Aerogel Pads
Aerogel Pads from LHJ Global are designed to enhance the performance and safety of both electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) through advanced thermal management and fire protection. Leveraging the exceptional properties of aerogels, these pads are highly effective in various critical applications within EV batteries, ESS, and other components. Key applications include:
-
Battery Thermal InsulationAerogel Pads are crucial for managing heat within electric vehicle (EV) batteries and energy storage systems (ESS). They provide superior thermal insulation that helps maintain optimal operating temperatures during charging and discharging cycles. This insulation minimizes heat transfer between individual cells and modules, thus reducing the risk of thermal runaway and improving overall battery performance and lifespan.
-
Cell-to-Cell InsulationBy wrapping aerogel pads around battery cells, heat transfer from one cell to another is effectively prevented. This ensures stable thermal conditions within the battery pack, enhancing both safety and efficiency in both EV batteries and ESS.
-
Module-to-Module and Battery Pack InsulationLarger aerogel pads are utilized to insulate entire battery modules and packs. This comprehensive insulation is essential for protecting sensitive components from excessive heat and ensuring uniform temperature regulation across the battery system, whether in EVs or ESS.
-
Thermal BarriersAerogel Pads act as heat shields within the battery pack, safeguarding critical components from high temperatures. Their excellent thermal resistance contributes to effective heat dissipation, preventing overheating and maintaining the integrity of the battery system in both EVs and ESS.
-
Gap FillersIn addition to insulation, aerogel pads serve as gap fillers between battery cells and modules. They enhance thermal management by filling voids and ensuring consistent insulation coverage, which improves the overall thermal performance of the battery pack in EVs and ESS.
-
Fire ProtectionAerogel Pads offer high fire resistance, with the ability to withstand extreme temperatures up to 1,300°C (2,372°F). They help prevent the spread of fire within the battery pack, providing an additional layer of safety in the event of a thermal incident or battery fault for both EVs and ESS.
