Climatic Systems for Battery and EV Component Testing
Il Disgelo developed for COMAU Electrification a platform dedicated to battery and e-mobility system testing, consisting of two 85.7 m³ Walk-In chambers and multiple 1450 L DOT DRACARYS chambers in EUCAR 6 configuration.
The project combines thermal control, management of high heat loads and dedicated safety systems for battery testing.
Developed Solution
The two Walk-In chambers are intended for testing larger systems, while the DRACARYS units support different thermal profiles and battery-testing programs.
The solution integrates:
- 2 Walk-In chambers of 85.7 m³;
- 3 DRACARYS-H-1450A-W EUCAR 6 units;
- 7 DRACARYS-H-1450C-FX2.5-W EUCAR 6 units;
- H₂, CO and O₂ detection;
- ATEX ventilation and air exchange;
- overpressure protection devices;
- electromagnetic door locking;
- parameter monitoring and data logging;
- Ethernet and Modbus TCP/IP connectivity.
