Gore introduced a technology on the 19th that will help future automotive battery packs achieve flexible and free designs, including battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (BEV / PHEV). GORE battery pack low-voltage protection products suitable for battery packs can solve the inherent problems of lithium-ion battery components and battery packs, enabling battery packs to achieve flexible and free design. At this week's European Battery Show in Stuttgart, Germany, Gore will showcase the new technology.
Automotive battery components are often placed in battery packs that require a lot of space, volume, and weight. According to data shared by the European Battery Show last year, battery pack materials accounted for nearly 24% of the total cost of lithium-ion batteries in 2016. The new GORE automotive waterproof and breathable products will help a new generation of battery packs, reducing their size, weight and cost.
GORE battery pack low voltage protection products combine three of the most important protection functions in one. First, this new waterproof and breathable product uses a flexible breathable membrane that supports extremely low opening pressure and has a recoverable over-pressure bypass function. Excessive pressure difference between the inside and outside of the battery pack may deform the lightweight battery pack shell and even cause seal failure, and the product can quickly alleviate the pressure difference under normal or severe working conditions. Overvoltage related to thermal runaway of a single battery or module; Finally, the newly launched GORE battery pack low pressure protection product can promote pressure balance and protect the battery pack from water, dirt and dust, which makes it reliable and durable In terms of sex, Gore's products have always been at the same level, keeping the lead.
Other water and dust resistance solutions are designed to burst on their own when the specified overpressure is reached. This one-time pressure release action will cause openings in the battery pack, causing moisture or other debris to enter, and may cause electrical problems, causing battery failure and heat diffusion. The new technology used in GORE battery pack low-voltage protection products combines innovative technology with waterproof design to make the battery pack design lighter and leaner without sacrificing the product's protection function against harsh environmental conditions.
Dr. Peter Hils, Product Manager, Gore, said: "We have always heard that designing quality battery packs with reasonable weight and reasonable cost is a constant challenge for designers. GORE battery pack low voltage protection products are Exciting progress. Now they can use thinner, lighter, and lower cost materials to design more reliable battery packs that will have a positive impact on future traffic, creating a cleaner, safer and smarter world."
It is reported that this Gore battery pack low-voltage protection product has made its debut at the European Battery Show held in Germany. On July 5, the 2019 New Energy Power Battery Safety Technology Forum will begin in Shanghai. Gore will also share its new battery pack low-voltage protection solution with the industry to discuss topics such as battery pack safety, design and development.
