Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection put hydrogen detection solutions in the spotlight at a trio of recent events.
Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) made its final preparations for a trio of major energy sector events that took place in Europe and Asia. Visitors to the Teledyne GFD booth at All Energy 2025 in Glasgow (UK, 14-15 May), the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam (Netherlands, 20-22 May), and the World Gas Congress 2025 in Beijing (China, 19-23 May) learned about the advantages of leveraging sector knowledge and solutions developed over decades of empowering safety in power generation. A key focus at these events was Teledyne GFD's expertise and technologies in hydrogen detection. At All-Energy 2025, the UK's largest low-carbon energy and renewables event, Teledyne GFD highlighted hydrogen as a critical area, especially regarding grid integration and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The company explained how hydrogen can be produced in BESS systems during battery charging and discharging, or if a fault leads to thermal runaway—a process that can result in fire but can be contained with the right detection technology. On stand B39, Teledyne GFD showcased four main technologies: The newly introduced Spyglass™ Xtend triple-infrared flame detector, which simultaneously detected hydrogen and hydrocarbon fires, improving safety in environments where hydrogen flames could spread to other systems. The detector featured integrated high-definition CCTV for clear imaging of fuel fires and a near-IR video option for hydrogen and methanol fires, making it suitable for BESS applications. The proven GD10P infrared gas detector. The GS700-Hydrogen, a high-performance, flexible instrument capable of detecting both hydrogen and natural gas. This portable, ATEX-certified device simplified leak detection and other applications, helping utilities quickly identify gas leaks and reduce unnecessary costs. Teledyne GDCloud™, a new cloud solution that enhanced gas detection measurement by recording hazardous events, visualizing sensor readings, and mapping technician routes for improved regulatory compliance and safety program efficiency. These four technologies were also featured at the World Hydrogen Summit 2025, where Teledyne GFD was present at booth A93. The company's expertise in hydrogen was further recognized with an invitation to deliver a presentation titled 'Regulatory Framework and Compliance along the Hydrogen Value Chain.' At the World Gas Congress 2025, a flagship event held every three years, Teledyne GFD presented the same technologies at booth Z12 in hall D. Local experts were available to discuss current and future gas detection challenges with attendees. Demonstrating its global reach, Teledyne GFD also exhibited at two events in the United States during May: the American Gas Association (AGA) 2025 in Aurora, Colorado, and the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2025 in Houston, Texas.

NEW FLAME DETECTOR IS IDEAL FOR BOTH H2 AND HC FIRES - Middle East Business News and Information
Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) has released its Spyglass™ Xtend triple-infrared flame detector, a notable industry advance that offers the simultaneous detection of both hydrogen (H2) and hydrocarbon (HC) fires. This important innovation boosts safety in dense industrial environments where hydrogen flames can spread to other equipment and start fires involving hydrocarbon fuels that are invisible to an H 2 -only detector. The combined detection of both hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames arrives courtesy of Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection's triple-infrared technology. Where industrial spaces are highly populated with machines, equipment, tools, stored goods and many other common workplace items, a hydrogen flame can spread and trigger a fire involving hydrocarbon fuels. It is here that Spyglass™ Xtend is able to provide a crucial safety net. Take the example of detecting hydrogen flames using an H 2 -only detector and prompting a subsequent safety action to interrupt the hydrogen supply and extinguish the flame. It would be easy to think the emergency is over, but any already burning hydrocarbon fires will persist. An H 2 detector cannot detect HC flames. With its integral triple-infrared technology – paired with a unique algorithm – the new Spyglass™ Xtend flame detector supports an enhanced safety strategy by detecting both hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames simultaneously. Five selectable sensitivity levels are available. 'Users of our Spyglass™ Xtend can take advantage of a considerably longer detection range, while response times are much faster compared with existing UV/IR technology,' explains Régis PRÉVOST, Product Line Manager at Teledyne GFD. 'The result? Earlier detection of hydrogen and/or hydrocarbon flames, protecting workers and minimising damage to your premises and assets. It's also worth pointing out that the hydrogen flame detection performance of the Spyglass™ Xtend matches that of our existing Spyglass™ IR3-H 2 , which is dedicated solely to hydrogen.' The new triple-infrared technology ensures perfect immunity against false alarms or untimely faults due to sun glare or heavy rain, guaranteeing reliable operation in outdoor environments. Further supporting outside use, heated optics prevent condensation and frosting, while users can ensure nominal detector performance by undertaking automatic or manual self-tests that check the optics are clean. The stainless steel enclosure carries IP66/68 and NEMA 4X/6 ingress protection ratings. Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection's Spyglass™ Xtend offers a number of universal current outputs, including analogue 4-20 mA, sink or source, alarm and fault, while an optional HART® 7 digital output supports easy configuration and diagnostic capability for preventive maintenance strategies. The new flame detector carries Safety Integrity Level (SIL 2), ATEX, IECEX and usFMc certifications. Any dense industrial settings looking to boost safety credentials and provide greater worker and asset protection will find that the new Spyglass™ Xtend stands up to scrutiny with its simultaneous, fast and reliable detection of both hydrogen and hydrocarbon flames. Two versions are available: with or without on-board HD video output. The HD video option offers real-time monitoring of the area and automatic video recording during alarms for detailed post-event analysis.
