As EV adoption rates rise, so do the demands for the crucial components that power Electric Vehicles, making them efficient and accessible for those wanting to make the move towards alternative transportation options.

As consumer demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, so does the demand for innovative batteries that provide more power and longer range. Donaldson designs solutions to help maximize vehicle battery pack performance.

Enclosure protection vents allow for pressure equalization and protect against dust, water, oils and solvents across a multitude of industries.

Beyond the element and fixture, outdoor lighting and digital signage need enclosure protection vents. A small vent can extend the life of outdoor light fixtures while containing production costs.

Dual-stage enclosure protection venting is key to handling a wide range of automotive venting requirements, and has proven effective in meeting the needs of automotive batteries.

Powertrain venting performs a dual function: keeping out contaminants while equalizing air pressure in and around sealed enclosures. Venting is designed to help extend drivetrain life.

The proper specification of venting solutions generally depends on three factors. An integrated venting solution (IVS) balances these factors to identify the optimum solution for each situation.

As battery manufacturers work toward the development of higher energy density and increasingly smaller battery packs, venting solutions need to keep pace. While dual-stage venting systems have proven to be the key to handling a wide range of battery venting needs, higher density batteries require vents with improved pressurization and degassing capabilities to ensure performance, ease of use and safety.
