogen detection systems is crucial to prevent safety incidents and facilitate the safe integration of hydrogen technology across different industries. The Hydrogen Leak Detector (HLD) Sensor utilizes Honeywell's compensation algorithm and Thermal Conductivity Detection (TCD) technology to detect hydrogen leaks in various applications. This sensor is capable of detecting hydrogen leaks as low as 50 parts per million (PPM) and can operate for up to ten years without requiring manual intervention. It is utilized in automotive, industrial safety, and residential power applications. The Honeywell Hydrogen Leak Detector measures hydrogen concentration in ppm levels within clean-air environments and functions effectively across a range of temperatures and humidity levels. Typically, the HLD sensor is positioned near hydrogen storage tanks, gas piping, fuel cells, or vehicle cabins to ensure prompt detection of any leaks. This advancement in safety technology by Honeywell underscores the commitment to enhancing safety measures in hydrogen systems and supporting the wider adoption of hydrogen technology in various sectors.
