Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery safety, and in particular to a battery immersion coolant. Background Art

[0002] As the core of the immersion battery thermal management system, the thermophysical properties of the coolant largely determine its application in data centers and PC systems. The immersion coolant should have excellent insulation properties, excellent thermal conductivity, no solidification or combustion within the operating temperature range, and be compatible with the materials of data centers and PC systems.

[0003] Based on cost considerations, existing immersion coolants often use hydrocarbons and conventional silicone oils as cooling oils. Although these substances have good insulation properties, their flash points and ignition points are relatively low, and the safety of the energy storage system is difficult to ensure, which affects the development of immersion liquid cooling energy storage technology.

[0004] Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the energy storage system, it is urgent to provide a coolant that can meet the thermal management requirements. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an immersion single-phase cooling liquid that can be applied to data centers and PC systems.

[0006] An immersion single-phase coolant comprises the following components: 50-70 parts of base oil, 30-50 parts of flame retardant and 10-20 parts of antioxidant; The flame retardant is one or more of an organic silicon flame retardant, an inorganic silicon flame retardant or an organic silicon nanocomposite material.

[0007] The base oil is one or more of dimethyl silicone oil, diethyl silicone oil, phenyl methyl silicone oil or amino methyl silicone oil; wherein the viscosity of the base oil is 20-100 cst.

[0008] The organosilicon flame retardant is one or more of FCA117 or DC8008; The inorganic silicon flame retardant is magnesium aluminum silicate flame retardant.

[0009] The organosilicon nanocomposite material is 40-001 Additive.

[0010] The antioxidant is a polyphenol hindered phenol antioxidant, preferably one or more of antioxidant 3224, antioxidant 3125 or antioxidant 330.

[0011] Preferably, the coolant comprises the following components: 55-65 parts of base oil, 40-45 parts of flame retardant and 10-15 parts of antioxidant.

[0012] A method for preparing an immersion single-phase coolant comprises mixing a base oil, a flame retardant and an antioxidant to obtain a uniform liquid under heating and stirring conditions.

[0013] The heating temperature is 60-90° C., the stirring speed is 800-1500 r / min, and the stirring time is 4-8 h.

[0014] Methyl silicone oil can be used as insulating cooling oil due to its good insulation properties, but its heat dissipation and flame retardancy are poor, so the safety performance of methyl silicone oil can be improved by introducing flame retardants. However, traditional flame retardants have poor compatibility with methyl silicone oil, or even if the compatibility is good, the thermal physical properties of methyl silicone oil will be significantly deteriorated. The inventors found that the flame retardant selected in the present invention has better compatibility with methyl silicone oil, can give methyl silicone oil good flame retardancy, and will not significantly deteriorate the thermal physical properties of methyl silicone oil. The present invention uses a new type of high-efficiency, low-toxic, anti-drip, environmentally friendly flame retardant, which is commonly used in the flame retardancy of PC materials, but has not been used in the flame retardancy of immersion coolants. Therefore, the scheme of the present invention is not easy to think of. In the present invention, the reason why the silicone flame retardant can play a role may be because it achieves its flame retardant effect through the condensed phase flame retardant mechanism, that is, by generating a cracked carbon layer and improving the antioxidant property of the carbon layer. During the combustion process, the organosilicon flame retardant will migrate to the surface of the material to form a carbon layer rich in organosilicon flame retardants. This carbon layer will generate an inorganic oxygen-isolating and heat-insulating protective layer containing Si bonds and Si-C bonds at high temperatures, thereby preventing the escape of combustion decomposition products. It can also act as a heat-insulating and oxygen-isolating layer, effectively preventing the thermal decomposition reaction of the material, and achieving the purpose of flame retardancy, low smoke, and low toxicity.

[0015] The immersion single-phase coolant of the present invention has high flame retardancy, high insulation, good low-temperature fluidity, and good heat transfer performance, and can effectively inhibit the occurrence of thermal runaway in data centers and PC systems, reduce the hazards caused by thermal runaway in data centers and PC systems, and improve safety.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: By selecting a suitable flame retardant, not only is the insulating cooling oil given good flame retardancy, but it also has good compatibility with the insulating cooling oil. While improving the flame retardancy of the insulating cooling oil, the physical and chemical properties of the insulating cooling oil are further optimized and improved. The immersion single-phase coolant of the present invention has the advantages of good flame retardancy, high insulation, low-temperature fluidity, heat transfer performance, etc., and can effectively inhibit the occurrence of thermal runaway in data centers and PC systems and reduce the hazards caused by thermal runaway. Moreover, the preparation process of the present invention is simple, low-cost, easy to mass produce, and has good application prospects. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
