Battery Shell Thermal Release Test Equipment UL 2596

Product Overview

The battery shell thermal release test equipment is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the thermal release characteristics of battery shell materials under high temperature, thermal runaway, or extreme conditions. The equipment simulates internal thermal runaway of the battery or external heat source impact to detect the high temperature resistance, flame retardancy, gas release and thermal stability of the shell material, ensuring that the battery shell meets safety standards (such as UL 2596, GB/T 36276, IEC 62619, etc.), providing key data support for battery safety and reliability.

Core functions of Battery shell thermal release test equipment:

Heat release test: Accurately measure the heat released by the battery shell under thermal runaway or high temperature conditions (unit: kW/m²).

Gas composition analysis: Detect the types of gases (such as CO, CO₂, HF, etc.) and concentrations generated during the heat release process to evaluate toxicity risks.

Flame retardant performance test: Evaluate the self-extinguishing time, flame spread rate, and combustion residue of the shell material.

Temperature-pressure monitoring: Real-time monitoring of the temperature and pressure changes inside the shell to simulate real thermal runaway scenarios.

Thermal runaway propagation test: Analyze the propagation path of thermal runaway in the battery module and the protective capability of the casing.

Technical features of the battery shell thermal release test equipment:

1. One-piece steel structure, open test platform, reduces heat accumulation.

2. Stainless steel smoke hood installed above the test platform to collect combustion gas.

3. Imported flame jet burner, can supply jet flame and sandblasting flame.

4. The outer size of the burner jet port is about 28.6mm in diameter, with 30 methane supply ports and 78 oxygen supply ports, and one sandblasting supply port.

5. The burner can provide 3kw jet flame and a 1.5g/s sandblasting flame.

6. The battery shell thermal release test equipment is equipped with an electric spark igniter for ignition.

7. An imported mass flow meter is used to control the methane flow and the oxygen flow.

Application scenarios of battery shell thermal release test equipment:

New energy vehicle batteries: evaluate the thermal safety performance of the power battery pack casing under extreme conditions such as collision and short circuit.

Energy storage system: test the fire retardant ability and thermal runaway suppression effect of the energy storage battery cabinet casing.

Consumer electronics batteries: material selection verification of small battery casings such as mobile phones and laptops.

R&D and quality control: provide R&D data and factory quality inspection for battery manufacturers and material suppliers.
