CLIMATIC TESTING OF BATTERIES: TECHNOLOGY AND SAFETY FOR A MORE RELIABLE ENERGY FUTURE

 Today, batteries are a key component in strategic sectors such as electric mobility, renewable energy storage, consumer electronics, and aerospace. Their development not only demands high storage capacity and efficiency but also reliable and safe behavior under extreme conditions. This is where climatic testing plays a crucial role.

At DYCOMETAL, we have extensive experience in designing and manufacturing advanced climatic chambers for battery testing, both in R&D and validation processes. These chambers simulate demanding environments that replicate the real-world conditions batteries may be exposed to throughout their service life.

What is evaluated in climatic battery testing?

Climatic tests expose batteries to controlled variations in temperature, humidity, and pressure with the aim of:

• Analyzing thermal behavior under extremely cold or hot conditions.
• Accelerating aging processes to detect premature failures or material degradation.
• Verifying stability under repeated thermal cycles or intermittent usage.
• Assessing the response to overcharges, pressure changes, and other external stress factors.

These tests are essential for ensuring the safety, durability, and efficiency of the final product, especially in critical applications where a failure could have serious consequences.

Active safety in battery testing

When testing batteries, especially lithium-based ones, it is essential to implement active safety measures to protect both the operator and the laboratory environment.

Our battery testing chambers include a comprehensive set of safety systems that comply with the industry’s highest standards:

• Overpressure relief valves, to release gases in case of abnormal pressure build-up.
• Flammable and toxic gas detectors, for quick response to unexpected emissions.
• Forced air extraction systems, to ensure proper ventilation and avoid gas accumulation.
• Fire-resistant and sealed chamber designs, to limit the spread in the event of fire or thermal runaway.

We also integrate remote monitoring systems, smart alarms, and emergency stop protocols to maximize process control.

CLIMATIC CHAMBER FOR MOSQUITO BREEDING, CCK-0/360F

In the laboratory, small tools can lead to major discoveries, such as climate chambers with controlled temperature, humidity, and light intensity for studying mosquito growth and development under highly controlled conditions.

This type of technology allows for the precise recreation of natural environments, which is essential for understanding how environmental variables (constant temperature, regulated relative humidity, and simulated photoperiods) affect the life cycle, behavior, and physiology of these vectors. All of this translates into more reliable and reproducible data, key to advancing the study of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, and malaria.

Our CCK-0/360f model has been developed with the care a living being deserves. Its horizontal airflow, with controlled air velocity, allows for a very stable and uniform interior environment, avoiding areas with ambient differences. The chamber is designed to operate in high humidity conditions, optimal for insect growth. And simulating solar radiation, it has a light tray on the top with 4000K, Cool White lighting, to provide the necessary radiation for development.

DYCOMETAL, a company with more than 40 years of experience in the development of simulation chambers for environmental testing, offers its customers ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING SOLUTIONS ADAPTED TO THEIR NEEDS.

WHAT HUMIDITY RANGE IS BEST FOR MY CLIMATIC CHAMBER?

Climatic chambers can control either the temperature or the humidity within them. This is a point that is sometimes difficult to understand, because the relative humidity (RH) percentage will depend on the existing temperature. The higher the temperature, the more moisture the air can hold.

Relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of moisture in the air to the amount it can hold. Changing the temperature changes the relative humidity, which makes temperature control very important, since stable temperatures ensure a stable humidity level.

The normal humidity range for test chambers is usually between 10% and 98% RH, ranging from 10°C to 90°C and limited by the dew point. Test chambers use the dew point to establish the relative humidity limit.

The best way to understand this theory is to look at the temperature vs. relative humidity diagram, which indicates the manufacturer’s humidity limits. It is important to work within these limits to prevent damage to the cooling system.

To achieve lower humidity levels, the chamber is usually equipped with an air-drying system to allow the coil to drop below freezing.

Climate testing regulations have well-defined temperature and humidity ranges. Please indicate the regulations you wish to follow so that DYCOMETAL can offer you the most comprehensive equipment in the humidity ranges you need to perform your tests. Since humidity depends on temperature, indicate the temperature points and the humidity at those points you wish to define so that we can properly define the humidification systems.

WHAT NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE RANGE DO I SELECT FOR MY CLIMATIC CHAMBER?

Climatic chambers can control both positive and negative temperatures. For positive temperature control, the chambers use electric heating elements, but for negative temperatures, there are different cooling options. Most climatic chambers use a mechanical system based on refrigerant gas compressors to perform the cooling.

