CIPG process used to seal cell module controllers
Battery sensors are responsible for monitoring temperature, current, voltage and then informing the battery management system (BMS). It plays a large role in assessing the performance of electric vehicle batteries.
High viscous liquid sealants are used during production to ensure the batteries are protected from exposure to external impurities that may damage the sensitive electric components inside. This protects the battery from dust, moisture, road salt and any other stresses that may be put on the battery such as temperature.
Michael Smith launches turbine pumps with hermetic sealing
The latest addition to Michael Smith's extensive range of high-performance pumps, this innovation is designed for application across industries, including oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, aviation, and renewable energy.
