Honeywell BES LITE SERIES EN
BES LITE is designed to detect gases that are typically released during the initial phase of thermal runaway as well as throughout the entire thermal runaway process. This advanced detection capability facilitates the prompt identification of imminent dangers or risks, significantly enhancing safety measures in critical situations. Therefore, the sensor allows for proactive responses that can prevent loss of assets and protection of lives.
Early detection may vary based on factors such as the nature of cell abuse and its severity, state of charge, and other variables. BES LITE allows compliance with international regulations and guidance by providing a deterministic detection of thermal runaway events.
BES LITE is compatible with all lithium-ion battery chemistries and cell types, making it versatile for use in industrial lithium-ion battery packs. Engineered to support a ten-year lifespan, it aligns with the typical operational life of industrial equipment. As concerns over lithium-ion battery safety continue to rise, BES LITE stands out as the ideal battery safety detector, ensuring the protection of both personnel and assets.
- Early Thermal Runaway Detection:
BES LITE is designed to detect gases commonly released during the initial phase of lithium-ion battery cell breakdown. This early detection allows for the timely implementation of safety mitigation actions, ensuring that appropriate measures can be taken to address potential hazards before they escalate. - Selective response to battery electrolyte vapor::
BES LITE’s selective response to battery electrolyte vapor significantly reduces the risk of false alarms, making it ideal for use in environments where interference gases may be present. - Efficient & safe design:
BES LITE employs simple electronics for easy integration and minimal power consumption. Unlike other gas sensing technologies, it operates without an internal heating element, making it ideal for explosion-proof environments and applications requiring extended battery life. - Agnostic to Li-Ion chemistry & battery type:
Works with various Li-ion battery types including prismatic, pouch & cylindrical, as well as different chemistries such as NMC, LFP, LTO, and more.
Summary
The BES LITE is a compact, intrinsically safe battery safety detector with a ten-year lifespan that provides early detection of initial venting events and thermal runaway incidents. It selectively responds to electrolyte vapors, is resistant to common contaminants, and highly resistant to siloxane poisoning. Featuring built-in diagnostics, a three-state analog output, a low-profile, compact design, and compatibility with all lithium-ion chemistries and cell types, it is easy to integrate. Its heater-free, low-power design is customizable to specific needs and optimized for industrial applications.
