​As a global manufacturer of BESS containers, TLS Energy specializes in the design, fabrication, and testing of containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) tailored to customer requirements.

Among all quality assurance procedures, the water spray test is one of the most critical steps, ensuring that each BESS container achieves IP55 waterproof protection for long-term and reliable outdoor operation.

Why Water Spray Testing Is Essential
BESS containers are typically installed outdoors, exposed to rain, humidity, wind, and temperature changes. The water spray test verifies that every container enclosure provides full protection against water ingress, keeping the internal electrical and control components safe.

Without proper water resistance, moisture could lead to corrosion, insulation breakdown, or short circuits, which may affect performance and safety. Therefore, TLS Energy conducts water spray testing on every unit before delivery to ensure consistent sealing quality and reliability.

TLS Energy’s In-House Water Spray Test Procedure
TLS Energy has developed its own in-house testing procedure specifically for large-scale BESS containers. This process simulates real rainfall and strong water jet conditions to confirm the integrity of the container’s waterproof design.
The testing process includes:

1. Pre-Inspection – All door gaskets, hinges, air filters, and sealing strips are checked to ensure proper installation and condition.
2. Spray Simulation – High-pressure nozzles spray water over the roof, side panels, doors, and cable entry points from multiple directions and for a set duration, reproducing real outdoor rainfall conditions.
3. Post-Test Inspection – After spraying, the container is opened and carefully inspected. No water droplets or damp areas are acceptable inside any compartment.
4. Documentation – A Water Spray Test Report is issued for each tested unit, including test pressure, duration, and results, signed by TLS Energy’s quality assurance engineers.

Components Protected Inside the BESS Container
TLS Energy’s BESS containers integrate all key energy storage and control systems within a single IP55-rated enclosure, including:

• Battery packs and racks – energy storage modules providing core capacity
• BMS (Battery Management System) – monitors and balances battery operation
• FFS (Fire-Fighting System) – enables rapid fire detection and suppression
• DC Control Cabinet – manages electrical distribution and safety circuits
• TMS (Thermal Management System) – maintains stable temperature inside the container

The water spray test ensures all these systems remain fully protected and operational even under heavy rain and severe weather.

Engineered for Long-Term Durability
TLS Energy’s container structure adopts a multi-layer waterproof design, featuring EPDM rubber seals, stainless-steel hardware, IP-rated glands, and anti-corrosion coatings.
Together with precise manufacturing and strict testing, this design guarantees reliable IP55 protection and outstanding performance in all environmental conditions.
​
Commitment to Quality and Safety
At TLS Energy, quality and safety always come first. Every BESS container undergoes a full factory acceptance test (FAT), including electrical insulation checks, thermal system verification, fire-safety validation, and water spray testing.

This commitment ensures that every TLS Energy product delivered to clients meets the highest standards of reliability, durability, and performance in real-world energy storage applications.

In energy, oil & gas, renewable energy, and research projects, pressurized explosion-proof containers often need to operate in harsh environments—deserts exceeding 50°C, polar regions with extreme cold, dusty mining areas, and offshore high-humidity locations.

These extreme conditions challenge every aspect of the design. Drawing on years of engineering experience, TLS has developed solutions that ensure stable operation under all conditions, focusing on ventilation, corrosion protection, insulation, electrical systems, and intelligent monitoring.

1. High-Temperature Environments: Smart Airflow Keeps Internal Temperatures Safe

In desert regions above 50°C, electrical components are prone to overheating.

TLS uses a combined system of fans, exhaust vents, and ducted air conditioning for efficient internal airflow.

Intelligent temperature control modules monitor conditions in real time, automatically adjusting airflow or AC operation to keep internal temperatures within a safe range.

2. Low-Temperature Environments: Freeze Protection and Insulation

In extremely cold regions, materials become brittle and equipment can be difficult to start.

TLS containers feature multi-layer insulation—rock wool, aluminum foil layers, and internal panels—that prevents heat loss and condensation.

Optional electric heating systems ensure that electrical components operate reliably even at -40°C.

3. Marine Environments: Salt and Corrosion Resistance

High humidity and salt spray offshore are tough on metal structures and electrical systems.

TLS applies a C5-M corrosion protection coating system—primer, epoxy intermediate layer, and polyurethane topcoat—for multi-layer defense.

Fasteners can be made of 316L stainless steel, with welds and corners specially protected to prevent salt corrosion.

4. Dust Protection Design: Keeping Air Flowing, Dust Away

In mining sites or desert projects where sandstorms are frequent, TLS adopts a three-layer protection design — reinforced sealing strips, airlock double doors, and optimized airflow pathways — to effectively reduce the impact of dust on internal equipment and space.

