Leading the development trend of thermal runaway gas detection technology, ProSense invites you to meet Sensors Converge 2024

Prosense Technologies Stand: 4/L109

From June 24th to 26th, the highly anticipated Sensors Converge 2024, an international sensor and technology exhibition in the United States, will kick off at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California. Gas sensor manufacturer ProSense has been invited to participate.

Sensors Converge is the largest and most professional sensor and technology exhibition in North America, and the only local system level design event covering sensors, embedded processing, vision, artificial intelligence, security, automotive technology, and medical technology. With a history of over 30 years, this exhibition tours multiple cities in the United States every June. The exhibition is known as the "barometer of global sensors", gathering the vast majority of sensor manufacturers and traders from Asia, Europe, and North America, attracting a large number of buyers and professionals every year.

At the Sensors Converge exhibition, ProSense will showcase its two cutting-edge products, FC-H2-5000 and FC-CO-5000, and for the first time publicly display a lithium battery electrolyte sensor based on electrochemical principles. In the field of energy storage and power battery thermal runaway management, ProSense has independently developed hydrogen sensor FC-H2-5000 and carbon monoxide sensor FC-CO-5000 based on the electrochemical principle of fuel cells, which have been widely used in the industry. Several leading thermal runaway solution service providers have reached deep cooperation with ProSense.

Recently, according to US media reports, on the evening of May 14th local time, a fire broke out at the Gateaway energy storage plant in California, USA. The California Fire Department dispatched 40 firefighters and 5 fire trucks to deal with the fire. As of the afternoon of May 21st, the energy storage power station has experienced two reignitions, and the fire has lasted for 6 days. The Gateaway energy storage power station has an installed capacity of 250MW/250MWh and was once the world's largest battery energy storage project when it was connected to the grid on August 19, 2020. The accident has attracted high attention from both inside and outside the industry, and energy storage safety has once again become the focus. According to expert analysis, the main reason for the fire is that the California energy storage plant where the fire occurred chose ternary lithium batteries for the battery cells, and there were deficiencies in the safety design and thermal runaway management of the energy storage plant.

If a lithium battery loses control, it will produce a large amount of typical characteristic gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and the combustion reaction will be intense. The Pu Sheng Sensing R&D team has 20 years of practical experience in this field. The gas detection solution for the fire protection system of energy storage power plants, developed based on technological content, commercial prospects, universality, and economic benefits, consists of multiple high-sensitivity sensors that can collect gas information in real-time and at high frequencies. It can provide multi-level warnings, enabling timely detection and even prediction of various events; In addition, the FC-CO-5000 carbon monoxide sensor and FC-H2-5000 hydrogen sensor developed by ProSense using non patented core technology have industry-leading resistance to VOC gas interference and salt spray, allowing the sensors to be used without worrying about the high content of silicone in the energy storage cabinet, even at sea.

The solution will make its global debut at this exhibition, where leading engineers and innovators will learn about the latest sensing technology. ProSense sincerely welcomes you to visit.

We are waiting for you at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
