Engineered for Reliable Environmental Testing

The Walk-In Battery Pack Test Chamber is a large-scale environmental testing system designed for complete battery packs, battery modules and energy-storage assemblies.

It provides controlled high-temperature, low-temperature, humidity and thermal-cycling conditions for evaluating battery performance, reliability and safety under demanding operating and storage environments.

The large internal test area can accommodate full battery packs, stacked modules or multiple specimens and can be integrated with battery cyclers, data-acquisition equipment and battery-management-system communication for synchronized environmental and electrical testing.

The system can also be configured with safety monitoring, ventilation and protection interfaces for high-risk battery testing programs involving thermal runaway, internal short circuits, overcharge and other abnormal conditions.

Controls, Standards & Configuration

Control System

The programmable control system supports heating, cooling, constant-temperature operation and multiple stored environmental test programs. RS232, RS485 and Ethernet communication interfaces can be configured. Multi-language controller operation is available. Remote network monitoring allows current chamber conditions and test data to be viewed through connected PCs and supported mobile devices. The system can also be integrated with battery cyclers, data-acquisition systems and battery-management-system communication for synchronized environmental and electrical testing.

Safety / Special Configuration

The chamber can be configured for high-risk battery pack testing with safety systems appropriate to the expected test hazard. Available project configurations may include thermal-runaway gas detection, exhaust ventilation, fire-suppression interfaces, pressure-relief provisions, emergency shutdown, electrical interlocks and real-time battery temperature and voltage monitoring. The exact protection package should be selected according to battery chemistry, pack energy, test method and expected failure mode.

Environmental / Refrigeration System

Hot-gas defrost technology helps reduce evaporator frosting during demanding low-temperature test cycles. Variable refrigerant-flow control based on PID cooling demand supports energy-efficient operation and can reduce low-temperature energy consumption. The refrigeration system uses a modular architecture designed to improve reliability, cooling efficiency and maintainability.
