Li-battery Thermal Runaway

Solution for Safety Monitoring of Power Batteries/Hydrogen Energy/Energy Storage Stations

The promotion of new energy is an important way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve the “dual carbon” target, and the safety issues that come with it have become a social concern. Based on a comprehensive gas sensor technology platform, Fosen Electronics provides a complete safety monitoring solution to ensure the safe development of the new energy industry.

Fosen relies on its sophisticated gas sensor technology platform and creatively combines multiple technologies such as NDIR infrared, MEMS process MOx sensors, and laser light scattering to introduce an integrated thermal runaway warning sensor. This sensor can effectively monitor indicators such as CO2, CO, temperature, pressure, and aerosol particles released before the triggering of thermal runaway in lithium batteries, and sends signals through the CAN bus to the battery management system (BMS), playing a reliable role in thermal runaway warning.

Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology is used to measure the concentration of CO2 by detecting the absorption of light at specific wavelengths as it passes through a sample gas. NDIR has several advantages including high accuracy, fast response time, and a long lifespan of up to 15 years.

MEMS sensors can measure CO with minimal impact from temperature and humidity, providing stable detection signals. They can also be extended to detect various gases. Furthermore, the lifespan of the handheld model of this sensor is over 15 years, and it has excellent corrosion resistance to organic silicon gas.

The laser scattering technology with independent intellectual property rights is used to measure PM (particulate matter) and enables accurate, fast, and real-time monitoring. In addition, it has a low power consumption mode.

The module adopts a mature circuit design that meets automotive industry standards and is capable of adapting to harsh in-vehicle environments.

Real-time communication. The protection level can reach IP65.

Hydrogen gas leak detection

FS02501 hydrogen sensor from Fujian Fusheng Electronic Technology is designed to detect hydrogen gas leaks in hydrogen fuel cell engines and hydrogen supply pipe systems, and sends real-time signals to hydrogen leak alarm devices. It can generate a general warning signal when detecting a minor hydrogen gas leak, while triggering a severe warning alarm and automatically shutting off the hydrogen supply in case of a major hydrogen gas leak.
