Battery system gasket function

Why do batteries need gaskets?

Opening the housing usually destroys the gasket because it sticks to the lid or the housing. This causes battery maintenance problems because in order to seal the housing again, a new lid with sprayed-on gasket is required. This is the reason why large-scale gaskets are used when tough technical requirements need to be met.

What are EV gaskets used for?

The most prominent application in EVs is sealing a battery pack housing, followed by gasketing for power conversion electronics such as inverters, along with motors and other components of an electric drivetrain.

Why do EV batteries need sealing & gasketing adhesives?

While assembling an EV battery pack comprised of various materials, as an automotive OEM and battery manufacturer, you know that the chosen sealing and gasketing adhesives play an important role for enclosure and it also helps to meet its overall performance and serviceability needs.

What is a battery housing gasket?

Battery housing gasket solutions, left optimized flat gasket for mass production with locking pins and a circumference of around 2 m, right profile-based gasket for smaller lot sizes and/or very large housing dimensions Liquid gaskets are easily applied in full automation with existing equipment and are therefore frequently used.

What are electric vehicle battery gaskets?

Electric vehicle battery gaskets provide environmental sealing and thermal insulation. They may also provide fire protection and shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). EV battery gaskets are made of rubbers, or elastomers, that impart specific properties, such as chemical resistance.

What is a coolant system gasket?

Coolant system gaskets Large-scale battery systems require intelligent tempera-ture management, which has two tasks: First, it dissipates heat from the cells and therefore protects them from overheating. Second, it enables cell heating at low temperatures.
