Hydrogen-Ready Sensors will Help Engineers Set New Benchmarks for Net-Zero Energy Generation
A new whitepaper has revealed the critical role that Piezocryst by HBK’s single-crystalline gallium phosphate sensors will play in hydrogen-powered gas turbines – and the world’s pursuit of net-zero emissions. Hydrogen combustion holds enormous potential for net-zero energy generation. But, as adoption grows, the industry is beginning to recognize that it comes with unprecedented measurement challenges. High flame propagation speeds and temperatures make accurate, precise, stable measurement of critical pressure, safety, and performance data almost impossible with conventional sensors. ‘Mastering Combustion of Novel Fuels: Why Piezocryst’s Direct Measurement Expertise Sets a New Standard’ explores these challenges – and how Piezocryst by HBK’s unique sensor technology delivers new levels of performance and resilience in these exceptionally challenging environments. The whitepaper presents data and insights that demonstrate the superior performance of Piezocryst by HBK sensors in these critical applications. The direct measurement solution is built around gallium phosphate (GaPO4), a single-crystalline piezoelectric material that captures high-fidelity pressure signals in the harshest environments. The whitepaper also features results from a 100-h endurance test in a 100% hydrogen atmosphere at 500°C. These tests confirmed the sensors’ ability to maintain stable pressure sensitivity, high insulation resistance, and no structural degradation. By sharing this research through the whitepaper, HBK aims to equip engineering leaders, system designers, and researchers with the insight needed to design safer, smarter, and more sustainable combustion systems. With Piezocryst by HBK sensors integrated into their systems, they will be able to act confidently, innovate rapidly, and maintain the highest standards as they break new ground in hydrogen-powered energy generation.
