Honeywell launches maintenance-free hydrogen leak detector for energy systems

Leak detection is challenging since hydrogen is colourless, odourless, highly combustible, and diffuses quickly.

Honeywell has developed a new Hydrogen Leak Detector (HLD) solution that can detect minuscule hydrogen leaks in real time, ensuring the safety of hydrogen-powered systems. The sensor can accurately detect leakage as little as 50 parts per million thanks to its sophisticated thermal conductivity detection technology. Leak detection is challenging since hydrogen is colourless, odourless, highly combustible, and diffuses quickly. Operators can now prevent leaks before they become serious safety hazards thanks to Honeywell’s innovative detection technology. Honeywell's HLD sensor, designed to operate without manual intervention, can operate without calibration for 10 ye
