The new energy sector covers battery production (e.g., lithium-ion electrolytes), fuel cell cooling, and energy storage systems. It involves handling conductive fluids, corrosive electrolytes, and thermal management media under extreme temperatures. Equipment must ensure safety, resistance to chemical degradation, and precision in fluid control.
Major issues include leakage of hazardous electrolytes leading to safety risks, corrosion from acidic/alkaline solutions, and the need for accurate dosing in electrolyte filling. Equipment must offer hermetic sealing, compatibility with aggressive media, and reliability under continuous operation.
If required, Donjoy provides centrifugal pumps made of 316L/duplex steel for corrosion-resistant electrolyte transfer. Lobe pumps handle high-viscosity fluids with minimal shear, while ball valves with FKM/FFKM seals prevent leakage. All products are designed for operational safety in battery and fuel cell applications.
