Building advanced lithium ion batteries for the automotive, marine, RV, and more industries, Lithionics Battery uses Smart Products' Series 300s as pressure relief valves for high-safety installations. When batteries are installed in close proximity to personnel, valves and conduits are added to them.
 The GT12V600A-8D-CTRL400 Deep Cycle & Engine Start Lithium Battery (pictured in brown) is around 150lbs and offers 600 lithium amp hours. To protect against a thermal runaway, this product uses a Series 300 valve in Nylon to shuttle any potential lithium vapors through a Silicone tube away from the battery installation area.
The same valve is also used, but in a different capacity, in Lithionics Battery's GT32V225-A-8DR-Module Deep Cycle Lithium Battery (pictured in blue). In this product, the valve is used in an aluminum-sealed case to pressure-balance the internal container pressures through charge and discharge cycles. This battery is also around 150lbs, but with 225 lithium amp hours. For more specs on both batteries, contact Lithium Battery at http://lithionicsbattery.com/.
 Lithionics Battery customized their own unique pressure relief valve by plastic body material, o-rings, and opening PSI. Nylon (pictured) was a great option for them as it typically works best for air/gas applications that require a slightly higher heat resistance.

Working with Ozone? Mineral Oils? Acids? Caustic Fluids?
Smart Products' check valves feature customizable components that work well with a wide variety of liquids/gasses. If your low pressure, low flow application deals with certain liquids or gasses, we offer flexible design solutions.
For ozone, PVDF (Kynar) is typically our number one recommendation. Ultem® also works well with ozone, as well as most caustic fluids. Pictured above: Series 300 valves in Ultem® and PVDF. We also offer a similar plastic, Radel®, which is known for ultra high toughness and high temperatures. For mineral oils, Acrylic (pictured in a Model #150 valve) is possibly the best option because it has an excellent resistance to these types of oils.
 After the plastic body material is selected, we look at o-ring materials. EPDM and Silicone both work well with ozone. Buna-N, Viton®, and Fluorosilicone are all good with a variety of oils, acids, and fluids.
No matter what liquids/ gasses you're working with, our website has guides for the 9+ plastics and 7+ o-rings we offer. A Product & Application Specialist can also help you create an optimal check/pressure relief valve based on your needs for these component materials, as well as size, style, and pressure requirements.
As always, it is important to communicate any liquids/gasses used, application environment, and intended shelf life. The more we know about your low pressure, low flow needs, the better equipped we will be in selecting the right components to create a precise and accurate product exclusively for your application.
