How Superior Leak Testing Is Paving the Way for New Energy Vehicles of ALL Varieties…

Posted by:

A consensus is building that perhaps the best approach will be to match the type of vehicle with the type of use. For example, battery EVs may be the best approach for city buyers to replace petrol cars. But more expensive Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), powered by hydrogen, might replace diesel trucks, buses, and large SUVs because BEVs – or at least the designs of today—have too many batteries and take too long to charge.

It’s useful to remember that a hydrogen vehicle is still an electric vehicle that just uses a different mechanism to generate electricity for propulsion.

What is also clear to the deep bench of leak test engineering expertise at InterTech Development Company is also that the success of ALL of the New Energy Vehicle designs on the drawing board or in production, hinge, in part, on best GR&R leak testing technology.

Electric? Hydrogen? Hybrid? Autonomous? More topics…..

Posted by:

Topics Discussed in this Exceptional Design Update include:

  • Makers of Battery Operated Electric Vehicles (BEV) are always up against the extreme heat gain intrinsic to battery operation.  Without an effective electronics cooling technology of some type, battery life is short-lived.  Any and all designs for electronics cooling in turn rely on coolant system integrity.
  • Hydrogen powered electric vehicles must similarly safeguard the integrity of the fuel cell components operating at high pressures by mastering leak-proof sealing technologies. Similar to the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) components of many plug-in hybrid vehicles, leak testing must contend with the real-world high pressure conditions in which components must reliably function.
  • Add to this alphabet soup of New Energy Vehicles (NEV), the demands that makers of Autonomous Vehicles (AV) face in ensuring absolutely fail-proof package integrity of sealed electronics critical for cameras, radar and lidar technology.
  • Simply put, every variation of NEV designs – both extant and in design phase—must have reliable and highly accurate leak test systems in order to function as designed. Contact IDC for a new design report n key technology in the BEV area.

Advanced leak testing systems for both hydrogen-powered vehicles (FCEV) and GDI components in Plug in Hybrid EVs (PHEV) designs

Posted by:

Advanced leak testing systems — used both in-line and for audits of a wide range of New Energy Vehicle components — have at their core InterTech’s unsurpassed patented test technologies: superior mass flow test sensors; test sensor designs; and unique test fixtures.

Now, InterTech test instruments can also handle the extremely high pressure test conditions required for GDI components used in plug-in hybrid designs.

InterTech’s Test Engineering Team has created turnkey test systems to verify coolant system integrity of BEVs, high pressure leak testing for both hydrogen-powered vehicles (FCEV) and GDI components in Plug in Hybrid EVs (PHEV) designs, and IP67 compliant sealed package testing for the electronics controls of autonomous vehicles (lidar, radar, and cameras.)
