Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
Designed to accurately measure the thermophysical properties of cylinder and pouch type batteries. Test entire battery system or battery components.
Cylinder type batteries consist of sheets of anodes, separators and cathodes that are rolled into a cylinder shape and packed into a can.
The round shape maximizes strength and stability, making it one of the most popular batteries manufactured.
Prismatic batteries consist of sheets of anodes, separators and cathodes that are rolled into a cylinder shape and packed into a cubic form.
Pouch batteries have similar construction sealed in a lightweight foil.
One of our qualified team members will reach out to you to offer a price that fits your needs.
The Transient Plane Source Battery Package includes the Specific Heat Module, 1-Dimensional Module and Anisotropic Module
Included with the Specific Heat Module for batteries is one standard cylinder Cp Cell, a TPS Sensor and Battery Insulation Block. Custom Cp Cells can also be developed for a wide range of battery sizes.
Empty Cp Cell Reference Setup
The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity are measured along the height of a cylinder with the 1-Dimensional (1-D) Module.
A TPS Sensor of similar diameter is set-up in a single-sided (asymmetric) configuration. Using the Battery Insulation Block, the battery is insulated to guard against lateral heat loss.
Included with the 1-D Module for batteries is one TPS Sensor and a Battery Insulation Block. Custom TPS sensors can also be developed for a wide range of battery sizes.
1-D Setup for Cylinder (Type 21700) Battery
1-D Setup using the Battery Block Insulation
The thermal conductivity is measured along axial and radial directions.
A TPS sensor is set-up in a single-sided (asymmetric) configuration. The Battery Insulation Block provides known backing insulation for single-sided (asymmetric) configuration.
Anisotropic Set-up for Cylinder (Type 21700) Battery with Battery Insulation Block
Specific heat capacity is measured with the TPS Specific Heat Module with a Cp Cell designed for Prismatic – Pouch shapes. A reference measurement is completed on an empty Cp cell, followed by a measurement with an inserted battery. Results are measured in Heat Capacity (J/K), Specific Heat (kJ/kg-K) and Volumetric Specific Heat (MJ/m³K).
Included with the Specific Module for batteries is one standard Prismatic – Pouch Cp Cell, TPS Sensor. Custom Cp Cells can also be developed for a wide range of battery sizes.
The Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity are measured along the height of a Prismatic – Pouch shapes with the 1-Dimensional (1-D) Module. 1-D Prismatic.
TPS Sensor of similar dimensions is set-up in single-sided (asymmetric) configuration.
Included with the 1-D Module for batteries is one TPS Sensor. Custom TPS diameter can also be developed for a wide range of battery sizes (up to 250 x 250 mm).
The thermal conductivity is measured along axial and radial directions.
A TPS sensor can be set-up in the following configurations:
Single-sided (Asymmetric)
Two-Sided (Symmetric)
Integrated (Pouch Only)
*Can be expanded 300 °C if required.
