KULR Adds to Suite of Battery Safety and Testing Solutions With New Commercial License of NASA Technology

GlobeNewswire Inc.
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR)
(the "Company" or "KULR"), a leading energy management platform
company accelerating the global transition to a sustainable
electrification economy, today announced it has achieved
operational readiness for its Fractional Thermal Runaway
Calorimeter (“FTRC”) within its suite of battery safety and thermal
management solutions after finalizing a commercial licensing
agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(“NASA”) for the agency's patent-pending FTRC solution.
Following a one-year trial license from NASA, KULR’s new
commercial license allows FTRC to be utilized by commercial-leaning
companies, such as leading aerospace company Lockheed Martin (NYSE:
LMT), that wish to develop better and safer battery pack and
battery management system (“BMS”) designs. This successful
progression deepens the Company’s position as the leading
end-to-end battery safety design, testing, shipping, storage and
failure-mitigation provider.
Originally developed by NASA and refined by KULR’s engineering
team led by NASA alumni and current KULR Chief Technology Officer,
Dr. William Walker, FTRC measures the amount of heat energy
released during a thermal runaway event, a dangerous, powerful
chain-reaction explosion that can happen when batteries are stored,
shipped or used together. This technology helps engineers and
designers better understand these incidents and helps develop safer
battery solutions to mitigate them. FTRC also allows engineers and
designers to perform necessary testing experiments faster while
also enabling them to utilize a variety of trigger methods such as
heaters, internal short circuit (“ISC”), and nail penetration to
generate more accurate results and in turn, eventual solutions.
“FTRC is a key part of KULR’s holistic methodology for the design
of safe battery systems and amplifies the Company’s mission of
providing commercially applicable solutions that support the
electrification of the circular economy,” said Dr. William Walker
CTO of KULR Technology Group. “It is humbling to see a technology
that I co-invented during my tenure at NASA become a licensed
product in private industry and I am excited to support our
customers with this new service offering. Fractional calorimetry
has certainly changed the way we understand thermal runaway and I
cannot wait to see what else is revealed to the industry as we
continue our explorative studies internally on thermal runaway
behavior.”
The commercial license for KULR’s FTRC specifically applies to
18650 and 21700 format Lithium-ion cells and the Company plans to
enable pouch cell FTRC next month.About KULR Technology
