Temperature Chamber for Charge/
Discharge Testing
BTC series
Provides safety and security, which is essential for testing the
charge and discharge of rechargeable batteries.
As batteries become increasingly high capacity for the full-scale use of EVs, further safety is required in preparation for emergency events during charge/discharge tests. This temperature chamber is specially designed for rechargeable battery charging and discharging applications and can be tested safely and reliably.

Features
Equipped with various safety functions as standard.
Protecting customers and surrounding equipment.
We designed and set the chamber strength and safety functions through explosion experiments using actual batteries.
The pressure relief vent adopts a large size of 300 x 700 mm, which can quickly release the pressure inside the chamber in the event of an event and reduce damage to the chamber. This is our first chamber to use a toggle clamp latch to securely lock the door with the ease of operation and no compromise in safety. BTC, designed with ease of use and safety in mind.
Long-term continuous operation possible with frost-free function.
Charge/discharge tests are generally performed in a temperature environment of 0°C to +40°C. Equipped with a frost-free function that enables long-term continuous operation of +10°C or higher, frost on the refrigerator is prevented and continuous operation is possible without interrupting the test.
Selection of air flow direction minimizes temperature difference between batteries.
At the time of purchase, you can select the airflow from "horizontal" or "vertical," depending on the shape and quantity of the cells and how you set them in the chamber. Rechargeable battery performance and characteristics are susceptible to temperature. Therefore, you want all cells under test to be touching the airflow as evenly as possible to keep the temperature difference among cells to a minimum.
The airflow orientation selection would allow exactly that.
Improved layout freedom with the charge / discharge test system.
Cable ports for drawing cables from the charge / discharge test system into the chamber are standard equipped on the back side(φ100 mm x 4) and the left and right sides (W400 x 100 mm x 1 each).
Therefore, free layout with the charge / discharge test system is possible.
In addition, the floor load capacity in the chamber is 300 kg, which is strong enough to install jig for battery installation and a large number of batteries.
Improved customizability
Standardized options for functions frequently adopted in charge/discharge chambers for rechargeable batteries.
The operation logic of the safety function is also standardized, so you can select it safely even when it is introduced for the first time.
It is also available with optional retrofitting after delivery, enabling flexible response when changing the type and conditions of the batteries to be tested.
