Currently, the fire extinguishing solutions equipped in the energy storage battery industry are usually gas fire extinguishing systems and water mist fire extinguishing systems. Gas fire extinguishing systems can be divided into heptafluoropropane and perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing systems. Furthermore, the industry has gradually formed a fire protection system for the battery module level. The cooling method of the battery core itself is still the traditional cold plate liquid cooling or air cooling. When the battery core is thermally out of control, additional fire protection branches and The liquid storage tank injects coolant into the battery module to achieve flooded fire protection.
首先,对于气体灭火***,七氟丙烷灭火***只能作为整舱级全淹没式灭火***,无法直接作用于电芯,灭火效能低,且不具备降温效果,易复燃;全氟己酮灭火***可以做到电池模组级消防,但由于喷放需要较好的雾化,因此需要配套喷头,其结构较为复杂。其次,对于细水雾灭火***,虽然降温性能较好,但***整体压力高,具有一定的危险性,同时,其仍属于整舱级全淹没式灭火***,在扑灭局部火势的同时会造成其余电芯淋水失效,整体损失较大。First of all, as for the gas fire extinguishing system, the heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing system can only be used as a fully submerged fire extinguishing system for the entire cabin, which cannot directly act on the battery cells. The fire extinguishing efficiency is low, has no cooling effect, and is prone to re-ignition; the perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing system can Achieve battery module level fire protection, but since spraying requires good atomization, it requires a matching sprinkler head, and its structure is relatively complex. Secondly, for the water mist fire extinguishing system, although the cooling performance is good, the overall pressure of the system is high and has a certain degree of danger. At the same time, it is still a fully submerged fire extinguishing system for the entire cabin. While extinguishing local fires, it will cause other The battery core fails when exposed to water, resulting in large overall losses.
最后,通过向模组内注液实现的淹没式消防***存在以下缺点:Finally, the flooded fire protection system realized by injecting liquid into the module has the following shortcomings:
热失控时注入的水基冷却液导电,容易使其余电芯短路,从而导致火势加剧;The water-based coolant injected during thermal runaway conducts electricity and can easily short-circuit the remaining cells, thereby exacerbating the fire;
通过电磁阀控制冷却液注入,存在响应的及时性的问题,并且一旦电磁阀失效会使冷却液淋到其余电芯上,从而导致短路,可靠性不高;Controlling the injection of coolant through a solenoid valve has the problem of timely response, and once the solenoid valve fails, the coolant will pour onto the remaining cells, resulting in a short circuit and low reliability;
在原有电池***基础上额外添加消防管路和储液箱会使得整体结构复杂,占地变大。Adding additional fire piping and liquid storage tanks to the original battery system will make the overall structure complex and occupy a larger area.

本发明的消防控制方法涉及以下流程:The fire control method of the present invention involves the following processes:
S1:由电池管理***12实时监测电芯10的表面温度,并计算得到电芯10的表面温度随时间的变化率,由烟雾传感器T1实时监测电池柜11内是否有烟雾,烟雾到达一定浓度发出烟雾报警信号;由可燃气体探测器T2实时监测电池柜11内可燃气体浓度,可燃气体到达一定浓度发出可燃气体报警信号,并将其传递给电池管理***12;S1: The battery management system 12 monitors the surface temperature of the battery cell 10 in real time, and calculates the rate of change of the surface temperature of the battery cell 10 with time.

