This technical information report (IR) presents a methodology to evaluate battery pack liquid leak tightness attributes to be used in a production line to satisfy the functional requirement for IPX7, water ingress requirement, and no sustainable coolant leakage for coolant circuits. The Equivalent Channel Method is used as a suggested production leak tightness requirement for a given battery pack design that will correlate and assure that the battery pack meets or exceeds its functional requirement. Obtaining the specific geometry of the Equivalent Channel (EC) for a given battery pack is done analytically and empirically in consideration of the product design limitations. This document is a precursor to J3277-1, which will present the practices to qualify that product leak tightness is equal or better than the maximum allowed EC for that product using applicable and commercially available leak test technologies. This document may be applied to EV and HEV battery packs as tested during

The hydrogen supply system of a fuel cell truck is in a semi-enclosed space where hydrogen is easy to accumulate if a hydrogen leak occurs. The acquisition of hydrogen dispersion behavior data is essential to support the detection of hydrogen release. The purpose of this article is to present the characteristics of hydrogen concentration distribution and delay time of hydrogen leakage detection under different leakage parameters. The experiments have been performed in a hydrogen storage cabin with six hydrogen sensors arranged on the roof to measure hydrogen concentration. During the tests, hydrogen was released into the test cabin through standard leaks. Two different release rates (80 NL/min and 450 NL/min), three different release positions, and six release directions are investigated to analyze the effects on the distribution of hydrogen concentration and leakage detection delay time. This article presents both the experimental facility and results. The experimental results can

This SAE Standard provides the testing and functional requirements guidance necessary for a leak detection device that uses any non-A/C refrigerant tracer gas, such as helium or a nitrogen-hydrogen blend, to provide functional performance equivalent to a refrigerant electronic leak detector. It explains how a non-refrigerant leak detector’s calibration can be established to provide levels of detection equal to electronic leak detectors that meet SAE J2791 for R-134a and SAE J2913 for R-1234yf

Lithium-ion battery systems are an energy source for a variety of electric-vehicle applications due to their high energy density and low discharge rates. Battery packs, whether made of prismatic, cylindrical, or pouch cells, are cooled by common automotive thermal management systems
Lithium-ion battery systems are an energy source for a variety of electric-vehicle applications due to their high energy density and low discharge rates. Battery packs, whether made of prismatic, cylindrical or pouch cells, are cooled by common automotive thermal management systems. The rapid detection of battery pack coolant-system leaks during production operations is essential for meeting necessary safety and service-life requirements. Industry standards for measuring leak rates for both glycol-based and refrigerant-based cooling systems, however, currently do not exist. This presentation will discuss how leaks in water-glycol cooling circuits can be detected reliably and quantitatively through detection of escaping test gas as an indicator of ethylene glycol leaks and how the test gas leak rates correlate to the liquid leakage of the cooling liquid. Influencing variables such as leakage channel diameter, pressure difference and viscosity are considered, and go/no-go leak rates are

The “system emissions chart” contained herein is intended to serve as a means of estimating the annual refrigerant emission rate (grams per year) from new production A/C systems equipped with specified component technologies. It provides emission values for various component technologies that are currently available, and can be expanded as new technologies are commercialized. This document provides the information to develop an Excel file template “system emissions chart” for system emission analysis. The chart includes automotive compressor technologies for conventional mobile air conditioning systems, as well as those using semi-hermetic compressors. This standard can be considered a companion document to SAE J2763. SAE J2727 estimates system emissions, taking into account production assembly variation and accounts for components that are 100% helium leak tested prior to vehicle final assembly. The results from SAE J2064 are used to better represent permeation emissions from

In current competitive environment automobile industry is under heavy pressure to reduce time to market. First time right design is an important aspect to achieve the time and cost targets. CAE is a tool which helps designer to come up with first time right design. This also calls for high degree of confidence in CAE simulation results which can only be achieved by undertaking correlation exercises. Fuel tank is one of the important system in vehicle. At the validation stage leak test is carried out to find the leakage in the tank. This test is regulatory requirement which also ensures that the spot weld joineries have sufficient strength. Same test was mapped in CAE and high stress locations were identified. In test, strain gauging was done at the three selected locations. Paper highlights the test vs. CAE strain correlation and its finding. The effect of thinning is also discussed for the strain correlation of fuel tank

Thin films and vacuum technology are used frequently throughout advanced, environmentally friendly automobile manufacturing. From automotive light-weighting of conventional ICE automobiles, to hybrid and EV manufacturing, thin films deposited in vacuum systems, vacuum heat-treating, and vacuum leak testing are a major part of automotive device, component and sub-assembly manufacturing. Starting with new applications of polycarbonate glazing by plasma coating, which provides lower CO₂ emissions, greater design freedom and cost reduction through parts consolidation. For high-strength, light-weight automotive steel stampings used in chassis and body parts, wear-resistant coatings are applied in vacuum systems to provide wear protection and to extend the stamping die lifetimes. Thin film vacuum equipment is also used for the manufacturing of: control circuits, film capacitors (EVs, PHEVs and HEVs), power ICs (hybrids), sensors (air bag, tire pressure, etc.), secondary batteries (EVs

O-rings are regularly utilized as a means of creating a seal between two components. Since the introduction of mini-concentric fuel pressure regulators, several issues have arisen related to assembly. In many cases, severe leaks are masked by lubricants used to aid in assembly. A lubricant is required which will not mask such leaks. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact on assembly between alcohol and oil based lubricants and to determine the optimum assembly parameters when using alcohol lubricants. Several variables were identified as being major contributors to the assembly process. A total of 6 variables were chosen to be examined as well as 2 noise factors. Each variable, or factor, was assigned several levels for this experiment. Several measurables were defined outputs from the experiment. To maximize the efficiency of testing, an orthogonal array was used to structure the experiment. An L18 orthogonal array was chosen composed of 72 trials. When conducting a

Determination of appropriate leak tightness specifications for production leak testing of fuel system components has challenged the automotive industry for many years. This process has become more complicated as hydrocarbon emission regulations have been lowered (US-EPA, CARB LEVII, Euro5, etc.). Application of the equivalent channel (EC) concept can significantly simplify the process of determining leak tightness specifications. This paper describes the test procedure and results of a hydrocarbon emission study designed to define a critical geometry (known as Equivalent Channel-EC) that will plug after exposure to gasoline, resulting in no HC emission due to leaks during Vehicle SHED (Sealed Housing for Evaporative Determination) tests. This critical geometry will stop any measurable hydrocarbon leakage after enough time has elapsed for the channel to plug. Micro-channels of several diameters and lengths were tested in a Micro-SHED at 40 degrees Celsius for 24 hours. SHED tests were

Herschel is the fourth cornerstone mission in the European Space Agency (ESA) science programme. It will perform imaging photometry and spectroscopy in the far infrared and submillimetre part of the spectrum, covering the 57-670 µm wavelength range. This successor of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) is scheduled to be launched by an Ariane 5 in 2007. Once operational Herschel will offer a minimum of three years of routine observations. EADS-ASTRIUM, in charge of the Extended Payload Module, has involved AIR LIQUIDE in the design and manufacturing of major components of the spacecraft cryostat: the two Helium Tanks, all Thermal Links [1.6 K - 9 K], the Optical Bench Helium Cooling Loop, the three Thermal Shields and all the Helium System Tubing from the tanks to the Cryostat Vacuum Vessel. All these elements contribute to the final aim of the system to provide the required cold environment to the Herschel Focal Plane Units. This paper presents the items provided by AIR LIQUIDE, from
