The Battery Safety Electrolyte Sensor (BES) is an automotive-grade sensor designed for early detection of venting and thermal runaway in battery systems. Utilizing an advanced and patented rate of change algorithm, the BES detects battery electrolyte vapor commonly released during the initial venting phase called First Vent, as well as hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases released during a thermal runaway event.
The ability to detect the First Vent provides an essential early warning for potential thermal runaway incidents in Lithium-Ion battery packs. This proactive early detection facilitates timely and appropriate mitigation measures, significantly reducing the risk of thermal runaway. BES employs a patented advanced rate of change algorithm designed to identify significant changes in the concentration of target gases within a sealed battery pack. This innovative method effectively reduces the occurrence of false negatives that may be seen with conventional ppm-based sensors, which focus on precise target gas threshold monitoring. The algorithm is tuned to prevent false positives, improving the end-user experience. Furthermore, the algorithm is supported by more than 12 years of rigorous research and validated through seven years of practical field deployment.
This extensive experience not only enhances the reliability of the detection algorithm but also underscores its effectiveness in real-world applications. BES enhances the safety and reliability of automotive battery systems.

The Hydrogen Leak Detector (HLD) Sensor uses the Honeywell advanced compensation algorithm to detect Hydrogen leaks in different applications. Designed with precision and reliability in mind, the HLD Sensor employs cutting-edge Thermal Conductivity Detection (TCD) technology to deliver lasting performance for many applications that require a highly accurate solution without manual intervention for ten years.
Its advanced detection capabilities ensure the identification of hydrogen leakage of 50 ppm or greater. Honeywell HLD Sensors can be utilized in many industries, such as automotive, industrial safety equipment, and residential power generators.
The incorporation of TCD technology in the HLD sensor offers several key advantages over catalytic beads. These benefits include greater accuracy, extended sensor lifespan, and enhanced resistance to chemical poisoning. With these advantages, the HLD sensor gives users the confidence that both lives and assets are well-protected.
Features:
Applications:
The HLD sensor is typically adjacent to the hydrogen storage tank, hydrogen gas piping, fuel cell, or vehicle cabin.

Cynergy3 has both flowmeters and flow switches amongst its range of measuring instruments.
Cynergy3 manufacture flowmeters and flow switches that can accurately measure liquid volumes ensuring correct dispensing in a wide range of industrial applications. Our ultrasonic flowmeters can be specified to have a range of outputs and are commonly used in hot or cold beverage dispensing providing reliable, safe, consistent results for customers. The flow switch acts on demand to start or stop the flow of liquid avoiding over or under filling.
Coolant flow is another important application where monitoring flow is necessary to keep cooling systems working effectively. Our flow switches can be programmed to automatically manage flow, activating or deactivating pumps as needed to keep flow within the recommended parameters.
