Abstract:
1. An energy storage system, comprising an electric component having at least one solvent producing decomposition products; a housing having an interior, said housing enclosing said component in said interior; and a protective device configured to chemically bind the decomposition products of said at least one solvent; said protective device including an electronic sensor, a container with an opening communicating with said interior of said housing, and a closure closing said opening, said container storing chemical compounds for binding the decomposition products of said at least one solvent, said sensor being electrically coupled to said closure of said container; and said container storing a gas for creating overpressure in said container relative to the interior of said housing such that said gas forces said chemical compounds from said container into said housing due to an opening of said closure.
