    In new energy vehicle battery packs and other sealed compartments, rapid temperature changes and potential thermal runaway can generate dangerous internal pressure. Without effective pressure management, this may lead to seal failure, reduced safety, or even explosion risks.

    SST-Porous® Explosion Proof Vent Valve is specifically developed to solve these critical challenges.

    This high-performance vent valve maintains continuous pressure balance under normal operating conditions, while delivering rapid, controlled pressure relief when internal pressure exceeds safe thresholds—effectively preventing catastrophic events.

    Explosion-proof mechanism

    Explosion-proof mechanism in normal working condition

    The e-PTFE membrane, independently developed by Schepard, allows air and other gases to enter and exit

    the battery pack. Due to the change of altitude and temperature, the temperature change of the vehicle

    during driving can effectively balance the internal and external pressure difference of the battery shell.

    Explosion-proof mechanism in explosion relief state

    When the gas pressure inside the battery pack box is greater than or equal to the opening pressure

    value set by the explosion-proof valve, it belongs to the state of explosion relief. In this state, the

    spring is compressed and the pressure lifts the fixed seat to achieve the effect of rapid pressure

    Key Benefits

    • Dual-channel rapid pressure relief design — significantly shortens release time and enhances safety
    • Precise detonation point — with re-detectability and directional control for reliable, repeatable performance
    • IP68/IP69K high protection rating — excellent waterproof, dustproof, and sealing performance in harsh environments
    • Rapid airtightness detection — enables quick inflation testing and straightforward installation
    • Corrosion-resistant aluminum body with anti-oxidation coating — withstands acid, alkali, and long-term exposure
    • Dramatically improves system safety, extends service life, and reduces total cost of ownership (TCO)

    Backed by SST’s deep expertise in microporous membrane and pressure management technology, this explosion-proof vent valve helps new energy vehicle and battery manufacturers:

    • Enhance product safety
    • Simplify structural design
    • Accelerate assembly
    • Achieve faster time-to-market with greater reliability

    New Energy Vehicle Battery Packs
    1. Prevent Contaminants Ingress: The SST explosion-proof valve, with its multi-layer waterproof and breathable membrane structure, effectively blocks external water, dust, oil, and other contaminants while allowing gas exchange. This maintains the internal cleanliness of the battery pack and meets high IP protection ratings.
    2. Balance Internal & External Pressure: Temperature fluctuations during charging, discharging, and environmental changes create pressure differentials inside the sealed battery case. The valve enables rapid, controlled gas exchange to equalize pressure in real time, preventing seal deformation, cracking, or fatigue.
    3. Reduce Condensation and Extend Service Life: By quickly expelling internal water vapor, the breathable valve significantly reduces condensation and moisture accumulation. This protects battery cells, BMS, and other electronic components, effectively extending the overall life cycle of both the battery pack casing and the cells.
    4. Emergency Pressure Relief in Thermal Runaway: In rare thermal runaway events, the valve instantly opens at a preset pressure threshold to rapidly release high-pressure gases and heat. This prevents excessive pressure buildup, casing rupture, or secondary disasters, providing critical safety protection.

    In summary, the SST waterproof, breathable, and explosion-proof valve for new energy vehicle battery systems effectively prevents contaminant ingress, balances pressure differentials, reduces condensation, and provides emergency pressure relief. It significantly enhances the safety, reliability, and service life of battery packs, meeting the stringent requirements of high-performance EV battery systems.

    1. Prevent Contaminants Ingress: The SST waterproof and breathable valve utilizes a high-performance multi-layer membrane structure that effectively blocks rainwater, dust, salt spray, and insects while maintaining excellent air permeability, meeting stringent outdoor IP65/IP67 protection requirements.
    2. Balance Internal & External Pressure: Significant temperature differences between day and night, along with equipment heat generation, cause rapid pressure changes inside the enclosure. The valve automatically enables real-time gas exchange to equalize pressure, preventing enclosure deformation, seal failure, or cracking.
    3. Reduce Condensation and Extend Service Life: The valve rapidly expels internal moisture, significantly reducing condensation. This protects critical components such as circuit boards, IGBT modules, and capacitors, thereby extending equipment lifespan and lowering maintenance costs.
    4. Emergency Pressure Relief: In extreme fault conditions or abnormal internal pressure buildup, the valve opens instantly to release excess pressure, preventing enclosure rupture or secondary damage and enhancing overall system safety.

    In summary, the SST waterproof, breathable valve for photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems effectively delivers contaminant protection, pressure balancing, condensation reduction, and emergency pressure relief. It significantly improves the safety, reliability, and service life of outdoor equipment, meeting the harsh demands of photovoltaic and energy storage applications.

    Breathable products have the following two main impacts on mobile phones:

    Ventilation and heat dissipation: Mobile phones using breathable products can allow the heat inside the phone to be discharged more easily, thus Reduce the problem of mobile phone heating. The design of breathable products can increase the ventilation performance of the mobile phone, promote air circulation, and reduce the heat remaining inside the mobile phone. It can not only improve the stability and work efficiency of the mobile phone, but also extend the service life of the mobile phone.
    Waterproof and dustproof:Breathable products are usually also waterproof and dustproof, which can effectively prevent rainwater , dust and other substances enter the inside of the mobile phone. This can protect the electronic components inside the mobile phone from damage and enable the mobile phone to be used in harsh environments, such as outdoor sports, travel, etc.

    In short, breathable products can improve the ventilation, heat dissipation, waterproof and dustproof capabilities of mobile phones, thereby increasing the service life and reliability of mobile phones. At the same time, it also provides mobile phone users with a more comfortable and safe experience.
