ESPEC

ESPEC has been a world-leading manufacturer of environmental test chambers for reliability and durability testing for more than 50 years. The company has a full line-up of products ranging from true-benchtop to walk-in and drive-in chambers to accommodate various test samples and quantities. It has served customers in multiple industries, from textiles and materials to electronics, automotive and aerospace.

The company also modifies its chambers according to customers’ requirements. A current hot topic is the testing of lithium-ion batteries. ESPEC has been involved with their development since before their commercial introduction to the market in 1991. Since then, ESPEC has worked with its customers to support extensive performance improvements.

As a result, batteries are now widely used in everything from mobile phones to battery-powered vehicles and aircraft, storing enormous amounts of energy in a small package. This increase in stored power requires safety enhancements in standard chambers. Specifically for automotive industries, battery cells are often categorized according to the EUCAR hazard level based on their behavior in severe conditions. With its long history of experience in the industry, ESPEC has developed a list of recommended safety features depending on the cells’ behavior.
