MUMBAI, India, April 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647041817 A) filed by Moldtecs-01-2022 GmbH, Bad Harzburg, Germany, on April 1, for 'valve for venting and degassing a housing of an electrochemical device.'
Inventor(s) include Ratajczack, Christelle; and Heim, Matthias.
The application for the patent was published on April 10, under issue no. 15/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a valve for mounting on a housing (5) of an electrochemical device and for venting and degassing a housing (5). The valve comprises a flange plate (1) for mounting on the housing (5) with the flange plate (1) having a centre axis C and forming a central gas channel (1.1). The central gas channel (1.1) extends preferred over the entire length of the flange plate (1) along the centre axis C. The valve further comprises a valve body (2) arranged at the gas channel (1.1) with the valve body (2) being preloaded by means of at least one elastic element (2.3) positioned on top of the valve body (2) for closing the gas channel (1.1). The valve body (2) having at least one gas opening (2.1) and a membrane (2.2) permeable to gaseous media, wherein the gas opening (2.1) is sealed by the membrane (2.2). The membrane (2.2) covers the opening (2.1) of the valve body (2) with the effect that only gas can flow through the opening (2.1) that permeates the membrane (2.2). For liquids the membrane (2.2) is tight. The safety of the electrochemical device is to increase through stabilization and reduction of the risk of condensate inside the housing (5). For this the membrane (2.2) is arranged on top of the valve body (2)."
The patent application was internationally filed on Sept. 04, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/074752.
