MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049170 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 17, for 'automated fire detection and carbon dioxide suppression system for electric vehicle battery packs.'
Inventor(s) include Santhosh Kumar C; Akilandeswari J; Iyyanar P; Naveenkumar A; Naveena S; Nivetha M; Nithiyasri S; and Nithin M.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to an automated fire suppression system for electric vehicle lithium-ion battery packs. The system includes temperature sensors for detecting thermal anomalies, a control unit for processing sensor data, a pressurized carbon dioxide storage tank, and an automated release mechanism for targeted discharge of carbon dioxide into the battery pack. An IoT monitoring module provides real-time monitoring and remote alerts. Upon detection of abnormal temperature rise indicating potential thermal runaway, the system automatically releases carbon dioxide to cool the battery and suppress fire. The invention provides early-stage fire suppression, improved safety, and compatibility with existing electric vehicle battery systems."
