Energy storage container rain test

What is a water spray test at TLS Energy International?

By simulating extreme environmental conditions, TLS Energy International can identify potential vulnerabilities and address them before the containers are deployed in the field. The water spray test at TLS Energy International involves subjecting the BESS container to controlled water spray under various pressures and angles.

What is a water spray test?

TLS Energy International, a leader in the design and manufacture of BESS containers, integrates thorough testing procedures into their production process to ensure that each product meets the highest standards. Among these tests, the water spray test stands out as a key method for verifying the container’s ability to resist water ingress.

How does water spraying affect energy storage system performance?

Corrosion, rust, or electrical malfunctions caused by water exposure can significantly impact the performance of the energy storage system. The water spraying test ensures that the container remains sealed, allowing the BESS to function optimally and maintain its performance over time.

How many ESS unit racks are in a standard size container?

Each test included a mocked-up initiating ESS unit rack and two target ESS unit racks installed within a standard size 6.06 m (20 ft) International Organization for Standardization (ISO) container. All tests were conducted with an identical LIB configuration.

What are the dimensions of a simulated ESS container?

ISO container The simulated ESS was constructed in a standard 6.06 m (20 ft) International Organization for Standardization (ISO) shipping container. The standard exterior dimensions of such a shipping container are 2.43 m (8 ft) wide, 2.59 m (8.5 ft) high, and 6.06 m (20 ft) long.

How does a thermal runaway test work?

Each test began by energizing a flexible film heater wrapped around an individual 18650 cell in the initiating mock-up cell. The instrumented 18650 cell was heated at a rate of 6°C/min to initiate thermal runaway. Heating continued at this rate until thermal runaway was observed, at which point the heater was de-energized.
