JUMO to Showcase Hydrogen Measurement Technology at World Expo 2026

At the Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026 in Hamburg, JUMO is presenting its comprehensive system expertise for the global hydrogen economy. Rather than merely offering standalone components, the company focuses on the intelligent interconnection of sensors, automation, evaluation, and engineering. This holistic approach reduces interface complexity for plant operators, shortens project lead times, and improves the scalability of future infrastructures. Precise monitoring of temperature, pressure, humidity, and flow is critical for economic operation—ranging from ultrapure water treatment and electrolysis to utilization in fuel cells.

Certified Safety for Hydrogen Applications
Because hydrogen facilities place the highest demands on explosion protection and plant safety, JUMO is showcasing a broad portfolio of pressure and temperature sensors successfully tested in accordance with CSA ANSI HGV 3.1 for hydrogen fueling systems. Combined with the SIL- and PL-certified solutions of the JUMO Safety Performance brand—such as the multifunctional safety limiter JUMO safetyM TA—a seamless safety concept is created. Additional trade fair highlights include the new JUMO TAROS H48 Ex, the humidity and temperature sensor hydroTRANS H50 for demanding industrial environments, and the high-performance thyristor power controller TYA HL303.

Energy Management for Energy-Intensive Processes
Electrolysis, compression, and cooling of hydrogen are extremely energy-intensive processes that require precise acquisition of energy flows. To reduce grid loads and lower operating costs, JUMO offers ISO 50001-compliant energy management systems tailored individually to large-scale hydrogen projects. According to Rainer Moritz, Renewable Energy Industry Manager at JUMO, the market success of hydrogen depends not only on its availability but crucially on the perfect interplay of reliable measurement data and secure automation technology.

Additional Context: Hydrogen Embrittlement and Electrolysis Power Control
This section details technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original product announcement.

In the hydrogen economy, particularly during compression and refueling at pressures up to 700 bar, extremely small H2 molecules pose an immense material science challenge. They can diffuse into conventional metallic sensor diaphragms and lead to dreaded hydrogen embrittlement, resulting in the total mechanical failure of the sensor. Pressure sensors specially certified under CSA ANSI HGV 3.1 therefore utilize high-alloy austenitic stainless steels (such as 316L) or specialized gold coatings to block this permeation at a microscopic level. Furthermore, high-performance electronic thyristor controllers are indispensable in PEM and alkaline electrolysis. They regulate the massive direct currents required for electrolytic water splitting smoothly and completely wear-free. This not only maximizes the electrical efficiency of the electrolyzer stack but also reduces harmonic distortions that could otherwise destabilize the local power grid.
