In the BESS application each sample pipe extends from the FDA detector to monitor specific areas of interest. It is key to mount the pipe/sample holes where the smoke and off-gas particles will appear. This is largely dependent on battery enclosure geometry and HVAC airflow. . detectors can be several hundred times more sensitive than traditional point type smoke detectors. The Siemens Aspirated Off-Gas Particle detector presented uses a patented optical dual-wavelength. . A patented smoke and particle detection technology which excels at smoke and lithium-ion battery off-gas detection. . Using a unique aspirator, a portion of air is drawn into the sample pipe network which mounted on the lithium-ion battery racks and passed into a detection.
