Reach-In Battery Test Chambers EUCAR Hazard Levels Humidity Control Chamber

JOEO factory supply a variety of environmental chambers for testing small battery cells to large lithium ion battery packs. Battery test chambers are supplied to a variety of industries including telecommunications, computer and automotive.
Each humidity control chamber is built according to specific test requirements and may be interfaced with battery cyclers, control & monitoring data acquisitions systems and other test equipment for a complete integrated test solution.
With the goal of reducing automobile emissions and the development of electric vehicles, the need for lithium ion battery test is even more critical.
Our proven experience provides the most cost-effective solutions.

Description

Battery test chambers are designed to meet a variety of test standards for safe and reliable test. To assure this safety in your laboratory during tests with lithium batteries in temperature humidity chamber, we offer safety features, which are adjusted to the specific EUCAR Hazard Level. Base on customer demanding, the safety equipment can be adapted individually, according to customer specifications. Please contact us for more detailed information.
 

EUCAR Hazard Levels

Hazard
Severity Level
Description Classification Criteria and Effect
0 No Effect No effect. No loss of functionality
1 Passive Protection Activated No defect; no leakage; no venting, fire, or flame;no rupture;no explosion;no exothermic reaction or thermal runaway.
Cell reversibly damaged.Repair of protection device needed.
2 Defect/Damage No leakage; no venting, fire, or flame; no rupture;
no explosion;no exothermic reaction or thermal runaway.Cell irreversibly damaged.Repair needed.
3 Minor Leakage No venting, fire, or flame*; no rupture;no explosion. Weight loss
4 Major Leakage/ Venting No fire or flame; no rupture; no explosion.Weight loss ≥50% of electrolyte weight(electrolyte = solvent + salt).
5 Fire or Flame No rupture; no explosion (i.e., no flying parts).
6 Rupture No explosion, but flying parts of the active mass
7 Explosion Explosion (i.e., disintegration of the cell).

Note:
The presence of flame requires the presence of an ignition source in combination with fuel and oxidizer in concentrations that will support combustion.
A fire or flame will not be observed if any of these elements are absent. For this reason, we recommend that a spark source be used during tests that are likely to result in venting of cell(s).
We believe that “credible abuse environments” would likely include a spark source.
Thus, if a spark source were added to the test configuration and the gas or liquid expelled from the cell was flammable, the test article would likely progress from EUCAR level 3 or level 4 to level 5.


We offers a large selection of environmental test chamber for test batteries with any size.
Temperatures range from -70°C to +200°C with an optional humidity range from 5% to 98%R.H.
