Data Center Power – The Importance Of Hydro Formation
There is a real need in the data center marketplace for a line of quality high-rate batteries that are sustainable and economical while providing peak performance and life. Seeing that need, East Penn Manufacturing created the Deka HRC product line with three key design features for high-rate critical power applications. Those key features are Engineered Alloys, Compu-Press Grids, and Hydro Formation. Part 3 of a 3-part series…
What is Hydro Formation?
After the grids are created and pasted with our proprietary lead-oxide paste, they become plates. After plates are cured using exacting methods, they are inserted into battery cases, assembled, and are ready for our Hydro-Formation. As a manufacturing process, the formation step is critical to provide the battery energy for long life and performance. As is common practice, the step of formation involves forming out the battery plates with high amounts of electricity, producing large amounts of heat as a byproduct. Formation is also a very carefully calculated process that takes a prescribed amount of time. East Penn uses a highly technical computer-controlled process of chilled water-assisted formation through its proprietary Hydro-Formation process.
Hydro-Formation enables a more consistent and efficient formation of the entire battery by controlling its overall temperature throughout the entire process, resulting in significant productivity efficiencies and energy savings.
What is the Deka HRC VALUE EQUATION?
Through the key features detailed in this and previous posts, Deka HRC batteries offer peak performance, while leveraging your capital investment. It is another offering in the proven line of Deka products, including the revolutionary Deka Fahrenheit for high heat environments and the Deka High Rate, built to provide superior performance in critical applications. Additionally, all Deka batteries, including the new Deka HRC are virtually 100% sustainable and offer a financial credit when they reach end of life. Compared to alternative technologies such as lithium, Deka batteries provide high reliability and the lowest overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
