ForTest, a forefront provider in leak test solutions, has recently unveiled the Dual Absolute T8090, an innovative instrument tailored to enhance the testing of electric car equipment, thereby improving their performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Various electric car components, including batteries, circuits, cooling systems, and packs, are susceptible to leaks. Ensuring these elements are leak-proof is essential to prevent user dissatisfaction and significant loss. Particularly in off-road vehicles, waterproof battery packs are critical to prevent dust from entering the components, which could lead to performance and safety issues.
Leak testing of auto parts has become an integral component of the production system for car manufacturers and suppliers, aiming to boost stability and efficiency. With electric vehicles’ surging popularity, there is an increasing need for more comprehensive leakage testing of battery packs and charging stations, requiring leak test instruments to adhere to superior performance criteria.
ForTest has responded to these challenges by creating the Dual Absolute T8090, an innovative automobile leak testing equipment that merges the conventional absolute-decay approach with a differential system’s accuracy and sensitivity.
Historically, electric car components are tested using methods like pressure decay, classical differential, and visual inspection. Yet, these methods can be slow and unreliable, often missing crucial leaks in battery packs and other components, which can lead to serious quality and safety issues.
The introduction of the Dual Absolute T8090 technology promises to revolutionise automobile production rates. Its unique feature allows simultaneous testing of two components, reducing cycle times by half using its safe zero center mode.
The Dual Absolute T8090 distinguishes itself with ultra-sensitive sensors for detecting faults and measurements, similar to those in classical differential systems, making it highly advantageous for the automotive e-mobility sector. Additionally, it boasts an advantage over traditional differential instruments, as it does not necessitate periodic maintenance due to its optimised circuitry and efficient parts.
Traditional capacitive differential systems, vulnerable to humidity, can cause extensive battery damage and incur significant costs. The Dual Absolute T8090, however, utilises a Solid-State Measure (SSM) that is immune to humidity, thus circumventing the need for the expensive compressed air filtering systems required by traditional methods.
