Systems and methods for mitigating battery damage caused by coolant leaks

摘要

System and methods for mitigating battery damage in a vehicle including a liquid-cooled battery system. In certain embodiments, a system for mitigating damage caused by leaks of liquid coolant in a battery system may include a one or more coolant leak sensors. A coolant leak detection system communicatively coupled to the coolant leak sensors may be configured to detect an occurrence of a liquid coolant leak in the battery system based on information provided by the coolant leak sensors. One or more valves communicatively coupled with the coolant leak detection system may actuate by the coolant leak detection system when a leak of liquid coolant is detected, thereby allowing leaked liquid coolant to drain from the battery system.

1. A system for mitigating damage caused by the presence of a liquid solution in a battery system comprising:
a first liquid solution sensor, the first liquid solution sensor comprising a plurality of dielectric measurement contact points; a liquid solution detection system communicatively coupled to the first liquid solution sensor configured to detect a presence of the liquid solution in the battery system based on information provided by the first liquid solution sensor, the liquid solution detection system comprising a hall-effect switch configured to be actuated to implement a first action based on a current measured by the first liquid solution sensor exceeding a first threshold; and
system; and a first valve communicatively coupled to the liquid solution detection system configured to be actuated based on the hall-effect switch being actuated to implement the first action.
