Maximizing Battery Reliability with BONAD Thermal Shock Test Chambers
Batteries powering electric vehicles, renewable energy storage systems, and portable electronic devices are consistently exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations during operation, transportation, and storage. These rapid changes can lead to hidden defects, reduced lifespan, and critical safety hazards like thermal runaway. To mitigate these risks, thermal shock testing has become a non-negotiable phase in battery manufacturing and validation.
BONAD Thermal Shock Test Chambers are engineered specifically to meet these challenges. Offering extreme temperature ranges from +220°C to –70°C, rapid transition times under 3 seconds, and recovery in less than 5 minutes, BONAD ensures high precision, repeatability, and safety for battery testing across scales—from small cells to full battery packs.
Reliable, Precise, and Safe Thermal Shock Testing with BONAD
BONAD offers two primary types of thermal shock chambers designed to simulate real-world conditions:
Two-Zone Thermal Shock Chambers
These chambers transfer battery samples vertically between extreme hot and cold zones in less than 3 seconds. With quick temperature recovery within 5 minutes, they enable high-accuracy accelerated testing without sample damage.
Three-Zone Thermal Shock Chambers
Ideal for larger, heavier, or fragile batteries such as EV packs, these chambers use pneumatic dampers to alternate hot and cold air around a stationary sample. This eliminates physical movement and reduces handling risks.
Both chamber types are constructed with SUS304 stainless steel interiors for corrosion resistance, include anti-condensation technology, and are equipped with multi-layer safety interlocks.
