Within the quality control of low-voltage batteries, it is necessary to carry out freezing tests down to -40ºC in order to analyse the performance of new and old batteries, so that a complete study of their operation and performance under extreme temperature conditions can be carried out throughout their useful life, guaranteeing their quality. The ACR-40/480 chest freezer has been designed to carry out freezing tests at -40ºC, in order to verify the behaviour of the batteries under extreme conditions. Its 480-litre interior enclosure with a floor reinforced up to 700 kg, allows a large number of batteries to be tested simultaneously. The position of the door has been positioned on the right side of the chamber and the control on the right, according to the customer’s indications. 2 wall access-ports on the right side of the equipment for the insertion of temperature recording probes. The system also has an air flow speed control, as well as a sensor to read the air flow. All this is recorded through an independent recording system with remote connection to a PC via Ethernet port.
