One such project, currently, is for Swansea
University’s Centre for Automotive and
Power Systems Engineering (CAPSE).
The team there are working with major
companies to test new battery technologies,
not only for the automotive industry but for
National Grid and renewable energies too.
JTS has converted eight 30 ft shipping
containers into specialist self-contained ‘test
cells’ for temperature and humidity testing
jts-test-chambers.co.uk
at CAPSE’s Pontypridd site. Battery testing
can be highly volatile and to minimise risk
in this case, JTS engineers designed an
innovative CO2 cascade system, capable of
achieving a range of +80 / -40c at high rates
of temperature change. As an inert gas, CO2
has a major advantage in this application
over alternative refrigerants which are either
highly flammable, less efficient or have a far
higher GWP (Global Warming Potential).
Working closely with clients ensures the
best outcomes for individual test needs,
whether the requirement is for standard or
bespoke chambers, containerised systems,
or walk-in rooms. With experience across a
wide range of industries, and a client base
including manufacturers such as Dyson,
BAE Systems, TRW Automotive and Red
Bull, we are ready to help you achieve the
best environmental test solutions for your
products.
