Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air permeability testing technology, and in particular to an air permeability testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic cells (such as TOPCon, HJT, and tandem cells) are highly sensitive to moisture, therefore, accurate testing of the water and oxygen permeability of photovoltaic module encapsulation materials (such as encapsulants, backsheets, and aluminum foil tapes) is necessary. Traditional technology uses infrared water / oxygen permeability testing (GB / T 21529-2008 "Determination of Water Vapor Transmission Rate of Plastic Films and Sheets") for this purpose. This method directly places the infrared sensor on the sealed side of the encapsulation material to detect the water vapor or oxygen concentration there. However, when simulating the permeability of the encapsulation material at higher temperatures (e.g., above 45°C), the infrared detection results become abnormal due to the increased ambient temperature, making it difficult to evaluate the permeability performance of the encapsulation material at high temperatures.

The second clamping plate and the third clamping plate clamp and fix the film layer to be tested along the thickness direction, and the film layer to be tested located between the second clamping plate and the third clamping plate corresponds to the position of the detection port.
[0013] The second fixture also includes a plurality of second seals disposed at the edge between the second clamping plate and the third clamping plate for sealing a set of oppositely disposed sides of the membrane layer to be tested.

[0019] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing device further includes an air source connected to the air inlet for introducing purge gas into the cavity.
[0020] In some embodiments, the surface of the shelf is covered with a heat-insulating layer.
[0021] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing device further includes a first air pressure sensor disposed inside the chamber for detecting the air pressure inside the chamber.
[0022] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing device further includes a second air pressure sensor, which is disposed on the platform and used to detect the air pressure inside the cavity.
[0023] Compared with traditional technologies, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0024] This application uses a fixture to fix the membrane layer under test onto a cavity-containing stage. The ambient gas inside the chamber simulates the working environment. The ambient gas enters the cavity through the test port from the membrane layer under test. Purge gas is introduced through the air inlet to deliver the gas permeated through the membrane layer to the detector for detection. By introducing purge gas through the air inlet to deliver the gas permeated through the membrane layer to the detector, this application avoids the problem of being easily affected by environmental parameters when performing tests directly inside the chamber. This enables permeability testing under different environmental conditions and improves the accuracy of the results. Attached Figure Description

[0038] In traditional technology, infrared sensors are placed on the sealed side of the membrane to directly detect the gas permeating through it. However, in simulated high-temperature environments, the infrared sensors are also exposed to high temperatures, causing detection errors and making it impossible to test the gas permeability under high-temperature conditions. If the permeated gas is transported to the outside of the device through a pipeline before being detected by an infrared sensor, the gas disperses within the pipeline due to the low permeability of the membrane, making effective detection impossible.
[0039] Based on this, this application provides an air permeability testing device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air permeability testing device includes a housing 100, a platform 200, a fixture 300, an air source 400, and a detector 500.
[0040] The stage 200 is housed within the enclosure 100. The stage 200 contains a cavity 210. The stage 200 also has a detection port 220, an air inlet 230, and an air outlet 240 communicating with the cavity 210. A fixture 300 is detachably connected to the stage 200 and is used to fix and seal the edge area of the membrane layer to be tested. A detector 500 is located outside the enclosure 100 and connected to the air outlet 240, used to detect the concentration of the gas discharged from the cavity 210.
[0041] This application uses a fixture 300 to fix the membrane layer under test onto a stage 200 with a cavity 210. The ambient gas in the chamber 100 simulates the working environment. The ambient gas enters the cavity 210 through the detection port 220 from the membrane layer under test. Purge gas is introduced through the air inlet 230 to deliver the gas permeated through the membrane layer to the detector 500 for detection. By introducing purge gas through the air inlet 230 to deliver the gas permeated through the membrane layer to the detector 500, this application avoids the problem of being easily affected by environmental parameters when conducting tests directly inside the chamber 100. This enables permeability testing under different environmental conditions and improves the accuracy of the results.
[0042] It should be noted that the air permeability test in this application can be a test of the air permeability performance of a certain gas, or a test of the air permeability performance of water vapor. Those skilled in the art can conduct tests according to different air permeability requirements.
[0043] It is understandable that the platform 200 can be a material plate with an internal cavity 210, with a detection port 220 communicating with the cavity 210 on one side surface of the material plate, and an air inlet 230 and an air outlet 240 on the other side or the side of the material plate.