Smoke alarm signal; the combustible gas detector T2 monitors the combustible gas concentration in the battery cabinet 11 in real time. When the combustible gas reaches a certain concentration, it sends out a combustible gas alarm signal and transmits it to the battery management system 12;
S2:若电池管理***12未接收到烟雾报警信号和可燃气体报警信号并且电芯温度及温度变化速率无异常,即电芯表面温度在15℃至35℃之间,并且电芯表面温度随时间的变化率小于1℃/s时,***保持正常运行。此时***内电磁阀V1~VN全部打开,泵1按照额定工况运行;S2: If the battery management system 12 does not receive the smoke alarm signal or combustible gas alarm signal and the battery core temperature and temperature change rate are not abnormal, that is, the battery core surface temperature is between 15°C and 35°C, and the battery core surface temperature changes with time. When the change rate is less than 1℃/s, the system maintains normal operation. At this time, the solenoid valves V1~VN in the system are all opened, and pump 1 operates according to rated working conditions;
S3:若电池管理***12接收到烟雾报警信号,但电芯表面温度在15℃至35℃之间,并且电芯表面温度随时间的变化率小于1℃/s时,可认为是由于电池柜为非密封结构,由外界产生的烟气导致烟雾传感器T1发生了误动。此时由电池管理***12向后台发出告警信号,提醒相关人员前往现场查看情况,***内电磁阀V1~VN仍保持全部打开的状态,泵1仍按照额定工况运行;S3: If the battery management system 12 receives the smoke alarm signal, but the battery core surface temperature is between 15°C and 35°C, and the change rate of the battery core surface temperature with time is less than 1°C/s, it can be considered that the battery cabinet is responsible for the problem. It is a non-sealed structure, and the smoke generated from the outside causes the smoke sensor T1 to malfunction. At this time, the battery management system 12 sends an alarm signal to the background to remind relevant personnel to go to the site to check the situation. The solenoid valves V1 to VN in the system are still all open, and the pump 1 is still running according to the rated working conditions;
S4:若电池管理***12未接收到烟雾报警信号和可燃气体报警信号,但监测到电芯的表面温度大于60℃或电芯表面的温度随时间的变化率大于1℃/s,并且可进一步地发现供液压力传感器3和回液压力传感器4数值有明显的上升趋势时,判定电芯处于热失控初期,由电池管理***12向后台发出告警信号,同时调节泵1的频率,提高***流量,加快电池箱内部电芯换热降温,防止电芯发生进一步的热失控现象,此时***内电磁阀V1~VN仍保持全部打开的状态。当电池管理***12监测到电芯表面温度及表面温度随时间的变化率均恢复正常时,取消告警信号,并调节泵1的频率至额定工况;S4: If the battery management system 12 does not receive the smoke alarm signal and the combustible gas alarm signal, but detects that the surface temperature of the battery core is greater than 60°C or the change rate of the temperature of the battery core surface with time is greater than 1°C/s, and can further When it is discovered that the values of the liquid supply pressure sensor 3 and the return liquid pressure sensor 4 have an obvious upward trend, it is determined that the battery core is in the early stage of thermal runaway, and the battery management system 12 sends an alarm signal to the background, and at the same time adjusts the frequency of the pump 1 to increase the system flow. , speed up the heat exchange and cooling of the cells inside the battery box, and prevent further thermal runaway of the cells. At this time, the solenoid valves V1~VN in the system remain all open. When the battery management system 12 monitors that the cell surface temperature and the rate of change of the surface temperature over time return to normal, the alarm signal is canceled and the frequency of the pump 1 is adjusted to the rated operating condition;
S5:若电池管理***12接收到烟雾报警信号或接收到可燃气体报警信号,同时监测 到电芯的表面温度大于60℃,并且电芯表面的温度随时间的变化率大于1℃/s,同时可进一步地发现供液压力传感器3和回液压力传感器4数值发生陡增时,判定此时已发生不可逆的电芯热失控现象,进一步的进行以下工作:S5: If the battery management system 12 receives a smoke alarm signal or a combustible gas alarm signal, it simultaneously monitors When the surface temperature of the battery core is greater than 60°C, and the change rate of the temperature of the battery core surface with time is greater than 1°C/s, and it can be further found that the values of the liquid supply pressure sensor 3 and the return liquid pressure sensor 4 increase sharply, it is determined that At this time, irreversible thermal runaway of the battery core has occurred, and further work needs to be done as follows:
