er LG Chem can make a defect-free EV battery that does not pose a potential fire risk, according to GM spokesman Dan Flores on August 30. LG builds the battery cells at its LG Energy Solution Michigan, Inc., facility in Holland, Michigan. GM and LG know the defects are a torn anode tab and a folded separator in the modules. GM's engineers are studying LG's manufacturing process and monitoring how LG packs the cells into modules that go into a bat...

th limestone powder instead of water as before. 80% of the dry separation can take place in circulating air mode. As a result, only 20% of the air no longer has to be tempered and humidified 100%. Last year, the second of a total of four painting lines at the Dingolfing site was equipped with a dry separator. The conversion of the third line will follow in mid-2022, and the fourth is expected at the turn of the year 2022/2023. The annual CO2 emis...

iable cross-section turbochargers and other advanced technologies can improve the low-speed torque of the engine and improve the acceleration response. The electrically regulated water pump makes the engine warm up faster, improving fuel economy and user comfort. The motor-driven active oil and gas separator uses centrifugal force to separate oil and gas. It has higher separation efficiency for oil mist particles with finer particle size and real...
