Lithium-ion Battery Test Chamber

What’s a battery Test chamber, yes the answer is in the question itself Battery test chamber is a chamber where the tests are performed on lithium-ion cells and modules and Battery packs. Lithium-ion batteries have become important for electric vehicles, reliability and safety become paramount. The batteries must perform well in hot and cold conditions, while not posing a hazard due to leaking or exploding. Through temperature testing with Kelviron’s chambers, the batteries’ ability to withstand environmental extremes and stress can be identified safely. Battery test chambers are supplied to a variety of industries including telecommunications, computer and automotive. With the goal of reducing automobile emissions and the development of electric vehicles, the need for lithium ion battery testing is even more critical. Each environmental chamber is designed with safety in mind. A variety of safety features are provided for reliability and abuse testing of batteries. Because battery failure is a real risk (and sometimes it’s a desired outcome), environmental chambers need safety systems to protect from harmful explosions and ensure operator safety. Of greatest risk is the release of gases from a battery, which may ignite on their own, or by the test chamber’s heaters. Special low-temperature heaters are recommended, but additional precautions may be necessary. By monitoring the battery for thermal runaway, the chamber may be shut off and an alarm made prior to an explosion. Based on your testing needs and safety requirements, Kelviron can help with the following options to create a complete testing system. At Kelviron Technologies we see that our chamber is engulfed with safety, we use EUCAR level 5 & 6 and use Fire detection & suppression system with audio alarm. Threshold @ 68°C and Suppresses fire by flooding workspace with CO2, use with fire detection system. In the lithium-ion battery test chamber Kelviron Technologies has Nitrogen purge with vent port which purges nitrogen into chamber to reduce the oxygen content of the workspace air. In the Chamber ventilation blower with vent port is provided which ensures ventilation and purges chamber with ambient air activated by a gas monitoring system. The chamber is constructed with Spark resistantance, the Fan blades and motor port are made of spark resistant Aluminum. Kelviron’s Lithium –ion Battery Test chamber has Gas monitor systems (H2 and/or CO) this monitors the chamber workspace for hazardous gas, includes an alarm and light. This magnificent chamber comes with an electromagnetic door lock system which prevents the access to the operator during operation (500lbs of holding force). The chamber has a door switch which Inhibits chamber operation if chamber door is open. There is a Reinforced door latch which is designed to withstand pressure increase due to explosion. The chamber also has Port plug restraint this covers and restrains port plugs from flying out due to over pressurization.