[0044] In some embodiments, the fixture 300 includes a first fixture and a second fixture, both detachably connected to the platform 200. The first fixture is used to fix the film layer to be tested in a direction parallel to the plane of the platform 200. The second fixture is used to fix the film layer to be tested in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the platform 200. In this application, the fixture 300 can fix the film layer to be tested in two ways. The first fixture can set the film layer to be tested in a direction parallel to the platform 200, thereby enabling the testing of the air permeability of the film layer in the thickness direction. The second fixture can set the film layer to be tested in a direction perpendicular to the platform 200, thereby enabling the testing of the air permeability of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, thus satisfying the need to test the air permeability of the film layer under different usage conditions.
[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first fixture includes a first clamping plate 310 and a first connecting member 320. An opening 311 is provided on the first clamping plate 310. The first clamping plate 310 is detachably connected to the side of the platform 200 with the detection port 220 via the first connecting member 320. The opening 311 corresponds to the position of the detection port 220, so that the first clamping plate 310 and the platform 200 clamp and fix the membrane layer to be tested. Optionally, to ensure the accuracy of the water permeability test, the shape and size of the opening 311 are the same as the shape and size of the detection port 220.
[0046] It is understood that this application does not impose specific requirements on the structure of the first connector 320, as long as it ensures the detachable connection between the first clamping plate 310 and the shelf 200. There can also be multiple first connectors 320. For example, the first connector 320 can be a clip or bolt mounted on the first clamping plate 310, or it can be a press-fit device, using a pressing method to achieve the connection, fixation, and disassembly of the first clamping plate 310 and the shelf 200. Exemplarily, the first connector 320 includes two pressure plates and a telescopic member disposed between the two pressure plates. The telescopic member controls the distance between the two pressure plates, thereby fixing the first clamping plate 310 and the shelf 200 by pressing.
[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first fixture also includes a first sealing element 330. The first sealing element 330 is disposed at the edge of the first clamping plate 310 and is used to seal the gap between the first clamping plate 310 and the stage 200. This application utilizes the first sealing element 330 to seal the gap between the first clamping plate 310 and the stage 200, further preventing ambient gas from entering from the edge of the film layer under test and affecting the accuracy of the test results.
[0048] It is understood that this application does not impose specific requirements on the structure of the first sealing element 330, as long as it can fulfill the sealing function. For example, the first sealing element 330 can be a sealing strip.
[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second fixture includes a combined clamp and a second connector (not shown in the figure). The combined clamp is detachably connected to the side of the stage 200 with the detection port 220 via the second connector. The combined clamp includes a second clamping plate 340 and a third clamping plate 350 arranged opposite to each other. The second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350 clamp and fix the film layer to be tested along the thickness direction, and the film layer to be tested located between the second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350 corresponds to the position of the detection port 220. It can be understood that the second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350 are provided with a clamping drive to clamp and fix the second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350. For example, the clamping drive can be a mechanically driven drive, such as a cylinder.
[0050] This application does not specify the structure of the second connector, as long as it can allow the combined clamp to be detachably connected to the shelf 200. Multiple second connectors are permitted. For example, the second connector can be a clip or a pressing component, such as pressing the second clamping plate 340 onto the shelf 200. The second connector can have the same structure as the first connector 320.
[0051] like Figure 5As shown, the second fixture also includes a plurality of second seals 370. The second seals 370 are disposed at the edge between the second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350, for sealing a set of opposing sides of the film layer to be tested. Optionally, the shape and size of the detection port 220 are the same as the shape and size of the exposed area of the film layer to be tested.
[0052] Understandably, if the test area shapes differ when testing the permeability of the membrane layer in the thickness direction and perpendicular to the thickness direction, two different shaped test ports 220 can be provided on the stage 200 to meet the needs of the two different shapes. When using one test port 220 for testing, the other test port 220 can be sealed. Alternatively, two stages 200 with different test ports 220 can be provided for separate testing; similarly, two spaced cavities 210 can be formed on the same stage 200, with air inlets 230 and air outlets 240 respectively provided on the cavities 210, allowing for selection and connection according to usage requirements.
[0053] It should be noted that in this application, the second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350 are arranged perpendicular to the surface of the stage 200, thereby clamping and fixing the membrane layer to be tested, exposing the side surface of the membrane layer to be tested. Furthermore, the second sealing member 370 is used to seal a set of oppositely arranged side surfaces of the membrane layer to be tested. That is, only one set of oppositely arranged side surfaces of the membrane layer to be tested are exposed. In other words, gas can only enter from the exposed side and then exit from the side opposite it.
