MD&M West Conference – Medical Device and ManufacturingSpeech Title: Developments in passive thermal management for safe, energy dense, medical device secondary batteries.
We are pleased to announce Dr. Sam Plunkett Director of Battery Technology at Beam Global has been invited to speak at the upcoming MD&M West Conference – Medical Device and Manufacturing.
Dr. Sam Plunkett is the Director of Battery Technology at Beam Global and has been part of the Beam Team for the past 5 years. His work is focused on performance and safety development of high energy density lithium-ion battery packs incorporating Beam’s patented PCCTM material. Sam received his bachelor’s from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and received his PhD from the University of Illinois, Chicago where his research focused on synthesis and electrochemical analysis of advanced lithium battery materials.
Speech Title: Developments in passive thermal management for safe, energy dense, medical device secondary batteries.
Time: Dr. Sam Plunkett Director of Battery Technology at Beam Global is speaking on February 7th 2023 from 11:50 AM-12:15 PM
Energy storage systems for medical device applications are required to meet stringent safety standards. Thermal management during operation along with thermal runaway propagation protection are essential attributes of these systems. Meeting these requirements in compact, energy-dense secondary batteries poses an engineering challenge for which passive thermal management solutions can have advantages compared to active cooling techniques. This presentation will outline common battery architectures employed in the medical industry and the standards that guide their design, highlight the thermal management challenges associated with meeting these requirements and showcase recent developments in state-of-the-art passive thermal management solutions.
