Embodiment Construction

[0013] This document describes examples of systems and techniques for managing a system of electrochemical cells during abnormal events, such as thermal runaway. As discussed above, a thermal runaway event may result in a powerful ejection of gas or other matter from the casing of an individual cell. This material may be in the form of larger pieces (such as the battery case or the cap of the current collector tabs) and smaller particles (such as fragments of any of the battery components). Whether large or small, debris or other solid matter that may be ejected during a thermal event are collectively referred to as "particles." Due to significant heat generation, some particles may reach temperatures that cause them to glow or effectively spark. If the spark comes into contact with gas, such as smoke from a thermal runaway event, there is a possibility of ignition. As such, it may be desirable to separate the spark from the gas in order to minimize the consequences of therm...

Abstract

A vortex separator comprising: a housing having a cylindrical chamber therein; an inlet through a cover of the cylindrical chamber positioned at a proximal end of the housing; entering the housing at the proximal end and toward A tube extending axially through the cylindrical chamber along the closed distal end of the housing; an outlet through the cover positioned at the distal end; and a collection basin at the outlet.

Description

Background technique [0001] In many areas, efforts are underway to transition the world's energy consumption from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Since today's electricity networks are partially powered by non-renewable energy sources, transition efforts have focused in part on promoting local generation and storage of energy rather than at remote power plants. This could involve solar energy (ie photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity) or wind energy (ie wind turbines in wind farms). Since the output of these types of energy sources fluctuates over time, and because the demand for energy also fluctuates over time, the ability to store electrical energy for later use becomes important. [0002] One of the key technologies for storing electrical energy is electrochemical cells (such as lithium-ion batteries). The advantages are well known: they have a high energy density, can deliver large amounts of electricity on demand, and can be reused many t...
