Product description
Features
For these very special tests on sensitive products, the safety aspect of the people and equipment under test is taken very much into account, and solutions are proposed according to the level of risk involved.
In the event of possible leakage from the element under test :
- Control-independent minimum and maximum temperature protection
- Electromagnetic door locking
- Evaporator protection by nickel plating
- Test cabinet protection against chemical attack
- Retention tray for product runoffs
In the event of possible outgassing of the element under test :
- Air renewal system
- Electromagnetic door locking
In the event of possible smoke, fire or flame from the test item :
- Smoke detection
- Gas detection
- Flame detection
- Visual alarm
- Audible alarm
- Extinction by gas
In case of possible explosion of the tested element :
- Spirale Vision-controlled nitrogen flush inerting
- O2 analyzer
- Explosive gas detector
- Controlled pressure relief valve or rupture disk
- Exhaust air duct
The 4 solutions can be combined
Security and advanced controls
When it comes to thermal testing on batteries, safety is paramount. The chambers are equipped with safety systems tailored to customer requirements, such as EUCAR level. Examples of safety systems include multi-parameter monitoring, temperature sensors, smoke and gas detection systems, and nitrogen inerting devices. If a risk is detected, alarm and automatic extinguishing systems are activated to protect users and equipment.
Flexibility and modularity
Environmental test chambers are available in volumes ranging from a few m3 to several m3, with modular or monobloc structures for easy installation. They cover a temperature range from -90°C to +220°C, making it possible to simulate extreme conditions and carry out thermal tests on prolonged cycling batteries, right up to the eventual destruction of the cells.
Spirale
Spirale lets you control all your equipment. Standard features include :
- extra-large (15″) touchscreen,
- 3 levels of use :
- Production: simple, clear and functional
- Standard: a versatile level
- Laboratory: focused on advanced testing
- a tracking alarm in Shock or ESS mode to ensure reproducibility of your tests.
- programmable pre-treatment/post-treatment on Spirale Vision to temperature condition or even dry your samples at the beginning and/or end of the cycle.
- an automatic defrost function: Spirale Vision optimizes the cycle so that defrosting can be carried out correctly without disturbing the temperature of the samples under test.
Standard mode for easy program creation
Time-optimized or “guaranteed step time” mode (Wait for mode) to guarantee a programmed step time regardless of the number of samples on board.
The Energy Saving mode in Spirale© is a test cabinet-only mode. You save at least 40% on your electricity consumption during your test cycles.