There are several negative temperature ranges, but the standard used and the type of material or sample being tested will determine the negative range. The following must be taken into account: the negative temperature range indicated in the standard, energy dissipation, mass, and type of material, in order to calculate the cold group and determine whether it is the most appropriate. For example, if you want to lower the test temperature to -40°C with a large mass and high dissipation, a single-compressor chamber will not be sufficient, and you will need to select a two-compressor system with a larger negative temperature range.

There are several alternatives for lower temperature ranges, based on mechanical cooling or an expandable refrigerant.

• Ambient +10°C. This lower limit is common for non-cooled chambers. Since the fan generates its own heat, temperatures close to ambient cannot be guaranteed. If a temperature close to ambient is desired, a cooling system will be necessary.

• -25°C. This is a considerably lower range that can be achieved by refrigerants commonly used in refrigerators or air conditioners, using a refrigerant gas.

• -40°C. This type of cooling system is commonly called single-stage, as there is only one compressor in the cooling system.

• -70°C. Systems called cascade or dual-stage. The high stage will be used to cool the low stage, allowing the temperature limits to be lowered. The high stage will ensure no overpressure or overheating.

• -86°C. To achieve this cooling, a triple cascade cooling system is used. This is rare in climatic chambers, however, it is common for ultra-low temperature freezers.

• -170°C. Chambers that reach these limits use liquid nitrogen for cooling. Nitrogen is an inexpensive method for cooling a chamber; however, prolonged use can be expensive. It is typically used for tests requiring gradients close to 30°C/min with a small volume.

Remember, provide as much information as possible to the DYCOMETAL technical department so they can configure the most appropriate equipment for your solution.

PROHESION, MODIFIED SALT SPRAY TEST, ASTM G85-ANNEX A5

ASTM G-85 is a corrosion standard that establishes a number of methods for modified salt spray testing. These variations described in the standard are useful when a different or more corrosive environment than the salt spray described in ASTM B117 tests is desired. This method is applicable to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as organic and inorganic coatings.

Within this standard, Annex A5 establishes test criteria based on stages of slightly acidified salt spray, followed by exposure to drying at a temperature above the test temperature by inlet of fresh, unsaturated air. These conditions have to be taken into account when designing the chamber, since this second stage requires a modification of a standard salt spray.

The SSC salt spray chamber models can have this test in their configuration by means of a design and programming modification, and this test can be carried out as an option of the standard configuration in any of the models offered.

WHAT POSITIVE TEMPERATURE RANGE SHOULD I SELECT FOR MY CLIMATIC CHAMBER?

 Once we have selected the most suitable chamber volume, it is time to select the positive and negative temperature ranges to perform the tests. In this case we will focus on the positive temperature ranges that an environmental test chamber can have, i.e. heating.

The climatic chambers have a heating system based on electrical resistors that generate heat, placing a greater number of resistors will increase the heat generated and therefore the upper range of temperatures and higher heating rates.

Normally the standards indicate the positive test temperature, but sometimes it is the sample itself that will mark the maximum temperature range it can withstand. Always select a maximum temperature range in which you will be working.

Depending on the application for which the chamber is to be used:

• +50 ⁰C. A range for environmental stability testing where the product is subjected to the normal ambient temperatures it will encounter throughout its lifetime. It is used for pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology or in some construction materials testing. Its insulation is usually expanded polyurethane.

• +85ºC. They are modular type chambers or intended for industries where it is not necessary large upper temperature limits such as. These chambers will use polyurethane as insulation.

• +150 or 180 ⁰C. Most of the chambers have this temperature range. It is a dedicated range for industrial sector like automotive, electronics, aeronautics, etc. The insulation shall be composed of mineral wool. These ranges should not be exceeded due to the risk of overheating of the cooling oil.

• +200 °C. Range for thermal shock chambers. As both test chambers (hot and cold) are separated, the cooling limit of the cooling oil may be exceeded.

• ≥ +200 °C. This range is used for stoves, ovens or muffles that do not have a cooling system. This allows the upper temperature limit to be raised.

Which climatic chamber is best for my product?

We need to carry out climatic tests on our developed or developing product, but which is the best climatic chamber for us? The answer lies in the product(s) you want to test, as the climatic chamber should be adapted to your needs and not the product to the climatic chamber. Not all standard chambers will be suitable for testing your product. For example, if I am a manufacturer of a pharmaceutical product and I want to perform stability tests, I will not need a climatic chamber with a temperature range from -70ºC to +180ºC, a chamber from +10ºC to +50ºC will be enough. Each market has its own environmental tests.
In order to configure the ideal equipment, the manufacturer of the chamber must have all the information about the product to be tested, to be able to advise you and offer you the climatic chamber that best suits your needs, as well as to be able to advise you about the construction details of the equipment.

