K-Detect-iON Flammable Gas Sensor KD-FLAM-GAS
K-Detect-iON Flammable Gas Calibration-Free Sensing, Ideal for use in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) - KD-FLAM-GAS - Kentec
KD-FLAM-GAS - K-Detect-iON Hydrogen and other Flammable Gas Calibration-Free Sensing for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
K-Detect-iON is a high-sensitivity, calibration-free gas sensor designed to work seamlessly with Kentec’s fire detection and extinguishing control panels. It monitors for the presence of hydrogen and other flammable gases released during battery degradation or failure, providing early warning before heat, smoke, or flame is present.
Ideal for use in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and enclosed technical environments like Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) rooms. K-Detect-iON enables proactive action to reduce risk and prevent escalation. The sensor includes three relay outputs: two for gas concentration thresholds and one for fault indication. These outputs support coordinated system responses such as venting, shutdown, or escalation, helping operators act quickly and effectively.
Compact and robust, K-Detect-iON is easy to install and requires no recalibration throughout its 10+ year lifespan—minimising maintenance while ensuring long-term reliability. By detecting the release of explosive gases at an early stage, the sensor plays a vital role in protecting lives, preserving infrastructure, and supporting safety compliance in high-risk environments.