Under typical dusty conditions, these measures help maintain a clean and stable interior environment. For harsher conditions, TLS can provide optional upgrades such as high-efficiency filters, positive pressure ventilation systems, and regular maintenance plans to further enhance protection.
Note: The dust protection design significantly reduces dust accumulation but cannot fully prevent it under extreme sandstorm conditions. Actual performance may vary depending on site environment and maintenance.

5. Electrical and Intelligent Systems: Reliable and Visible

All electrical components are industrial-grade, wide-temperature units with surge, short-circuit, and grounding protection for stable operation.

Optional smart monitoring systems track temperature, humidity, and fan status in real time, automatically alerting operators if abnormalities occur.

6. Conclusion
​
Reliability in extreme climates is never accidental.

Through structural reinforcement, protective coatings, temperature control, and intelligent systems, TLS ensures every pressurized explosion-proof box can withstand time and environmental challenges.
Whether in deserts, offshore, or polar regions, TLS is committed to delivering safe, reliable, and fully customizable explosion-proof container solutions worldwide.

​In the world of high-stakes laboratory work, safety is the foundation of every breakthrough. When handling everything from volatile chemicals to critical biological agents, a fundamental piece of equipment stands between lab personnel and hazardous exposure: the negative pressure containment container.

But as crucial as the pressure differential is, its effectiveness is entirely dependent on one vital component: a robust and well-designed lab ventilation system. This guide dives deep into why this unseen shield is the most critical factor in achieving optimal lab safety and containment integrity.

What is a Negative Pressure Container and How Does it Work?
At its core, a negative-pressure container (or enclosure) is a powerful first line of defense.

By maintaining a lower air pressure inside the unit compared to the surrounding laboratory, it enforces a principle of directional airflow. In the event of a breach, rupture, or leak, air is immediately drawn into the container, effectively trapping and localizing any hazardous fumes or particulates.

This simple concept provides physical containment, but it is incomplete without a system to remove the accumulated contaminants. This is where high-performance ventilation steps in.

Why Ventilation is the Critical Safety Asset
Proper laboratory exhaust and ventilation don't just support the pressure differential—they actively create a safe and stable microenvironment.

• Continuous Contaminant Removal: This is the primary function. It actively removes hazardous fumes and airborne particles, significantly reducing the risk of inhalation or skin exposure to the operator.
• Integrity Protection: Ventilation prevents the concentration of volatile compounds that could degrade sensitive materials or equipment within the container.
• Environmental Stabilization: It helps regulate internal temperature and humidity, preventing fluctuations that compromise sensitive experiments and maintaining compliance.
• Improved Air Quality: Ventilation ensures a constant exchange of air, preventing the build-up of stale air and promoting a healthier workspace.

 
Key Design Principles for Optimal Containment Ventilation
To transform a standard enclosure into a secure, high-performance containment unit, the ventilation system must be meticulously engineered. Lab managers must focus on these three critical design elements:

1. Precision Airflow Patterns
Contaminants must be completely swept away. This requires a strategic design of air supply and exhaust vents to ensure air is distributed uniformly throughout the container. Poor design can lead to "dead zones"—areas of stagnant air where hazardous substances can accumulate, defeating the purpose of containment.

2. Optimized Air Change Rates
The rate at which the air inside the container is replaced is vital. The ACR must be:

• High enough to effectively scrub the air and remove contaminants swiftly.
• Controlled to prevent excessive turbulence that could disrupt the work or compromise the integrity of the negative pressure barrier.

Industry standards often dictate these rates based on the hazard level and specific application (e.g., biological vs. chemical).

3. Advanced Monitoring and Alarms
Modern lab safety equipment utilizes sophisticated sensors to continuously monitor the pressure differential and airflow velocity. A robust system includes:

• Real-time Indicators: Allowing personnel to visually confirm stable operating conditions.
• Immediate Alarms: Providing instant notification of any deviation from the set pressure or airflow, enabling lab staff to address issues before they escalate into safety hazards.

The Final Pillar: Maintenance and Compliance
The most sophisticated containment solution is only as good as its maintenance schedule. For continuous, reliable protection, labs must implement a strict regimen:

• Regular Inspections & Calibration: Ensuring pressure sensors and airflow monitors remain accurate.
• Filter Replacement: Routinely replacing HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) or carbon filters according to manufacturer guidelines to guarantee effective contaminant capture.
• Diagnostic Testing: Simple procedures, such as a smoke test, can quickly reveal unseen airflow anomalies or minor leaks in the containment envelope.

Conclusion: Invest in the Flow, Secure the Future
A correctly ventilated negative pressurized container is not merely a box—it is a critical, integrated lab containment solution. By prioritizing the principles of controlled airflow, advanced monitoring, and rigorous maintenance, laboratories can move beyond basic containment to create a truly secure environment that protects personnel, preserves research integrity, and ensures regulatory compliance.
