CatVent - CTL-200
NEAR ZERO WATER LOSS, NEAR ZERO GASSING HYGROSCOPIC CATALYTIC RECOMBINATION VENT FOR FLOODED / VENTED BATTERIES
The principle of hygroscopic absorption is used which eliminates the need for large external condensing surfaces. This allows the CTL-200 - Catalytic Recombination Vent to be efficient while maintaining a low profile.
Safety is important, so the CTL-200 is designed to be intrinsically safe in events of unintended overcharge. A combination of a self-limiting catalytic core and ultra-high temperature materials ensures the catalyst remains safe in all conditions. The CTL-200 catalyst, part of the MicroCAT catalyst range, is specially designed for flooded/vented lead acid (and NiCad) batteries used in reserve power applications.
The CTL-200 efficiently recombines Hydrogen and Oxygen back into water before it leaves the cell. The result is that the battery becomes virtually maintenance-free while hydrogen gas emissions are all but eliminated.
The CTL-200 features a low-pressure, 2-way vent system, which seals the cell, allowing gasses time to be recombined efficiently while providing overpressure and vacuum protection. This turns a standard flooded cell into a (flooded) valve-regulated cell. (Also available without the 2-way pressure regulating valve as CTL-210)

- Over 99% effective in recombining gasses back into water vapor. (93% as CTL-210)
- Utilizes the hygroscopic environment of the cell, not condensation.
- Capable of neutralizing hydrogen sulfide, stibine, arsine and amines.
- Catalyst core designed to limit the rate of recombination which controls the unit temperature to prevent damage.
- Reduction in explosive gas release reduces the ventilation costs.
- Eliminates the risk of adding contaminated water to the cells.
- Testing has shown the capability to safely withstand extended periods of 50 amps of overcurrent gas generation without degradation.
