Cell Guard: Precision Monitoring for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Whilst Lithium-Ion based energy storage is becoming more robust, safety remains paramount. Cell Guard provides real-time monitoring of LFP and NMC battery health, including early detection of cell venting and moisture ingress, dewpoint, pressure changes, shock loads and hydrogen generated by electrolysis within battery packs. Thanks to integrated CAN communication for seamless data transfer, this sensor enables advanced battery management systems to detect potential points of failure before they escalate, thereby enhancing the longevity and safety of energy storage systems. Ideal for electric vehicles, grid storage, Environmental Sensors battery R&D and industrial applications, Cell Guard is the key to predictive battery health management and provides vital information for Battery Passports.
H Guard: Hydrogen Leak Detection for the Future of Clean Energy
As hydrogen emerges as a popular fuel for decarbonisation, leak detection becomes critical to safe operation. H Guard is designed to detect even the smallest traces of hydrogen gas, ensuring early intervention prior to it collecting in explosive concentrations. Whether applied to hydrogen-powered vehicles, fuel cells, or refuelling stations, H Guard provides real-time alerts through CAN-based communication, allowing operators to respond immediately to leaks. Its accuracy and responsiveness make it a vital tool in supporting the growth of the clean hydrogen economy.
Air Wise: Monitoring NOx and CO2 in HVAC and Ventilation Systems
In an era of heightened environmental awareness, air quality monitoring is no longer optional. Air Wise is a high-precision sensor designed to detect NOx and CO2 levels within HVAC systems, ensuring proper ventilation and compliance with emissions regulations. This sensor helps facility managers maintain optimal indoor air quality while also identifying inefficiencies or potential system failures that contribute to excess emissions. With CAN integration, Air Wise enables dynamic, data-driven control of ventilation systems, reducing energy waste and improving environmental sustainability.
- Seamless Integration: CAN-based communication ensures rapid and reliable data exchange with existing systems, simplifying deployment.
- Enhanced Safety: Early detection and rapid alerts prevent costly damage and dangerous incidents.
- Environmental Responsibility: Each sensor supports sustainability goals by enhancing system efficiency and reducing harmful emissions
