Popular Post Khazil Posted June 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2021 First off, I’m not trying to sell anyone anything, merely happened upon an interesting product in my field.. I work as a low voltage electrician, specifically as a fire alarm technician. Anyway, the other day, my rep from siemens sent me a data sheet for their brand new lithium ion offgas detectors. Designed specifically to detect the particles emitted during, and prior to a thermal runaway event. Rather than explain the details.. here is a link to the public information. https://new.siemens.com/us/en/products/buildingtechnologies/fire/fire-products-and-systems/detection-and-devices/aspirating-smoke-detectors.html While this is a significant investment, (about the price of a new Sherman). Having notice a few mins Prior to an event should allow enough time to eject the offending gotway from my home. the installation isn’t a simple smoke detector that screws on the ceiling, and beeps when the battery gets low. It is part of a full commercial style setup that requires a dedicated panel and costs a few thousand dollars to have professionally installed.. of course it would also be more than capable of covering all your fire detection needs throughout the entire home in addition. It’s definitely overkill, but could be installed to cover a wheel storage area exclusively to reduce costs. Might be worth looking at for any of us with multiple wheels (or a single gotway 😂). As far as I am aware there are only 2 companys making detectors of this nature, Siemens, and the nexceris li-ion tamer (which i believe is intended for server racks and the like). I haven’t had the opportunity to play with these things in person as of yet, but soon. With any luck these type of detectors will be scaled down in the coming years to make practical for apartment dwellers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
