Side/Rear Panels

Structural panels providing side and rear protection for battery racks and enclosures in industrial applications.

Component Specifications

Definition
Side and rear panels are critical structural components of battery racks and enclosures, designed to provide mechanical protection, thermal management, and electrical isolation for battery modules. These panels serve as protective barriers against physical impacts, environmental contaminants, and thermal propagation while maintaining structural integrity under operational loads. They are engineered to meet specific dimensional tolerances, material specifications, and safety standards to ensure reliable performance in industrial energy storage systems.
Working Principle
These panels function as protective barriers that absorb and distribute mechanical stresses, provide thermal insulation or dissipation pathways, and prevent the spread of fire or thermal events. They maintain structural stability through rigid or reinforced construction while allowing for ventilation, cable routing, and maintenance access as required by the enclosure design.
Materials
Typically manufactured from galvanized steel (SGCC/SECC), aluminum alloys (6061-T6, 5052-H32), or composite materials (fiber-reinforced polymers) with thickness ranging from 1.5mm to 3.0mm. Surface treatments include powder coating (60-80μm), anodizing (10-25μm for aluminum), or zinc plating (8-12μm) for corrosion resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Fire Rating UL94 V-0 or equivalent
  • Panel Thickness 1.5-3.0mm
  • Weight Capacity ≥50kg/m² distributed load
  • Surface Hardness ≥HB 80 (steel), ≥HB 60 (aluminum)
  • Flatness Tolerance ≤1.5mm/m²
  • Corrosion Resistance Salt spray test ≥500 hours
  • Thermal Conductivity 15-50 W/m·K (depending on material)
Standards
ISO 12100, IEC 61427, UL 1973, DIN EN 62619
