Application: Lithium ion battery gas and optical detector (Patent ID: US20240204285A1)
The patent filed by Raytheon Technologies Corp. describes a system for detecting gas leakage and fire events within a battery pack. The system includes a controller, a gas detector, and an infrared detector that communicate to detect gas concentration and infrared radiation levels. The controller triggers alarm levels based on the readings, allowing for emergency response procedures to be implemented accordingly.
The system comprises multiple claims detailing the components and functions of the gas and flame detection system. These claims include the use of gas detectors to sense H2 and CO gases, the mounting of detectors on a port for access to the battery module, and the controller's ability to output different alarm levels based on gas concentration and infrared radiation levels. Additionally, the method outlined in the patent involves sensing gas concentrations and infrared radiation levels, generating alarm signals, and implementing actions such as turning off cells or releasing cooling agents based on the detected alarm levels.
