TL-SENSING
A rapid heat sensing technology, allowing early detection of thermal runaway of Li-Ion batteries, measurement of thermal dissipation properties of processors and other electronics, and visualization of internal temperature. The sensor utilizes a unique thermoelectric phenomenon called Anomalous Nernst Effect, which allows for a thin film-based heat flux sensor. Heat flux sensors are capable of slight changes in heat dissipation compared to temperature sensors as it detects the actual energy dissipated from a component, disregarding the thermal capacity of the component. Thin-film-based sensor structure allows for mass production of the sensor at low cost allowing for cost structures that can be used in embedded applications.
One of the applications in development is a early detection sensor for therma anomalies in EV batteries.
