Thermal Runaway Test Guidelines for Battery Enclosures

This document provides guidelines for conducting thermal runaway tests on battery enclosures. It emphasizes checking the temperature chamber temperature table to ensure it does not exceed the ring spray temperature of 97°C. The document advises against including any battery or hard block inside the target enclosure that could undergo thermal runaway. It also highlights the importance of considering equipment that affects airflow and test results within the test installation scope. The external thermocouple method is referenced as a key technique for accurate temperature measurement. Additionally, the document cautions against frequent mention of business names, trademarks, or brand names in test documentation. These guidelines aim to ensure safe and accurate testing of battery enclosures under thermal runaway conditions, focusing on temperature control, equipment placement, and measurement methods to maintain test integrity and safety.
