Thermal Propagation Test Bench with Multi Pouch Cell Setup for Reproducibility Investigations

Thermal propagation events of the traction batteries in electric vehicles are rare. However, their impact on the passengers in form of fire, smoke and heat can be severe. Current data on the dependencies and the reproducibility of thermal propagation is limited despite these major implications. Ther...

description Thermal propagation events of the traction batteries in electric vehicles are rare. However, their impact on the passengers in form of fire, smoke and heat can be severe. Current data on the dependencies and the reproducibility of thermal propagation is limited despite these major implications. Therefore, a thermal propagation test bench was developed for custom multi pouch experiments. This setup includes a multitude of temperature sensors throughout the module, voltage monitoring and a mass flow sensor. Two distinct experiments were initiated by nail penetration. These show a high degree of reproducibility thus allowing for future experiments regarding the dependencies of initial module temperatures and State of Charge (SoC) variations.
