3D Thermal Properties Analyzer

Through the application of flexible electric heating sheets to the bottom of pouch lithium-ion batteries, pulsed excitation is induced. Utilizing an infrared thermal imager on one side of the battery enables non-contact temperature measurement. By employing data inversion techniques, the longitudinal and transverse thermal conductivity coefficients of the battery can be calculated. This method is suitable for various specifications, surface hardness, roughness, and porosity of homogeneous or heterogeneous samples, thereby providing a more comprehensive reference for the thermal simulation design of pouch batteries.

Dual-state Thermal Parameter Tester

Developed based on non-contact temperature measurement using an infrared thermal imager and inverse modeling of heterogeneous heat transfer, the “storage-release” two-state testing method simultaneously obtains longitudinal and transverse thermal conductivity coefficients of the core, as well as the contact thermal resistance between the core and the shell, through a single experiment. This method is suitable for detecting heterogeneous core-shell structure samples..

Large and Small Battery Adiabatic Calorimeters

The instrument simulates the adiabatic environment of battery thermal runaway processes, enabling battery thermal runaway testing, gas production testing, charge-discharge heat generation testing, and specific heat capacity testing. It can acquire parameters such as heat generation and specific heat capacity during charge and discharge at low temperatures, thermal runaway onset temperature, maximum thermal runaway rate, adiabatic temperature rise characteristics, battery gas production volume, and gas production rate. This data supports the safety performance assessment of lithium batteries and battery modules and provides evaluation criteria for low-temperature thermal management systems for power batteries.
