HYTING’s Hydrogen-to-Heat Technology Successfully Completes 2,500-Hour Durability Testing Milestone
HYTING has proven the exceptional reliability of its hydrogen heat generator by successfully passing 2,500 hours of durability testing conducted by one of the world’s leading engineering service providers
Hydrogen heating technology company HYTING has successfully completed a 2,500-hour durability test programme on its 10kW heat generator – the HG10. Testing began in January this year and finished in July: the 2,500 hours of operation logged in the laboratory during this period represents 10-years of heating in real-world use.
No problems or failures occurred during the test programme, and subsequent stripdown and inspection of the unit showed no significant wear on any components, and none at all on any safety-critical parts. The HG10’s proprietary flameless, catalytic process efficiently generates heat with no CO2, NOx or particulate matter emissions, and this was validated by continuous measurement of exhaust gas quality.
Tim Hannig, Founder and Managing Director HYTING, said: “The results of these third-party durability tests demonstrate the inherently long life and low maintenance requirements we’ve designed into our hydrogen heat generators. As well as proving their exceptional reliability, they’ve also proven their emissions-free capability, and that’s why we believe that our hydrogen technology can play a major role in helping to decarbonise the heating sector.”
The HYTING HG10 is part of the firm’s modular range spanning 10 - 50kW ratings per unit (a 150kW unit is planned for 2026). These are ideal for space heating of industrial and commercial buildings - especially for peak heating, and are equally well-suited for industrial process heating of up to 300°C, as well as mobility heating.
The 2,500-hour durability testing is latest key milestone in HYTING’s industrialisation roadmap and follows the establishment of a strategic development partnership with ebm-papst, a manufacturing partnership with Kampmann, securing a first customer – Flusys, and achieving Gas Appliance Regulation (GAR) certification, which means the heat generators are fully certified for field test operation in the European market.
