[0069] Example 6

[0070] This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of Embodiment 5, specifically:

[0071] A combustible gas detector 9 is arranged in the gas mixing chamber 6 , and the combustible gas detector 9 is connected to a fire controller 12 via a wiring harness 11 .

[0072] Specifically, the combustible gas detector 9 is used to detect firefighting information such as the concentration and temperature of combustible gas;

[0074] The working project is as follows:

[0075] The electrochemical battery is immersed in the insulating coolant 1, which can be a fluorinated liquid, silicone oil, transformer-grade insulating liquid, etc. The battery generates heat during the charging and discharging process, and the heat is dissipated into the insulating coolant 1 through the battery shell. The insulating coolant 1 flows upward by heat diffusion. A refrigerator is arranged above the battery, and the refrigerator cools the insulating coolant 1. The refrigeration unit 14 dissipates the heat in the refrigerator into the air. During the entire operation, the average temperature of the insulating coolant 1 is controlled within 25°C to ensure the safe operation of the battery.

[0076] Battery thermal runaway safety control process: If thermal runaway occurs during the operation of the battery, combustible gas will be ejected from the battery, and the temperature of the ejected gas is usually greater than 300°C. The insulating coolant 1 around the battery cools down the combustible gas and isolates it from oxygen to avoid heat accumulation and combustion of combustible gas, while cooling the battery and slowing down thermal runaway; the combustible gas goes up, and the temperature will be further reduced after passing through the refrigerator. The combustible gas continues to go up and passes through the puncture plate, which punctures the combustible gas, and the combustible gas becomes a smaller volume of gas, which is conducive to gas heat dissipation. The small volume of combustible gas passes through the cooling layer and continues to cool down. The combustible gas continues to go up, through the gas gathering structure 15, and gathers at the expansion joint 4. When the gas increases, the gas is discharged from the exhaust valve 5 into the gas mixing chamber 6. When the combustible gas detector 9 detects that the concentration and temperature of the combustible gas reach the conditions for releasing the fire extinguishing agent, the fire is started and the fire extinguishing agent is released. The fire extinguisher can be carbon dioxide, inert gas, halogenated hydrocarbon, aerosol, etc. The fire extinguishing agent reduces the concentration of the combustible gas and prevents the combustion of the combustible gas. The combustible gas mixed with the fire extinguishing agent is discharged into the air through the air duct.
