Solutions

Thermal Management Parameter Testing

Testing of thermal properties such as heat generation,heat capacity, and thermal conductivity during battery charging and discharging under various conditions supports the development of high-performance battery systems and thermal management simulations.

Gas Explosion Characteristics Testing

According with UL9540A, the solution evaluates the explosion characteristics of battery thermal runaway and the release of other eruptive substances. Comprehensive assessment of gas hazards during battery operation is achieved through parameters like explosion limits, maximum explosion pressure, explosion index, and gas combustion rate.

Online Gas Composition Analysis

Simulating lithium battery thermal runaway processes under program-controlled temperature conditions allows real-time gas collection and online component analysis, aiding researchers in studying the evolution of gas composition at different stages of thermal runaway.

Thermal Safety Characteristic Parameter Testing

Conducting thermal safety tests on battery cells under various abusive conditions, including parameters such as the onset temperature of self-heating, thermal runaway onset temperature, maximum temperature rise rate, and thermal runaway incubation time, to characterize the thermal stability of battery cells.

Material Safety Assessment

Characterizing the thermal stability and safety of battery materials involves measuring parameters related to thermal decomposition characteristics, electrolyte flash point, and vapor pressure.
