What is a battery vacuum oven?

Vacuum oven for battery testing

Use a vacuum pump to extract the gas inside the vacuum oven, creating a low-pressure or vacuum environment. Such an environment is beneficial for conducting thermal testing, degassing, drying, aging, etc. for batteries.

Create a clean testing environment:

By removing the gas inside the oven, the presence of pollutants is reduced, ensuring a clean testing environment. This is particularly advantageous for batteries that are susceptible to impurities or may react with atmospheric gases.

More precise temperature control:

The vacuum or low-pressure environment reduces heat transfer resistance, enabling more effective temperature control, which is advantageous for various battery thermal tests.

Degassing and drying:

During the formation of a low-pressure environment, not only can it promote the release of gases, but also, as pressure decreases, the boiling point of liquids decreases, facilitating battery drying.

Aging or long-term testing:

The low-oxygen environment of the vacuum drying oven reduces the possibility of oxidation reactions, improving the stability of battery aging or long-term testing processes.

Nitrogen vacuum oven

For certain battery tests, such as lithium-ion batteries, to ensure safety during testing, a nitrogen-filled vacuum oven may be used. By introducing nitrogen gas, the oxygen concentration is reduced, creating a low-oxygen or oxygen-free environment, thereby minimizing the risk of oxidation or combustion during the testing process.

In addition to the battery industry, vacuum ovens are also widely used in medical, biological, chemical, electronics, materials and other industries. Different industries have different needs for vacuum ovens. It is recommended to customize a suitable vacuum drying oven based on specific testing requirements.
