Topic: Innovative solutions for Battery pack & Cells protection
Innovative solutions for Battery pack & Cells protectionE-mobility current trend is moving very fast to hybrid or fully electric systems, where battery is a key component and play a major role in the system performance. There is a strong demand for new materials for 48V, 400V and 800V battery designs, which results in big challenges in product’s technical performance. Power level increase push to upgrade system’s properties like thermal dissipation & electrical insulation, to prevent from thermal runaway and increase battery lifetime. Additionally, productivity and environmental concerns play a pivotal role in pack design.To limit weight impact and provide perfect fire barrier to the cell, Elantas developed a complete range of Cells Spacer, based on Mica technology, with superior resistance to extreme Temperature and flames. Those composites products are showing big benefits for battery pack security and giving high productivity possibilities during the assembly process.Additionally to those Cells Spacer, Elantas also developed an innovative range of Thermal adhesives for Cells, Modules or Pack fixation, based on Polyurethan next generation technology. Those safety friendly adhesives are giving high Thermal dissipation from the Cells to cooling system, which improve Safety inside the Battery Pack. Its superior flexibility allow the system to resist to thermal shocks and vibrations without damaging Cells or Battery Pack.
