Battery storage technology is essential to expanding the use of renewable energy. Battery energy storage systems enable energy from renewables, like solar and wind, to be stored and then released when customers need power most.
Advances in technology and materials have greatly increased the reliability, output, and density of modern large-scale battery systems. Continuous innovations are optimizing the performance of battery technology and creating a more robust and adaptable energy grid.
Typically found near renewable energy sources, for example, solar farms in remote desert environments, high performance sealing technology is crucial to protect battery systems from harsh temperatures and weather conditions, to enable efficient operation.
Large Scale Battery Application
Battery Seals
Battery seals are critical in protecting high voltage components from moisture and dirt in harsh climates. In remote environments, temperatures can range from -10 °C/+14 °F to +50 °C/+122 °F.
Products
- HMF FlatSealTM flat gaskets and cover or frame seals
- Connector seals
- Multicomponent parts
- Rubber-to-metal bonded gaskets
- Static seals, including O-Rings, Wills Rings® metal seals and Engineered molded parts
Cooling Systems
Air and liquid cooling systems are critical in maintaining battery performance and extending service life. Seals are found in compressors and valves, where temperatures range from 15 °C/59 °F - 30 °C/86 °F and pressures can be up to 50 bar/725 psi.
