Testimonial

We purchased C-Therm's TCi Thermal Conductivity Analyzer originally to characterize the thermal conductivity of metal hydrides. We liked that it could operate in a wide range of environments and test different materials. It provides accurate, unambiguous thermal conductivity results. What I've really come to appreciate about it is how easy it is to operate.

Hydrogen Storage

The use of hydrogen as an energy source has received more attention as the calls to abandon fossil fuels grow. Metal hydrides are a particularly versatile form of hydrogen storage for their energy density and wide variety of applications. Thermal management is crucial for metal hydrides; allowing a storage vessel to accumulate too much heat risks the melting of some materials, while allowing it to cool too far in the desorption stage risks stopping the reaction.

High Thermally Conductive Adhesives for Battery Applications

As the current trend is moving away from conventional ICE (combustion engine) power train systems to fully or hybrid electric systems, there is a strong demand and need for next-generation materials for the 48V, 400V and 800V battery platforms. Thermal management is key topic to prevent from thermal runaway and improve battery lifetime.?This webinar featured guest speaker Guillaume Gerbaut, Technical Sales Manager at?VonRoll. He discussed the next-generation Adhesives developments and how they’ve implemented C-Therm’s?Trident?Thermal Conductivity analyzer in their research and quality control.??To access the recording, click here.

Thermal Conductivity of Hydrogen Storage Materials

Thermal conductivity of hydrogen storage materials plays a crucial role in the design of a safe storage configuration. Hydrogen gas can pose a safety hazard due to the exothermic reactions it undergoes.?This webinar explored the need for hydrogen storage materials particularly in electric vehicles, the importance of thermal properties for safety and performance, and how the MTPS and HPC can be used to safely characterize these energetic materials.

Measuring damping performance using a High-Frequency DMA

Vibrations are the periodic motion of a particle or body.?A great example of vibrations that most of us encounter is riding in a vehicle.?Whether it’s the city bus or our car, it will vibrate during our commute. The blog talks about measuring damping performance of viscoelastic materials to isolate or absorb these vibrations. It also features?METRAVIB Design?DMA and how it was used to measure the performance. To learn more, click here.

Thermal Conductivity Measurements: Importance of Measuring Under Representative Application Conditions

Measuring?thermal conductivity?under representative conditions is important as it gives a better understanding of the thermal properties of?materials?as they are applied in the application. By knowing the conductivity value of a material under different conditions, you can determine its suitability for specific applications. To learn more,?click here.
