Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine when a fire occurs in the battery cell assembly?
The system uses a controller to detect a fire in the battery cell assembly, but the specific method of detection is not detailed in the abstract.
What is the composition of the fire-extinguishing liquid used in the system?
The abstract mentions a fire-extinguishing liquid stored in the tank, but the specific composition or properties of the liquid are not provided.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and a method for extinguishing a fire of a high voltage battery for a vehicle, which supply a fire-extinguishing liquid to a fire extinguishing case in a form of a container when a fire occurs in a high voltage battery provided in a vehicle, submerging the high voltage battery in the fire-extinguishing liquid, include a battery cell assembly, a fire extinguishing case to accommodate the battery cell assembly, a fire-extinguishing liquid tank connected to the fire extinguishing case, wherein a fire-extinguishing liquid is stored in the fire-extinguishing liquid tank, a supply valve provided between the fire-extinguishing liquid tank and the fire extinguishing case and configured to supply or block the fire-extinguishing liquid from the fire-extinguishing liquid tank to the fire extinguishing case, and a controller electrically connected to the supply valve and configured to open the supply valve to supply the fire-extinguishing liquid to the fire extinguishing case when the controller concludes that the fire occurs in the battery cell assembly.
