BOSTON, May 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Thermal runaway in electric vehicles (EVs) is a major concern for potential consumers, manufacturers and regulators, as thermal runaway of lithium ion batteries is the main cause of fires in EVs. Several high-profile vehicle fires, stationary energy storage fires in South Korea and bus fires in China have made headlines in recent years. On the 12^th of May 2020, China issued three mandatory standards for the safety of electric vehicles and their batteries. These new standards are set to be enforced as of January 2021. The three new standards that are to be enforced relate to the EV battery, the EV itself and electric buses. The battery regulations emphasise an improvement in battery system safety regarding thermal diffusion, external fire, mechanical shock, simulated collision, thermal and humidity cycling, external short circuit, overcharge and over-temperature. This covers the main causes of thermal runaway or fires in batteries. In addition to these points, thermal runaway of one cell should cause no fire or explosion in the cabin for at least 5 minutes, allowing for occupants to escape the vehicle. The battery system is required to notify the vehicle occupants of a thermal incident immediately. More stringent requirements for preventing water ingress, ensuring proper insulation and battery monitoring are also included. An electric bus naturally has a larger battery and the new standards have more rigorous demands on battery casing collision, charging and water ingress. The standards request for appraisal of the flame-retardant performance, thermal runaway prevention and the battery management unit. Whilst China may be the first to enforce these types of regulations, it is very likely that other countries will also be following in the near future.

 

 

Until now specific EV safety regulations have been voluntary to comply to, this has led to a wide variety of battery design and thermal management strategies across the various EV sectors to date. According to IDTechEx’s research outlined in «Thermal Management for Electric Vehicles 2020-2030» over 500 GWh of electric vehicle batteries will be liquid cooled by 2030, however, this leaves much of the market utilising other methods. Manufacturers have varied between cylindrical, pouch and prismatic cells with air, water-glycol, or refrigerant based cooling. As regulations like these are enforced it may well push the industry towards one solution. For example, preventing propagation of thermal runaway between individual cylindrical cells is much more difficult than between separate pouches. Emerging technologies like immersion cooling, where the cells are immersed in a flame-retardant dielectric fluid may start to take a larger share of the market. Detecting thermal events in vehicles is also a widely unexplored area of the market, there are several potential solutions to detection of a thermal event, including temperature spikes, gas ejection and voltage drops to name a few. Another consideration is how to notify passengers and if an active method of extinguishing the battery pack is incorporated into the design. Crucially, all the methods have their limitations and it is imperative to avoid false positives and potentially extinguish a battery which is working correctly, as this is often the most expensive component in the vehicle.

Finally, these new standards open large potential opportunities in materials for battery enclosures. The materials not only have to effectively contain a fire, but must also prevent water ingress and have a strategy to deal with a puncture of or damage to the enclosure. All of this whilst also meeting the lightweight and environmentally friendly requirements of EV manufacturers.

In summary, standards like the ones announced for China will start to be enforced around the world. As this occurs, manufacturers will have to either adapt their current designs or develop new ones. The timeframe in China’s case is also very short, especially with COVID-19 currently slowing down the automotive industry. This opens many opportunities for materials and sensors suppliers but also for industries relating to the simulation and design of battery packs for electric vehicles.

The current strategies for EV battery design, thermal management and fire safety are covered in the IDTechEx report «Thermal Management for Electric Vehicles 2020-2030«. Additionally, emerging technologies and trends in the automotive industry are explored in depth with regards to the batteries, but also the electric motor and power electronics.

• 4,000-ton XGC88000 Crawler Crane Lifts the Largest EO/EG Wash Tower in the World
• 2,000-ton XGC28000 Hoisted Asia’s Largest Single-caliber, Fully Mobile Antenn

XUZHOU, China, May 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — XGC88000, the 4,000-ton crawler crane of XCMG (SHE: 000425), has set a new world record as it completed a 2,000-ton EO/EG washing tower hoisting operation for the Gulei Refining and Chemical Integration Project recently in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province.

The 2,000-ton EO/EG washing tower has a diameter of 9 meters and total height of 102 meters, the specifications of which are the largest in the world. The XGC88000 welded two parts of the tower body seamlessly at a height of 50 meters (164 feet).

The docking and installation of the upper half of the tower require extremely high levels of precision, and XGC88000 was able to finely adjust the position and minimize the fluctuation to ensure the vertical deviation of the two sections was less than 20 millimeters.

The XGC88000 made its overseas debut of hoisting a 1,926-ton washing tower last year in Saudi Arabia and went on to complete a hoisting operation of 15 parts for Duqm Oil Refinery project of Oman Oil in Oman.

«XCMG is always in pursuit of reaching the higher and stronger goals, the XGC88000 has worked on a dozen of major petrochemical projects overseas and set new records one after another. The landmark achievements will further expand XCMG’s presence in the international market and inspire our company to continue to strive for excellence,» said Wang Min, Chairman of XCMG.

On April 25, XCMG’s 2,000-ton crawler crane XGC28000 successfully hoisted the main reflection surface for the 70-meter high-performance receiving antenna constructed by the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), a key equipment to receive data coming from missions on Mars. The project will be Asia’s largest single-caliber, fully mobile antenna.

Meanwhile, XCMG’s V7 mixers recently participated in the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge construction, another significant infrastructure project that’s setting eight world records including the world’s largest and widest two-way eight-lane tunnel.

Furthermore, five XCP330HG (7525-18) and two XGT8020-12 tower cranes that have been working on the construction of Wenzhou-Xintian-Yangtze River Bridge, witnessing the capping of the super bridge, which is the largest two-tower single-span steel box girder suspension bridge in the Three Gorges Reservoir.