[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second retainer also includes a plurality of third seals 360. The third seals 360 are respectively disposed on the side of the second clamping plate 340 near the shelf 200 and the side of the third clamping plate 350 near the shelf 200, so as to seal the space between the second clamping plate 340 and the shelf 200, and the space between the third clamping plate 350 and the shelf 200, respectively.
[0055] This application does not specify the structure and form of the second seal 370 and the third seal 360, as long as they can achieve the sealing effect. For example, the second seal 370 and the third seal 360 can each be a sealing strip.
[0056] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing apparatus further includes a heater 600 disposed within the housing 100. The heater 600 is used to regulate the temperature within the housing 100. For example, the heater 600 may be a resistance wire heater 600.
[0057] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing apparatus further includes a water vapor generator 700 connected to the housing 100. The water vapor generator 700 is used to regulate the humidity inside the housing 100. For example, the water vapor generator 700 includes a water tank, and the water in the water tank can be vaporized by means of heating or ultrasound.
[0058] In some embodiments, the permeability testing apparatus further includes a gas regulator 800 connected to the housing 100. The gas regulator 800 is used to regulate the gas composition within the housing 100. For example, the gas regulator 800 may be a gas generator capable of producing a specific gas or a gas cylinder with a specific composition, thereby regulating the gas composition within the housing 100.
[0059] In some embodiments, the detector 500 includes at least one of a water vapor concentration detector and an oxygen concentration detector. Furthermore, when different gases need to be detected, sensors corresponding to those gases may be added.
[0060] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing device further includes a gas source 400. The gas source 400 is connected to the air inlet 230 and is used to introduce purge gas into the cavity 210. The gas source 400 can be a nitrogen gas source. For example, a nitrogen cylinder can be used as the nitrogen gas source. The gas source 400 can be located inside or outside the housing 100. When the gas source 400 is located outside the housing 100, it can be integrated with the detector 500 in the same device.
[0061] In some embodiments, the surface of the stage 200 is covered with a heat insulation layer. Optionally, the heat insulation layer may be formed of a heat insulation material or a heat insulation structure. For example, the heat insulation material may be heat insulation ceramic, and the heat insulation structure may be a heat insulation sealed cavity, thereby improving the heat insulation capability of the stage 200 and further avoiding the influence of gas temperature changes on the test results.
[0062] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing device further includes a first air pressure sensor 900. The first air pressure sensor 900 is disposed inside the housing 100 and is used to detect the air pressure inside the housing 100.
[0063] In some embodiments, the air permeability testing device further includes a second air pressure sensor (not shown in the figure). The second air pressure sensor is disposed on the stage 200 and is used to detect the air pressure in the cavity 210.
[0064] Exemplarily, a testing method for the above-mentioned air permeability testing device is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0065] S1. Place the membrane layer to be tested on the stage 200, and use the first clamping plate 310 to press and fix the membrane layer to be tested on the stage 200. At the same time, the opening 311 on the first clamping plate 310 corresponds to the position of the detection port 220. Optionally, the edge of the first clamping plate 310 is sealed by the first sealing member 330.
[0066] S2. Nitrogen gas is purged into the cavity 210 of the stage 200 using the gas source 400. Once the detector 500 shows no change in its readings (i.e., no other impurities in the cavity 210 and pipeline), the stage 200 with the membrane layer to be tested is placed inside the chamber 100, whose internal environment has been regulated. After a period of testing, the air permeability is calculated based on the concentration data obtained from the detector 500. Taking the use of an infrared sensor to detect and calculate the water permeability (the mass of water vapor passing through a unit area per unit time) as an example, the calculation method includes the following formula:
[0067]
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] Wherein, W: permeability (g / m³) 2 / day); C: Water vapor concentration (mol / m³) 3 Q: Molar flow rate of water vapor (mol / m³) 3 / day); t: Test time (day); M: Molar mass of water (g / mol); d: Sample thickness (m). I0: Initial infrared intensity; I: Infrared intensity during test; ε: Molar absorption coefficient (empirical constant); V: Sample transmission volume (m³ / day). 3 ( ) refers to the volume of the exposed part of the sample during the air permeability test.
