GENERAL WAREHOUSE / FORKLIFTS
BATTERY CHARGING / DATA CENTERS
Hydrogen is a common gas present in any atmosphere where battery charging exists.
Golf cart charging/storage facilities with forklifts have become a popular application
due to the volatile nature of Hydrogen gas.
Data centers are also using Hydrogen as a footprint to replace greenhouses
gases that in the past were produced at much higher levels.
The Uniform Fire Code, International Fire Code allows Hydrogen
levels at 1% by volume or 25% of the lower explosion limit
(LEL).

Warehouses are a busy place with personnel and forklifts. Whether gas powered or
battery powered, gases are present. Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen Dioxide are
present due to vehicle exhaust and Hydrogen gas can be present due to the
charging of the forklift batteries.
Fixed gas detection is present in these applications for the safety of
employees and the prevention of loss of goods due to explosions
from Hydrogen.
