Specific embodiment
The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
The fire-fighting method of this container-type lithium ion battery energy storage system specifically includes that automatic fire extinguishing system and early warning system
System.
Automatic fire extinguishing system includes that fire visits fire extinguishing system, spray nozzle type automatic fire extinguishing system, extinction by automatic sprinkling system, water curtain
A variety of fire extinguishings such as fire extinguishing system, back-fire relief system.Wherein, the fire trace tube that fire visits fire extinguishing system is mounted in module on battery safety valve
At square 2-3cm, main function is quickly to form point-to-point fire extinguishing at battery thermal runaway initial stage, passes through the collaboration of different extinguishing chemicals
Effect quickly extinguishes open fire and reduces battery temperature, mainly includes micro pressure sensor 1, fire trace tube 2, storage tank 3, pressure gauge
4, pressure-resistant steel pipe 5, solenoid valve 6 and communication line are several.Fine water mist fire-extinguishing system is mounted on above battery module at about 6cm,
Main function is to carry out fast prompt drop to battery module by water mist when fire spy fire extinguishing system fails to inhibit the propagation of thermal runaway
Temperature prevents thermal runaway to be propagated further, and mainly includes fine mist spray head 9, water mists pipeline 14, water pump 15, water tank 16.Thin water
Fang Junyou is arranged fog spray head 9 on each module.Automatic spray and water curtain fire extinguisher system rely primarily on early warning system and place and store up
Existing fire-fighting system linkage, extinction by automatic sprinkling system mainly include open type spray nozzle, disappear in the building of energy container
Anti- pipeline etc.;Water curtain fire extinguisher system mainly includes drencher, water supply distributing pipe line etc..The warning module of early warning system mainly wraps
Include early warning (level-one early warning) module 8 in battery module, battery cupboard early warning (second level early warning) module 7 and energy storage container early warning
(three-level early warning) module 17.The warning module of three-level early warning is arranged in the different location of energy storage container, and its inner sensor kind
Class is different.Warning module 8 inside battery module and battery cupboard warning module 7 mainly include VOC sensor, smoke sensor device,
CO sensor etc.;Energy storage container warning module 17 mainly includes temperature sensor, smoke sensor device, strain gauge etc..
The main implementation process of this fire-fighting method is as follows:
When thermal runaway occurs for battery in certain module of energy storage container inside, temperature rapid increase for battery surface, safety valve
Opening concurrently lights a fire calamity (in the form of jet stream fire).Fire trace tube 2 is acted on melt fracture by jet flame, releases heptafluoro-propane and goes out
Fiery agent, 11 open fire of single battery are extinguished, and since heptafluoro-propane cooling effect is poor, 11 surface temperature of single battery is still at this time
Keep higher temperature, and can still release a large amount of smog, CO gas and unreacted electrolyte etc..Extinguishing chemical in fire trace tube 2
It has discharged and has finished, micro pressure sensor 1 detects that pressure is less than threshold value in fire trace tube, transmits a signal to battery early warning mould
Block 8.Warning module 8 detects that VOC, smog and CO content are more than preset value, and pressure is less than preset value in fire trace tube 2, then
Warning module movement launches level-one pre-warning signal by wireless transmitter and issues signal to BMU10 by communication line.This
The reason of sample designs mainly prevents early warning system from reporting by mistake, brings unnecessary trouble to personnel monitoring.Meanwhile warning module 8
Level signal is issued to solenoid valve 6, solenoid valve 6 is opened, the driving of the perfluor hexanone extinguishing chemical of 3 lower half portion of storage tank in high pressure N2
It is lower that top half storage tank is entered by pressure-resistant steel pipe 5, and it is discharged into flame range via the fire trace tube of melt fracture 2, to battery
Carry out fast cooling.In order to make after putting out a fire, faster, BMU10 is when receiving the signal of warning module 8, Xiang Ying for battery cooling rate
Anxious liquid cooling system issues signal, and the liquid cooling system 12 of battery module bottom starts, and cooperation extinguishing chemical effect fast speed belt walks battery heat
Amount, the effective propagation for preventing thermal runaway in battery module.
If level-one response after battery cupboard Flame do not extinguish, i.e. the showing tremendous enthusiasm calamity of battery is propagated in intermodule, then this
A large amount of flue gas, CO and unreacted volatile organic matter will be generated in the battery cupboard that Shi Fasheng thermal runaway is propagated, will be worth when it is each
More than warning module 7 threshold value when, warning module 7 starts, and secondary response is triggered.It is sensed in warning module 7 and warning module 8
Device type is identical, but due in battery cupboard battery it is more, in order to avoid because caused by sensitivity is excessively high wrong report, warning module 7
The threshold value of middle early warning factor is larger.After warning module 7 acts, second level pre-warning signal is issued by wireless signal transmitter, and
Water pump 15 is opened by PLC controller.Water in water tank 16 passes through water mists pipeline 14 after being pressurizeed by water pump 15 and enters battery cupboard
In water mists pipeline, flowing water will take away partial heat.Meanwhile high pressure water is discharged by fine mist spray head, to battery cupboard
Fire is quickly saved, and cools down to battery.Particularly, since battery module meets IP67 standard, and water mists
Extinguishing chemical has certain insulation effect, therefore fine mist fire-fighting will not be such that the battery that thermal runaway does not occur produces because of external short circuit
Heat amount.By taking Fig. 4 as an example, fine water mist fire-extinguishing system is divided into four subregions, mutually indepedent between four areas, respectively using each
From early warning system, water tank and water pump.This measure can greatly increase fire-fighting efficiency, while reduce the waste of extinguishing chemical.Water mists
Fire extinguishing subregion can be adjusted flexibly according to container remaining space size and degree of protection in practical application.
If battery fire is not effectively controlled yet after preceding two-stage response, since number of battery cells is huge in energy storage container,
Then the intensity of a fire of energy storage container will become larger at this time, and energy storage container may be caused to burn destruction, and container generates serious deformation,
Surface temperature rapid increase, and this process will be along with a large amount of smog.It at that time, will positioned at the warning module of container surface 17
Detect that each early warning factor is more than given threshold, warning module 17 acts.It will be sent out by wireless signal transmitter to outside
Three-level pre-warning signal out.At this point, if energy storage container is located in building, as shown in figure 5, warning module 17 will be with building
Interior water spray and water curtain system links, and fire is prevented to propagate to energy-storage units are closed on;If the outdoor placement of energy storage container, such as scheme
Shown in 6, then warning module 17 will open lower part moving track 18, the energy storage that fire container is closed on by emergency flight control module
Unit is to away from the movement of the direction of fire source.
Present embodiment does not limit its protection scope, the technology of this field only to exemplary illustration of the invention
Some improvements and modifications that personnel are made without departing from the principle of the present invention should be regarded as protection scope of the present invention.
