Metis Engineering – Launch Of Advanced Hydrogen Leak Detection Sensor For Unparalleled Safety In Battery Energy Storage Systems

Metis Engineering, a leader in battery safety and monitoring innovations, proudly announces the launch of its latest breakthrough: Cell Guard with Hydrogen. This new sensor, a sophisticated evolution of the original Cell Guard, is expertly engineered to detect hydrogen (H₂) in energy storage systems, offering essential safety enhancements for hydrogen-based applications and battery packs alike.

Why is Hydrogen Dangerous? In air hydrogen has a wide flammability limit from 4 to 77% by volume and an explosive limit from 18 to 59%. The activation energy for ignition is extremely low and can be triggered by a very small spark or static discharge. Hydrogen is an odourless, colourless gas and can go undetected without specialised technology.

Early detection of hydrogen leaks is critical to maintaining safety across the hydrogen lifecycle—from production to storage, transport, usage in fuel cells and H2 ICE. With applications spanning transport, marine, aviation, and industrial sectors, Metis Engineering’s new sensor meets this critical need, creating new benchmarks for safety in hydrogen technologies.

The latest hydrogen detection sensor addresses key safety needs with innovative, high-performance features, advancing on the foundation of the original Cell Guard sensor:

Joe Holdsworth, CEO of Metis Engineering, said :

We’re excited to introduce this advanced sensor, addressing critical safety concerns in hydrogen storage and battery management systems,

“Our aim is to equip customers with forward-thinking solutions that elevate safety and enhance the resilience of their energy storage infrastructure.”

The new hydrogen leak detection sensor is now open for pre-orders, with deliveries from 11th October 2024. For further information on this product or integration possibilities, please contact [email protected].
