The thin, light weight heating elements of flexible polyimide heater provide uniform heat distribution. Polyimide is used to make these heaters which are high temperature polymers with remarkable thermal stabilities and mechanical strengths. These heaters are versatile and can be contoured onto complex shapes and surfaces making them suitable for different applications including electric vehicle batteries.
Temperature variations have significant effects on EV batteries. Battery performance decreases leading to decreased efficiency and range in cold environments. To address this challenge, the use of flexible polyimide heaters has been adopted in the design of EV batteries as they provide consistent temperatures over time. This ensures reliable functioning even in harsh conditions by maintaining optimal battery temperatures.
• Battery Performance:The battery’s general performance and efficiency is enhanced by ensuring that the battery is kept at the optimum temperature through using polyimide heaters, which are flexible.
• Battery Life:To minimize the strain on the battery cells thereby extending their lives, there has to be proper thermal management.
• Safety:EV batteries are made safer since consistent heating prevents freezing as well as other cold-related concerns.
• Energy Efficiency:In so doing they help in keeping the overall energy efficiency of EV intact hence these heaters have been designed for precise temperature control with limited power consumption.
• Lightweight Design: By being lightweight, polyimide heaters do not add up to any significant weight on the vehicle thus not affecting its performance in an electric vehicle (EV).
• Durability:Thanks to this characteristic, they can be used in such applications as EVs without getting damaged. It is due to this fact that they are able to resist chemicals, moisture and extreme temperatures; features that make them very durable and dependable when used in an EV battery over a long period.
Linepro is a leading company that manufactures flexible polyimide heaters for many industries including automobile sector (Electrical vehicles). For example, our heaters are known to be reliable, energy efficient and possible designs which can be adjusted as per the need. We also work closely with EV manufacturers to provide them with battery system solutions tailored to meet their specific needs.
EV batteries face the risk of performance degradation and danger in cold conditions. Here are some ways in which Linepro’ s flexible polyimide heaters address these challenges:
• Maintaining Optimal Temperature:Ensuring optimal battery performance and efficiency by keeping it at its best working temperature.
• Preventing Cold-Related Issues:Some of these problems include; reduced charge acceptance, slower charging times or even damage to battery cells all due to low temperature as the battery gets cold.
• Enhancing Reliability:Our heaters make sure that EV batteries always function properly regardless of how outside temperatures fluctuate.
We have hi-tech laser cutting machines to obtain custom and intricate shape patterns to match the shape profile.
Depending on the surface area and/ or required length, we can provide custom sizes.
We can customize thickness of the heater based on the bending radius required. We can provide heaters as thin as 0.5mm
We can selectively process polyamide heaters for insulation, chemical-resistance, scratch-resistance and waterproofing based on the demands of actual working conditions.
Depending on the required properties like scratch-resistance, oxidation-resistance, material hardness and softness we may select suitable substrate like PET, PC and polyamide variants and conductive inks of varied make.
Polyamide heaters adhering to flame resistant standards like ISO 3795, FMVSS 302 and other standards.
