Directed gas flow guide elements: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled thermal runaway gas buildup poses catastrophic safety risks and structural failure in vehicle packs. These innovations engineer dedicated pressure-relief pathways to ensure predictable venting and prevent enclosure rupture.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Directed gas flow guide elements?

Uncontrolled thermal runaway propagation

(49)evidences

Uncontrolled discharge of hot gases during thermal events poses safety risks to vehicle occupants and structural integrity. Managing gas flow prevents internal pressure buildup and fire propagation.

Thermal runaway propagation risk

(38)evidences

Hazardous gas release during cell failure causes internal pressure buildup and fire propagation. Managing these emissions prevents catastrophic module destruction.

Uncontrolled thermal propagation risk

(25)evidences

Battery systems face catastrophic failure when internal pressure or heat exceeds structural limits. Preventing unmanaged discharge of hazardous gases ensures passenger safety and prevents cascading system destruction.

Premature battery cell degradation

(17)evidences

Battery cells are prone to catastrophic failure through heat and gas buildup. Managing these venting events prevents sequential cell ignition and structural vehicle damage.
