Xtralis has announced the release of its Li-ion Tamer Lithium Ion Battery Rack Monitoring system for efficient gas leak detection in the market.
Li-ion Tamer Rack Monitor system
The Li-ion Tamer Rack Monitor system can provide an alert to ‘off- gas’ events that occur early in the failure mode of li-ion batteries, well in advance of smoke detection and traditional LFL gas detection. Early warning of off-gas events enable proper mitigation steps to be taken to avoid progression to a catastrophic thermal runaway failure.
The Li-ion Tamer Rack Monitor system requires minimal operation and maintenance procedures as the off-gas sensors are designed to be calibration-free and have comparable lifetime to that of the ESS battery system.
Off-gas sensors
The off-gas sensors can be easily deployed throughout the space and detect failures without electrical or mechanical contact of battery cells. Sensor response can be easily verified with a bump test kit without the need of specialized gas test equipment and test gases.
The Li-ion Tamer Battery Rack Monitor system provides an essential early warning signal that is used to integrate with other safety systems to initiate appropriate response processes to reduce the risk from thermal runaway.
