Metis Engineering, a leader in battery safety and monitoring innovations, has introduced a new hydrogen leak detection sensor, Cell Guard with Hydrogen. This advanced sensor offers unparalleled safety features for hydrogen-based applications and battery packs.
Why is Hydrogen Dangerous?
Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas with a wide flammability range and low ignition energy. It is colorless, odorless, and can go undetected without specialized technology. Early detection of hydrogen leaks is crucial to prevent fires, explosions, and other safety hazards.
Metis Engineering’s New Hydrogen Leak Detection Sensor
The Cell Guard with Hydrogen sensor is designed to address key safety needs in hydrogen storage and battery systems. Key features include:
- Reliable hydrogen detection: Accurately detects even trace hydrogen leaks.
- Electrolysis detection: Identifies early signs of hydrogen generation caused by moisture ingress in fuel cells and battery packs.
- High-VOC environment compatibility: Operates effectively in environments with high levels of volatile organic compounds.
- Wide temperature range: Functions reliably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.
- Ultra-low power consumption: Ensures continuous monitoring with minimal energy drain.
- Instantaneous measurement: Provides immediate hydrogen measurements upon startup.
- Wide detection range: Accurately measures hydrogen levels from 0% to 20%.
