Another new-energy vehicle has caught fire. The thermal safety control system for new-energy batteries is a revolutionary approach that shifts from traditional "passive firefighting"—which relies on manually extinguishing flames—to an advanced "active protection" system that instantly cuts off oxygen supply while continuously monitoring battery conditions. This innovative system effectively delays thermal runaway, minimizes its impact, and ultimately prevents large-scale fires from breaking out.
Another new-energy vehicle has caught fire—on February 19, 2025, a Mercedes-Benz new-energy car ignited at a charging station in Chengdu, Sichuan. The blaze was intense and proved extremely difficult to contain. Firefighters worked in shifts, using both water and foam to extinguish the flames, before finally bringing the fire under control.
Can new-energy vehicles only be extinguished after they’ve already caught fire? What if we proactively implement battery thermal safety protection before a new-energy vehicle even ignites?
The new-generation thermal safety control system for power batteries is a revolutionary approach that shifts from traditional "passive fire suppression"—which relies on extinguishing fires after they occur—to an advanced "active protection" system that actively isolates oxygen while continuously monitoring battery conditions. By replacing the oxygen inside the battery pack with inert gas—nitrogen—the system ensures that, in the event of unexpected damage to a specific battery module, it can swiftly inject inert gas into the affected area. This action effectively delays thermal runaway and mitigates its impact, ultimately preventing large-scale fires from breaking out.
The new-energy battery thermal safety prevention and control system is composed of components such as a nitrogen-generation module, controller, nitrogen gas storage cylinder, solenoid valve, and air filter. The nitrogen generator produces high-concentration nitrogen gas, which is then stored in a nitrogen gas cylinder. The nitrogen storage cylinder is connected directly to the battery enclosure, ensuring a continuous 24-hour supply of nitrogen gas to maintain optimal conditions inside the battery compartment. Inside the battery enclosure, sensors collect real-time data and transmit it to the nitrogen-generation system controller, precisely regulating the nitrogen concentration within the compartment and effectively mitigating the risk of oxygen-induced fires involving high- and low-voltage electrical components.
