H2scan Signs Agreement with EnviroGuard to Expand Market Presence in Battery Room Safety

H2scan and EnviroGuard announced they have signed a  distribution agreement for North America and will work together to expand the market for H2scan HY-ALERTA 5021 hydrogen sensors in battery room safety applications.

Lead-acid and nickel-cadmium battery technologies are commonly used in battery rooms and can emit hydrogen, which is a highly flammable gas. Fire codes mandate that battery room operators have a hazardous mitigation plan to keep hydrogen levels under 1% of total room volume.

EnviroGuard will incorporate the HY-ALERTA 5021 into its solutions for battery safety solving the maintenance and replacement issues that have been an issue for monitoring hydrogen in battery rooms and enclosures. 

For the purposes of the Battcon conference, EnviroGuard has built a small-scale replica of one of the EnviroGuard rack and enclosure system solutions to display the complete system with hydrogen monitoring installed.

“This new and improved self-calibrating hydrogen system has become  most popular in utility applications, data centers and telecommunication applications,” said Doug Frazier, CEO of EnviroGuard.

“Living in an on-demand world means growth in battery rooms to ensure reliable power and we are tapping the expertise of EnviroGuard to help us to bring hydrogen safety equipment to this market and stay ahead of market growth,” said Jeff Donato, H2scan Sales Director for Safety Products.