a)由电池管理***12定位发生热失控电芯的具***置,并将电池柜11直流***电源关闭,同时向后台发出声光报警;a) The battery management system 12 locates the specific location of the thermal runaway cell, turns off the DC system power supply of the battery cabinet 11, and simultaneously issues an audible and visual alarm to the background;
b)电池管理***12将其他未热失控电芯对应的电池箱的电磁阀关闭,只打开发生热失控电芯对应的电池箱的电磁阀,例如若判断1#电池箱第j个电芯发生热失控,则需将V2~VN全部关闭,只保持V1为开启状态;b) The battery management system 12 closes the solenoid valves of the battery boxes corresponding to other non-thermal runaway cells, and only opens the solenoid valves of the battery boxes corresponding to the thermal runaway cells. For example, if it is determined that the jth battery cell of 1# battery box has In case of thermal runaway, all V2~VN need to be turned off and only V1 should be kept on;
c)电池管理***12将浸没式冷却***中的泵1切换为点动模式,即泵1每次启动的时间间隔为t1,每次启动的时长为t2。其中,t1可由多次模组热失控试验得到,需保证在此时间间隔内,电芯上方的冷却液6不会因吸收电芯热失控产生的热量而全部挥发;t2可由下列公式计算得到:
c) The battery management system 12 switches the pump 1 in the immersion cooling system to the inching mode, that is, the time interval for each start of the pump 1 is t1, and the duration of each start is t2. Among them, t1 can be obtained from multiple module thermal runaway tests. It must be ensured that within this time interval, the coolant 6 above the battery core will not completely volatilize due to absorbing the heat generated by the thermal runaway of the battery core; t2 can be calculated by the following formula:
为泵额定流量,L为电芯上方空间长度,W为电芯上方空间宽度,H为电芯上方空间高度,电池箱9的具体尺寸图见图3所示,c为安全系数,可取1.1~1.3,防止少量冷却液6在点动过程中由防爆阀溢出。由此可保证热失控电芯上方在泵1点动过程中始终被冷却液6所覆盖。 is the rated flow of the pump, L is the length of the space above the battery core, W is the width of the space above the battery core, H is the height of the space above the battery core, the specific dimensions of the battery box 9 are shown in Figure 3, c is the safety factor, which can be 1.1~ 1.3. Prevent a small amount of coolant 6 from overflowing from the explosion-proof valve during the inching process. This ensures that the top of the thermal runaway battery core is always covered by the coolant 6 during the inching process of the pump 1 .
上述c)步骤中,泵1在电芯热失控时切换为点动模式的原因如下:当电芯发生热失控时,对应电池箱内部由于热失控电芯安全阀打开而喷出的大量烟气以及冷却液6蒸发产生的气体压力积累到一定值,热失控电芯对应电池箱上方的防爆阀会打开,此时电池箱与外界连通,若泵1继续保持连续运行的状态,在短时间内,大量冷却液6会由开启的防爆阀K1~KN处喷出,从而减弱消防冷却效果。因此,所述点动模式可最大化的利用浸没式冷却***中的稳压罐5存储的冷却液6抑制电芯10的热失控行为,延长相关人员处理火灾的时间。In step c) above, the reason why pump 1 switches to inching mode when the battery core thermally runs away is as follows: When the battery core undergoes thermal runaway, a large amount of smoke will be ejected from the inside of the battery box due to the opening of the safety valve of the thermally runaway battery core. And when the gas pressure generated by the evaporation of coolant 6 accumulates to a certain value, the explosion-proof valve above the battery box corresponding to the thermal runaway cell will open. At this time, the battery box is connected to the outside world. If pump 1 continues to operate continuously, within a short time , a large amount of coolant 6 will be sprayed out from the opened explosion-proof valves K1 ~ KN, thereby weakening the fire cooling effect. Therefore, the inching mode can maximize the use of the coolant 6 stored in the surge tank 5 in the immersion cooling system to suppress the thermal runaway behavior of the battery core 10 and extend the time for relevant personnel to deal with the fire.
