What we research
- Propagation mechanisms: how heat and vent gas move from a failing cell to its neighbours, inside modules, racks and containers.
- Thermal management: how cooling design, spacing and thermal barriers change the onset and spread of thermal runaway.
- Passive fire protection: performance of insulation, barrier and enclosure materials under prolonged fire exposure.
- Large-scale fire behaviour: heat release and fire spread of full systems, and how well they can be predicted by simulation.
With Tongji University
Our 20 MW indoor large-scale fire hall in Jiading was co-built with Tongji University. It gives research projects full-scale, instrumented fire tests under controlled indoor conditions, independent of weather.
Why it matters to you
Research is how we stay ahead of the standards. Many test requirements — large-scale fire tests, open-door burns, deflagration testing — started as research questions. Clients who work with us on development learn what will pass before they commit to a certification test.
Frequently asked questions
Can we commission a research project?
Yes. Typical projects compare barrier materials, cooling strategies or module layouts under controlled thermal runaway, combining instrumented tests with simulation. Results can stay confidential to you.
