Safety features
The Hercules TR Chamber is equipped with advanced safety systems
to ensure secure operation:
pressure monitoring & safety circuit: monitors up to 10 bar with automatic
intervention.
overpressure valves: automatically open at 10 bar and reseal when
pressure drops.
SPS safety circuits: prevent operation during setup or loading.
inertization inlets: create oxygen-free environments for safe testing.
controlled pressure release: safety valves discharge pressure in case
of emergencies.
extraction hood & bypass: contamination-free gas extraction in regular
operation.
maintainable spark protection system: to prevent of oxy-hydrogen
explosions.
fail-safe pressure venting: ensures safe access by releasing pressure
and venting the chamber in case of a system or power failure.
ARC-like test possibility and gas chromatography analysis
Whether testing individual battery cells, multi-cell stacks, or entire battery modules, the
TR Chamber is equipped to handle a broad spectrum of testing requirements. It supports
ARC-like tests, simulating extreme conditions that are crucial for assessing battery safety.
With the capability to heat the entire chamber volume up to 80 °C for these tests, it replicates
critical conditions that batteries may face during thermal events.
