We typically control these ventillation systems with Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensors, approximately one sensor for every 5,000 to 7,000 sq. ft. and activated to operate the ventilation system when the CO reaches 25 ppm, this helps save energy in multiple ways by not having the ventilation system...
The concern in a battery cahrging application is the production of Hydrogen gas during the charging process. Hydrogen has an LEL/LFL of 4% by volume (40,000 ppm).
We typically control the exhaust fan for these areas with a Hydrogen gas sensor with a measurement range of 50% LEL and set the low...
