Addresses the increasing risk of fires and explosions in battery storage facilities
Thermal runaway, a self-accelerating and uncontrollable rise in temperature that could lead to fires or explosions, is a potential threat in lithium-ion batteries. It can be triggered by overcharging, physical damage, overheating or short-circuiting but with early detection and intervention the risks are reduced.
James Cross, Head of Industry Management at AMETEK Land said: “With the growing prevalence and energy density of lithium-ion batteries, safety concerns are paramount. Our latest innovation, the LWIR-640 smart radiometric thermal imager offers an advanced solution for the early detection and prevention of thermal runaway in battery storage systems.”
The LWIR-640 thermal imager has been designed and developed by experts over 20 years, resulting in a highly accurate continuous monitoring solution for battery storage. Available in multiple models with a full temperature measurement range of -20 to 1000°C, the LWIR-640 provides versatile solutions that meet the diverse needs of battery storage facilities.
