How to Configure a Helium Leak Detector for New Energy Battery Projects?
For new energy battery projects, helium leak detector configuration should consider cells, modules, packs, cold plates, part structure, leak rate, cycle time, fixtures, vacuum chamber, and traceability.
Key Points
- Start by identifying the tested part: cell, housing, cold plate, valve body, or pack component.
- Then confirm leak-rate target, test pressure, cycle time, and automation interface.
- Batch production usually requires fixture, vacuum system, traceability, and maintenance planning together.
Start with the tested part
New energy battery projects cover different parts, including cell housings, covers, cold plates, pipelines, valve bodies, and pack components. Before configuration, confirm part size, interface, internal volume, allowable test pressure, and surface protection requirements.
Choose method and cycle time
Common methods include vacuum chamber, spray helium, sniffer, or combined testing. For production projects, count loading, clamping, evacuation, helium filling, testing, venting, and unloading, not only detector sensitivity.
Plan fixtures and traceability
Battery-related parts often require consistency and data recording. Fixture sealing, barcode binding, result storage, NG alarm, authority control, and maintenance access should be defined during solution design. If helium consumption is high, recovery can be evaluated.

FAQ
Does every new energy battery project need vacuum chamber testing?
No. It depends on part structure, target leak rate, cycle time, helium filling method, and site conditions.
Are cold plates suitable for helium leak detectors?
Cold plates often require micro-leak control and long-term reliability, so helium leak detection is usually worth evaluating.
What information should be prepared early?
Part drawings, volume, target leak rate, test pressure, cycle time, line interface, traceability, and site space are recommended.
