Industry: Specialty Chemicals & Advanced Materials
Testing Application: High-Volume, High-Density Battery Cell Validation
A leading innovator in the specialty chemicals and advanced materials sector approached Associated Environmental Systems (AES) in need of a high-volume, space-efficient battery test system to perform precise temperature-controlled validation across hundreds of channels simultaneously.
The Challenge? Maximizing testing throughput by supporting large-scale, simultaneous cell testing within a limited laboratory footprint—all while maintaining precise thermal stability from -20°C to 80°C during fast-charging cycles.
The AES Solution
AES engineered the SC-508-4-SAFE Temperature Only Battery Test Chamber system, a high-density, stackable testing network built to meet the unique demands of the application.
- High-Throughput Testing Capacity: The solution deploys 8 chambers in a single laboratory, each equipped with patented ATPPRIME 20A fixtures. With 96 channels per chamber, the setup allows the client to validate an impressive 768 battery cells concurrently.
- Precision Thermal Simulation: Each 8.64 cu. ft. workspace maintains an airtight temperature range of -20°C to 80°C with an exceptional stability of ±0.5°C. This ensures consistent, uniform testing conditions even when dense configurations of 96 fast-charging cells generate localized thermal loads.
- AESONE CONNECT® Instrumentation: Integrated hardware features a 4.3-inch touchscreen programmable controller paired with the AESONE CONNECT® platform. This provides seamless remote monitoring, secure data logging, and an HTTP JSON API over Ethernet to easily integrate testing workflows into existing laboratory systems.
- Space-Saving Double-Stacked Footprint: To overcome severe facility space constraints, the chambers are paired with ruggedized double-stack floor stands featuring locking casters. This vertical architecture doubles the testing capacity per square foot without sacrificing safety or accessibility.
Crafting Your Perfect Test Set-Up
This solution was custom-engineered to meet advanced materials testing demands in scaling battery cell validation within a highly confined laboratory space.
By combining vertical double-stacked chamber configurations, high-density 96-channel ATP fixtures, and ultra-stable thermal control, AES delivered a system that seamlessly accelerates development cycles and ensures the ultimate reliability of next-generation chemical and material compounds. This project highlights AES’s commitment to designing advanced, customized test solutions that help engineers push boundaries—supporting innovation in the energy storage sector and beyond.
