Beyond the Battery: CAN Thermocouple Applications from Cryogenics to Combustion
Battery development has driven much of the recent demand for isolated, multi-channel temperature measurement, but the CAN thermocouple is far from a single-industry tool. Wherever...
The Pressure Detection Sensor: From Barometric Reference to Safety-Critical Alarm
Pressure is one of the oldest quantities in engineering measurement, and pressure sensors are among the most widely used devices in any vehicle or industrial...
Absolute or Gauge? Specifying a Pressure Sensor for Battery Pack Monitoring
Adding a pressure sensor to a battery pack is one of the most effective ways to detect cell venting early. But the benefit depends heavily...
Pressure Sensor Battery Pack Monitoring: Detecting Cell Venting Before Thermal Runaway
Every lithium-ion cell has a safety vent. When gas builds up inside the cell during a fault, the vent opens to release it before the...
The VOC Detector as an Early-Warning System for Lithium-Ion Thermal Runaway
When a lithium-ion cell begins to fail, it does not burst into flames without warning. It first starts to break down chemically, and one of...
What Makes a Good VOC Detector for Battery Packs and Energy Storage?
The case for adding a VOC detector to a battery pack or energy storage system is now well established. When lithium-ion cells begin to fail,...
Why Gas Measurement Instruments Are Becoming the First Line of Defence in Battery Safety
For most of the history of the lithium-ion battery, safety monitoring has meant two things: voltage and temperature. The battery management system watches every cell,...
Vehicle Tech Is Only as Good as Its Data
Talk about vehicle tech today and the conversation quickly turns to software. Over-the-air updates, centralised computing, driver assistance, autonomy and connected services dominate the headlines....
VOC Detection sensor in Battery Energy Storage Systems: Safeguarding Grid-Scale and Second-Life Assets
Battery Energy Storage Systems are being deployed at a scale that would have seemed implausible a decade ago, from grid-balancing installations measured in hundreds of...
