Lithium Ion Battery Test Chambers

Lithium Battery Test Systems An energy supply is crucial to tomorrow's mobility. The increasing price of energy sources (oil, gas etc.), as well as more Product Image (Main)stringent emission thresholds provide a key impetus in the search for future alternative energy sources. Recent years have seen many developments in the lithium-based battery sector. Lithium batteries have already made their debut in the telecommunications, video technology and IT sectors. Further major steps are expected in the optimisation of lithium batteries. In the automotive industry, the trend is shifting from the single combustion engine to the use of new technologies, e.g. hybrid or electric vehicles. In future, electricity will play a far more prominent role in individual mobility than it does today. Developers in the automotive industry are turning their attention to electric drives. Advancements in battery technology are coming into their own in marketable electric vehicles. The development departments at practically all automotive firms are convinced that vehicles will in future be driven by electric motors. There is every sign of a boom in this area. Lithium batteries have multiplied power storage potential and this makes them indispensable for hybrid and/or electric vehicles. The recovery of braking energy through alternators with a potential energy saving is another initial and important step for CO2 reduction. The long-term goal is purely electrical driving, since this will eliminate vehicle emissions. Since 2003, lithium batteries have had to be tested to special safety standards specified as binding. Without this qualified test verification, these batteries cannot be brought onto the market. The safety concepts required for this purpose can be combined with most of our standard test systems. In addition to our comprehensive range of standard safety equipment, we also offer safety concepts designed specifically for testing lithium batteries.- Additional safety temperature limiter- Forced cooling of the chamber to +20 °C- Compressed air purging at 10 x the ventilation rate- Monitoring of the test chamber for rising concentration of CO2- Monitoring of the test chamber for rising concentration of H2- CO2 inert gas purging with CO detection- N2 inerting without O2 measurement- N2 inerting with O2 measurement- Pressure relieving of the test chamber via tested rupture membrane, reinforced test chamber,additional door interlocks Electro-mechanical door lock All of the following products are suited to lithium battery testing:- Stress Screening Chamber- Shock Test Chamber- Climatic Test Chamber- Temperature Test Chamber- Vibration Test Chamber- Walk-in Test Room- Emission Test Chamber
