The DC fast charging technology greatly improves the practicality of the electric vehicle , and the charging time of the battery pack from the air-conditioning state to the full power of 80% is only half an hour or less. Fast charging technology is widely believed to have a major drawback: although the cost of charging is reduced, current research indicates that fast charging technology can reduce the life of lithium-ion battery packs.

A recent study published in the journal NatureMaterials showed that the damage caused by fast charging to the battery pack was much lower than we expected. In terms of battery pack protection, it should be more concerned with the distribution of current between the electrodes, rather than the fast charging itself. Research teams from Stanford University and the Stanford Materials Science Center focused their research on the performance of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials.

The researchers first made a batch of coin-type batteries, then charged them with different current sizes and different charging time lengths, and finally disassembled them, and then observed the chemical reaction by X-ray. If a higher proportion of nanoscale particles on the cathode can absorb and release ions during charging and discharging, the battery has a longer service life; if only a small number of particles function, it means that the battery performance is greatly attenuated.

After testing the battery, the researchers found that only a small percentage of nanoscale particles can absorb and release ions, whether or not they use fast charging technology. However, above a certain threshold, the distribution of ions becomes more balanced. Scientists will be able to use this feature to create a more durable battery pack.

The next phase of the research will process the battery for hundreds of charge and discharge cycles to simulate how the battery will be used under real conditions to further test its performance characteristics. The researchers also plan to perform X-ray inspection during battery charging to better understand the performance of the electrode material.

The number of DC fast charging stations is increasing, and electric vehicle users are inevitably continuing to use these devices, but now they may be more comfortable when using them, without worrying too much about the damage to the battery pack.

Water Cooled Chiller

For water cooled chiller, water outlet temperature range could be 0C, -15C, -35C. If large cooling capacity, say above 300kW, we have 2 compressors design to make sure sufficient duty.


This type of water cooled chiller adopts a high-efficiency twin-screw compressor and is equipped with a high-efficiency shell-and-tube heat exchanger independently developed and manufactured, which is suitable for R22, R404A and other refrigerants. Heat recovery can be configured according to customer thermal energy requirements, applicable to pharmaceutical, chemical, electronic and other demanding places. Meanwhile, cooling duty ranges from 70kW to 2369kW with chilled water outlet temperature 5C~-35C.
