BATTERY SYSTEM HAVING STRUCTURE IN WHICH COOLANT CAN BE FED INTO BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222058 titled 'BATTERY SYSTEM HAVING STRUCTURE IN WHICH COOLANT CAN BE FED INTO BATTERY MODULE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application is for an energy storage system that includes a stack of battery modules, a venting detecting unit, and a coolant supplying unit.
- The energy storage system is designed to store and release energy as needed.
- The battery modules are stacked vertically, allowing for efficient use of space.
- The venting detecting unit is able to detect when a venting occurs in one or more of the battery modules.
- Venting refers to the release of gas or vapor from the battery module, which can be a safety concern.
- When venting is detected, the coolant supplying unit is activated to supply coolant to the affected battery module.
- The coolant helps to cool down the battery module and prevent any further venting or potential damage.
- This system ensures the safety and proper functioning of the energy storage system by detecting and addressing venting issues promptly.
Original Abstract Submitted
An energy storage system includes a module stack having a plurality of battery modules stacked vertically; a venting detecting unit configured to detect a venting when the venting occurs in at least a part of the plurality of battery modules; and a coolant supplying unit configured to supply a coolant to a battery module at which a venting occurs when the venting of the battery module is detected by the venting detecting unit.