[0071] S3. After the test is completed, remove the clamping of the first clamping plate 310 and the stage 200, and remove the film layer to be tested.
[0072] S4. The two sides of the film layer to be tested are clamped by the second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350, and a set of opposite sides of the film layer to be tested are sealed by the second sealing member 370, leaving only the set of sides to be tested exposed. The exposed side of the film layer to be tested is fixed facing the stage 200, and the connection between the second clamping plate 340 and the third clamping plate 350 and the stage 200 is sealed by the third sealing member 360.
[0073] S5. Nitrogen gas is introduced into the cavity 210 using the gas source 400. When the detector 500 shows no change in the detection result, that is, there are no other impurity gases in the cavity 210 and the pipeline, the stage 200 with the membrane layer to be tested is placed into the chamber 100 with the environmental parameters adjusted in advance for testing.
[0074] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to examples. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. For experimental methods in the following embodiments where specific conditions are not specified, please refer to the guidelines given in this application, or follow experimental manuals or conventional conditions in the art, or follow the conditions recommended by the manufacturer, or refer to experimental methods known in the art.
[0075] Example 1
[0076] Prepare an EVA film layer (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) and an EPE film layer (EVA-POE-EVA laminate structure) with dimensions of 10cm×10cm×0.056cm (length×width×thickness), an aluminum foil tape with dimensions of 10cm×10cm×0.009cm (length×width×thickness), and a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) backing plate with dimensions of 10cm×10cm×0.035cm (length×width×thickness). Using the air permeability testing device of this application, test the water permeability of the above samples in the thickness direction at 40℃, 65℃, and 85℃ according to the above method. The humidity in chamber 100 was set to 85%. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0077] Table 1
[0078]
[0079] The water permeability of EVA, EPE and aluminum foil tape in the direction perpendicular to the thickness was then tested separately, and the test results are shown in Table 2.
[0080] Table 2
[0081]
[0082] As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2 above, the water permeability test in the thickness direction in Table 1 shows that the water permeability of the aluminum foil tape is extremely low, suggesting that its sealing reliability is high. However, in the actual damp heat test of photovoltaic modules, it was found that photovoltaic module failure occurred. As can be seen from Table 2, the adhesive layer in the aluminum foil tape uses acrylic material, which has high water permeability in the direction perpendicular to the thickness.
[0083] Example 2
[0084] A test membrane layer with dimensions of 10cm × 10cm × 0.056cm was prepared. The test membrane layers were made of three different commercially available EPE films, designated EPE-1, EPE-2, and EPE-3. Using the air permeability testing device described in this application, the water permeability in the thickness direction and perpendicular to the thickness direction was tested at 85°C according to the method described above. The humidity in chamber 100 was set to 85%. The test results are shown in Table 3. Using the three EPE materials mentioned above, a 210-66 module (cell size 210mm×105mm, a total of 132 cells, using half-cell technology, equivalent to 66 full 210mm×210mm cells, referred to as the 210-66 module) was assembled. The module size was 2384mm×1384mm×30mm. The photovoltaic module was subjected to a damp heat test, i.e., temperature 85±2℃, relative humidity 85%±5℃, test time 1000 hours, to test the power degradation of the photovoltaic module. The test results are shown in Table 3.
[0085] Table 3
[0086]
[0087] As can be seen from Table 3, although the vertical water permeability of the three EPE films is similar, after the modules were made, it was found that there were significant differences in the power decay of the photovoltaic modules in the DH1000 damp heat test. Combined with the water permeability, it can be seen that the POE layer in the EPE-2 film delaminated from the EVA during the damp heat aging process, resulting in a larger power decay. This further illustrates that the water permeability testing device of this application can accurately test the air permeability of the film layer.
[0088] In summary, this application uses a fixture 300 to fix the membrane layer under test onto a stage 200 with a cavity 210. The ambient gas in the chamber 100 simulates the working environment. The ambient gas enters the cavity 210 through the detection port 220 from the membrane layer under test. The cavity 210 is then purged by a gas source 400, delivering the gas that has permeated the membrane layer to the detector 500 for detection. This application uses a gas source 400 to purge the gas from the membrane layer under test to the detector 500, avoiding the problem of being easily affected by environmental parameters when directly testing inside the chamber 100. This enables permeability testing under different environmental conditions and improves the accuracy of the results.
[0089] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0090] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the application.
