Battery Hot/Cold Testing
Testing the limits of quality
These are some models from ESPEC's product line for hot and cold testing of secondary lithium-ion batteries. These models may require safety modifications to suit your testing needs.
- IEC 62133 - Temp cycling: 75 to 20 to -20°C (30 min. transitions)
- IEC 61960 - Discharge performance at 20°C and -20°C
- UL 1642 - Temp cycling: 70 to 20 to -40 °C (30 min. transitions)
Protection Options
- (1) -Chamber ventilation blower with vent port - Ventilation purges chamber with ambient air, activated by a gas monitoring system
- (2) -Spark resistant construction - Fan blades, motor port, and sheathed heaters are all spark resistant
- (3) -Gas monitor systems (H2 and/or CO) - Monitors the chamber workspace for hazardous gas, includes an alarm and light
- (4) -Nitrogen purge with vent port - Purges nitrogen into chamber to reduce the oxygen content of the workspace air
- (5) -Electromagnetic door lock - Prevent operator access during operation (500 lbs. of holding force)
- (6) -Reinforced door latch - Designed to withstand pressure increase due to explosion
- (7) -Pressure relief blow-out port - Quickly relieves pressure inside of chamber
- Fire detection system with vent port - Detects fire and shuts down the chamber, includes an alarm and light
