Walk-In and Two DRACARYS Chambers for Power4Future

‎ ‎

Il Disgelo developed for Power4Future a battery-testing platform consisting of one 8.5 m³ Walk-In climatic chamber and two identical DOT DRACARYS-1500D chambers.

The three systems accommodate batteries and components with different dimensions and testing requirements, combining thermal-climatic control with dedicated safety systems for EUCAR 6 configurations.

‎

Developed Solution

The Walk-In chamber is intended for larger DUTs, while the two 1500 L DRACARYS units provide independent climatic test stations for batteries and smaller components.

The solution includes:

• 1 × 8.5 m³ Walk-In chamber;
• 2 × 1500 L DRACARYS-1500D chambers;
• thermal and climatic battery testing;
• EUCAR 6 safety configurations;
• CO, H₂ and O₂ monitoring;
• DUT thermal protection;
• door locking and safety interlocks;
• air exchange and purging systems;
• overpressure protection;
• water-mist fire suppression system;
• CliMaLogic® control;
• Ethernet, VNC Viewer and Modbus TCP/IP.