Important points to bear in mind:
– Test standards to be used.
The standards establish the environmental criteria to which the parts will be subjected. These standards establish temperature ranges, gradients and times.
– Type of sample to be tested.
The thermal behaviour of each material is different and may affect the performance of the equipment. For example, conditioning 23 kg of aluminium at negative temperatures costs more than conditioning 23 kg of cardboard, their specific heat is different and the heat release during the cycles will be different as well.
– Additional safeguards.
Also the type of specimen to be tested will define whether additional safety features are necessary in case the specimen may release volatile substances during the test or have elements that may explode. If the sample to be tested is very expensive, you will certainly want to protect it.
– Dimensions and number of samples to be tested.
To calculate the optimum chamber volume for your product by optimising the airflow.
– Sample weight.
Important in order to know the total thermal inertia. It is not the same to test 1 kilogram of cardboard than 1 ton of car, the climatic chamber must take into account this point to be reinforced or not.
– Dissipation capacity.
If the sample generates its own heat, the climatic chamber must compensate the energy generated, the mass and therefore must have more cooling capacity to be able to reach the test temperature points established in the standard.

With all these data, DYCOMETAL will be able to define the equipment that best suits your needs and offer you the most suitable climatic chamber for your product.

What would be the ideal volume (size) for your climate chamber?

When we are going to buy a chamber, the first point we usually take into account is the interior volume of the chamber that we are going to need to carry out the test. Each chamber usually has different dimensions in height, width or depth, but which chamber volume is optimal?

The volume of the chamber to be selected will depend on the size of the sample to be introduced and the number of samples to be tested in parallel. Testing one box is not the same as testing several boxes in parallel, which will take up much more space.

First of all, it is important to bear in mind that in order to condition the samples correctly, it is necessary for the air to move around them. Do not block the airflow of the fans at the back of the chamber. Sufficient free space should be left to allow fluid air movement. The standards set a minimum distance between sample and sample, and sample and chamber walls of 50 mm, but if more space is left, the samples will homogenise more quickly.

Also, do not select a chamber that has too much space around a sample, as the energy consumption of the chamber will be higher than what is really necessary. There is virtue in balance.

Therefore, when purchasing a climatic chamber, consider the amount of space you will really need, taking into account the sample(s) you will be testing.

HOW TO SELECT THE IDEAL CHAMBER TO YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS?

 When a company develops a new product and wants to test it to ensure quality and reliability, under the climatic conditions that it will withstand during its life use, transport or storage, it is time to select a climatic chamber to perform the test. What will be the criteria for choosing the chamber? Price, quality, options,…

Many people are tempted to buy equipment based solely on the cheapest price, but there are several points to take into consideration before making the final decision.

Quality, reliability and after-sales service will add value to your purchase. This will ensure a long lifetime of the climatic chamber, which will result in a lower cost of the equipment in the long run.

Nowadays there is a great variety of climatic chambers, so the application for which it is going to be used will determine the type of chamber you need to carry out the most appropriate tests. If you provide as much information as possible to our sales representatives, DYCOMETAL will select the best chamber for your application.

Before purchasing the chamber there are many questions to ask such as:
– Chamber volume
– Temperature ranges
– Humidity ranges
– Temperature gradients
– Standard to be applied
– Water-cooled or air-cooled
– etc…

All these questions will lead you to the chamber that best suits your testing needs.

HIGH GRADIENT THERMAL TEST CHAMBER FOR THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY, CETM-70/1500T-5

Did you know that there are small satellites with all the functions of a conventional satellite? Such satellites do exist, and they are widely used for missions in sectors such as communications, navigation and earth observation. Their advantage lies in the fact that they are easier to put into orbit, cheaper, but with large capacities. Femto-satellites or nano-satellites, as they are called, must also pass environmental tests to guarantee their operation in extreme conditions, which is where our environmental test chambers come into play.

Our CETM-70/1500T-5 is a high gradient climatic chamber specifically designed with gradients for a maximum of 5°C/min under load, so that samples can be subjected to a rapid thermal test. The chamber has 12 wall pass-throughs, 6 on each side of the chamber and was supplied with 3 reinforced trays in order to be able to test the maximum number of samples at the same time. In addition, the equipment is prepared to prevent the formation of water during the cooling/heating cycles. All this is controlled by a microprocessor with a 7″ colour touch screen.
