How Can FTIR Analyzer Improve Battery Thermal Runaway Gas Analysis
FTIR improves battery thermal runaway testing by continuously measuring multiple infrared-active gases and linking their concentration profiles to temperature, pressure and propagation events. However, FTIR cannot measure every important component, so it should be combined with hydrogen, oxygen, flow and other appropriate measurements rather than used as a standalone compliance solution. The value of the analyzer therefore depends on more than the instrument itself. Sampling temperature, material compatibility, response time, calibration and synchronisation with the test timeline all affect whether the gas results accurately describe the event.
