HEL provides calorimetry instruments for measurement of heat generated both under thermal runaway conditions (ARC-type device) and under controlled, isothermal operation. The data can be used to assess safety limits such as maximum safe environment temperature, limits on discharge rate and maximum safe overcharging – all of which is useful data for confirming battery models as well as defining battery operating limits. HEL’s isothermal calorimeter measures heat generation rate during battery charging/discharging at any selected temperature and different discharge rates. This information can be directly used to design thermal management systems as well as providing further data for improvement of models.
