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.

Technology serving innovation

At DYCOMETAL, we are committed to robust engineering tailored to each customer’s specific needs. Our climatic chambers can be customized in volume, temperature range, temperature change rate, humidity levels, and safety components, allowing testing at the cell, module, or complete battery pack level.

The energy transition requires reliable solutions from the ground up — and in battery development, that begins with precise simulation of the most demanding scenarios.

We remain committed to quality, safety, and innovation to support our technology partners in building a more sustainable future.

LARGE VOLUME THERMAL SHOCK CHAMBER - 2500 LITRES, MODEL: CRT2H-40/2500

Thermal shock chambers are a fundamental element for the thermal fatigue testing of materials, equipment and automatisms. They are predominantly used in the following industries: aeronautics, automotive, military, electronics, telecommunications, space and, in general, in the materials research industry. The configuration of these chambers is usually vertical, but when the parts have a very large volume, it is necessary to opt for a horizontal design that allows the thermal shock to be carried out from right to left and vice versa.

The CRT2H-40/2500 thermal shock chamber was a great challenge for Dycometal, since few chambers with this volume have been manufactured, nor so demanding. The development of the chamber was carried out by our technical and design department with the customer, designing equipment in accordance with their requirements.
