Thermal Runaway
Calorimetry
& Gas Quantification
In a single measurement...
-
Determine Energy Release
We directly measure how much energy is released by a cell during thermal runaway.
-
Determine Vent Gas Quantity
We precisely measure how much gas is being released from the cell during the thermal event.
-
Determine Reaction Time
We measure exactly how long the cell thermal runaway lasts, and how rapidly the gas and energy are released.

Separate Cell Can and Ejecta Energy Content
Our approach is based on fractional thermal runaway calorimetry. For solid-casing cells, this enables us to measure how much energy is released through the cell can, and how much is released in the ejected mass and gases.
