Raytron’s infrared thermal imaging solution provides 24/7 monitoring of new energy vehicle charging, detecting temperature changes on charging ports and circuit surfaces before incidents occur. When abnormal temperatures are identified, it triggers an alert for early intervention and integrates with fire safety systems to prevent potential fires.
As the new energy vehicle industry accelerates, electric vehicle numbers have surged, with supporting charging stations increasing accordingly. To reduce charging times, high-voltage, high-current setups are commonly used in charging stations, demanding heightened safety measures.
Conventional fire systems primarily rely on smoke and temperature sensors that trigger alerts only after incidents occur, lacking preventative capabilities. In contrast, infrared thermal imaging cameras provide diagnostic capabilities by instantly visualizing and verifying heat information, with distinct temperature measurement advantages.
Raytron’s infrared thermal imager offers precise, non-contact temperature measurement, enabling continuous real-time monitoring of the charging process. It provides 24/7 temperature visualization by tracking temperature distribution on charging station surfaces and outputting thermal images and data. The system promptly detects and alerts for faults like input/output issues, overvoltage, undervoltage, insulation failures, leakage, overheating, and short circuits.
In real-time monitoring, Raytron’s infrared thermal imager allows for customized monitoring zones around specific high-risk areas—such as connection cables, electrical boxes, charging heads, and wiring terminals. This enables targeted, continuous monitoring of critical points, helping promptly identify potential overheating risks.
Unlike traditional smoke detectors, Raytron’s infrared thermal imager, when used for safety monitoring of new energy vehicle charging stations, provides early warning capabilities. It can identify high-temperature points during heat buildup and smoldering phases, detecting temperature anomalies from charging faults before ignition occurs, enabling alerts to prevent fires in advance.
Raytron’s infrared thermal imager can penetrate dense smoke caused by fires, enabling it to pinpoint the source of flames even in dark conditions. This capability aids rescue teams in quickly locating and extinguishing fires during emergencies.
The system performs real-time temperature monitoring of charging stations, tracking maximum, minimum, and average temperatures, along with fire detection. Upon detecting abnormal temperatures, it automatically connects to nearby devices to trigger alarms, capture images, and record video, offering essential data for incident investigation. Furthermore, Raytron’s infrared thermal imager generates alarm signals that integrate with third-party devices, facilitating audible and visual alerts as well as coordinated firefighting responses.
Raytron’s high-performance uncooled infrared detectors leverage advanced imaging and temperature measurement algorithms to deliver high-resolution thermal images and exceptional sensitivity, effectively identifying even minor hotspot risks.
The system ensures continuous monitoring that is unaffected by external factors such as lighting conditions, nighttime, or rain, allowing for constant oversight of the safety status of electric vehicle charging stations.
The system provides full coverage of the charging station area, presenting temperature distributions clearly. It automatically identifies the hottest spots, visually highlighting potential high-temperature or fire hazards.
By regularly collecting temperature data, the system generates trend graphs that analyze the charging stations' operational conditions. This thorough safety assessment enables early detection, proactive warnings, and timely responses to potential issues.
