Protect Your People, Protect Your Profits, Prevent Battery Fires
29 August 2024
The burgeoning adoption of lithium-ion batteries across industries has ushered in a new era of energy efficiency.
However, this technological advancement comes with a significant caveat: the heightened risk of thermal runaway and subsequent fires.Battery Storage FacilityAt AMETEK Land, we're committed to safeguarding lives and assets by offering cutting-edge solutions to mitigate these dangers. Our latest innovation, the LWIR-640 smart radiometric thermal imager, is a testament to our dedication to safety and performance.
Understanding the Threat
Thermal runaway, a catastrophic chain reaction within a battery, can be triggered by various factors, including overcharging, physical damage, overheating, or short circuits. The speed at which this process escalates underscores the critical need for early detection.
Left unchecked, thermal runaway can lead to devastating fires and explosions, posing severe risks to personnel, property, and the environment.
The LWIR-640: Your Battery's Early Warning System
Our LWIR-640 thermal imager offers a robust defence against these perils. By continuously monitoring battery installations, it provides real-time insights into their thermal behaviour.
This advanced technology excels at identifying the subtle signs of impending disaster, such as abnormal heat distributions, hot spots, and temperature differentials.
Early Detection: The LWIR-640's precision of ±2°C ensures that even minor temperature fluctuations are flagged, granting operators precious time to intervene.
Proactive Measures: Once an anomaly is detected, operators can swiftly initiate countermeasures like isolating affected cells, adjusting cooling systems, or replacing faulty components.
Continuous Vigilance: The LWIR-640 operates tirelessly, providing 24/7 surveillance to safeguard your battery storage facility.
Integration and Analysis: With onboard web server capabilities and compatibility with IMAGEPro software, the LWIR-640 seamlessly integrates into existing systems and enables comprehensive data analysis for post-incident learning and prevention strategy refinement.
A Comprehensive Approach to Safety
AMETEK Land's commitment to fire prevention extends beyond the LWIR-640. Our portfolio includes solutions tailored to various industrial settings, such as the HotSpotIR 9000 for conveyor systems, Silowatch for storage silos, and Millwatch for pulverisers.
