Abstract
An off-gas detection system for mobile equipment includes an off-gas detection device, and a controller. The off-gas detection device is configured to removably couple with the mobile equipment. The off-gas detection device is configured to define a controlled flow path between an electrical energy storage device of the mobile equipment and an off-gas detector. The controller is configured to receive data from the off-gas detector regarding an air sample, determine a presence or concentration of off-gas within the air sample, and initiate one or more actions in response to determining the presence or concentration of off-gas in the air sample.
Claims20
An off-gas detection system for a mobile equipment, the off-gas detection system comprising:
- an off-gas detection device configured to removably couple with the mobile equipment, the off-gas detection device configured to define a controlled flow path from an electrical energy storage device of the mobile equipment to an off-gas detector;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- receive data from the off-gas detector regarding an air sample;
- determine a presence or concentration of off-gas within the air sample;
- and
- initiate one or more actions in response to determining the presence or concentration of off-gas in the air sample.
A method of detecting off-gas comprising:
- coupling an off-gas detection device to an equipment to define an interior volume beginning at the equipment and extending to the off-gas detection device, the equipment comprising an electrical energy storage device;
- coupling the equipment to a charging station to charge the electrical energy storage device;
- detecting a presence or concentration of off gas in an air sample using the interior volume as a controlled air path provided by the off-gas detection device from the electrical energy storage device to the off-gas detection device;
- and
- initiating an action based on detecting the presence or concentration of the off gas.
An off-gas detection device for an equipment comprising:
- an off-gas detector;
- and
- a body configured to define a channel for a controlled flow path directly from an electrical energy storage device of the equipment to the off-gas detector;
- wherein the off-gas detection device is configured to removably couple with the equipment or the electrical energy storage device of the equipment so that the controlled flow path is defined between the electrical energy storage device of the equipment and the off-gas detector;
- wherein the off-gas detector is configured to provide sensor data to a controller for limiting charging of the electrical energy storage device in response to the sensor data.
