Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aging processing technology, and in particular to a heating system for a cold and hot lithium battery aging chamber. Background Technology
[0002] The hot-cold lithium battery aging chamber is a large-scale walk-in experimental device specifically designed to simulate extreme temperature environments (high temperature, low temperature, and alternating temperature and humidity conditions) and accelerate the performance degradation test of lithium batteries.
[0003] Currently, the air circulation in the hot and cold lithium battery aging chamber is mainly achieved through the air outlet and air inlet ducts set on both sides of the inner wall of the aging chamber. The hot air is heated by electric auxiliary heating and then sent into the aging chamber by a fan. After aging, the air is exhausted outside the aging chamber by an exhaust fan. The traditional method of heating the air by electric auxiliary heating has problems such as high starting power, large impact on transformer capacitors, and inaccurate temperature control. In addition, the energy consumption is particularly high. Furthermore, since workers work close to the workshop and the temperature is high, installing air conditioning would increase costs and is not economical. Utility Model Content

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model relates to a heating system for a cold and hot lithium battery aging chamber, which can achieve dual energy saving by recovering heat from the workshop environment. It can convert the heat in the workshop environment into energy consumption for aging work, reducing cost investment, and can also regulate the temperature in the workshop, improve the workshop working environment, and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning.
[0033] The heating system of the cold and hot lithium battery aging chamber of this utility model includes a chassis 1 and a fresh air inlet 11, an exhaust air outlet 12, a return air outlet 13, and a supply air outlet 14 provided on the chassis 1. The fresh air inlet 11 and the exhaust air outlet 12 are connected to the external workshop space of the chassis 1. An evaporator 2 is provided between the fresh air inlet 11 and the exhaust air outlet 12. The return air outlet 13 and the supply air outlet 14 are respectively connected to the air outlet and the air inlet of the cold and hot lithium battery aging chamber. A condenser 4 is provided between the return air outlet 13 and the supply air outlet 14. A compressor 6 is provided between the evaporator 2 and the condenser 4, and a refrigerant circulation channel is formed between the evaporator 2, the condenser 4, and the compressor 6.
[0034] Specifically, the evaporator 2 is used to absorb heat from the indoor air entering the casing 1 from the fresh air inlet 11. An evaporator fan 3 is provided between the fresh air inlet 11 and the exhaust vent 12. The evaporator fan 3 can make the indoor air entering the casing 1 from the fresh air inlet 11 form a directional airflow through the evaporator 2. At this time, the cold air after absorbing heat through the evaporator 2 enters the workshop from the exhaust vent 12, effectively reducing the workshop temperature, improving the workshop working environment, and reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning.
[0035] In addition, a condensate drain pipe 21 is connected to the evaporator 2 to drain the condensate, which can prevent condensate from accumulating inside the casing 1 and avoid moisture accumulation that could lead to rust, corrosion or equipment failure.
[0036] The condenser 4 uses the heat absorbed by the evaporator 2 to heat the return air discharged from the hot and cold lithium battery aging chamber. A supply air fan 5 is provided between the return air inlet 13 and the supply air outlet 14. The supply air fan 5 is used to form a directional airflow through the condenser 4 between the return air inlet 13 and the supply air outlet 14, so that the return air of the aging chamber passes through the condenser 4 for heating.
[0037] This invention utilizes a refrigerant circulation channel formed between the evaporator 2, condenser 4, and compressor 6 to transfer heat through changes in the refrigerant's state. Specifically, the refrigerant circulation channel is equipped with a liquid storage tank connected to both the condenser 4 and the evaporator 2. The liquid storage tank stores the refrigerant. High-temperature indoor air from the workshop enters the casing 1 under the power of the evaporator fan 3. As the high-temperature indoor air passes through the evaporator 2, the liquid refrigerant in the liquid storage tank absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant then enters the compressor 6, which further compresses the heat-absorbing refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state. This gaseous refrigerant is then sent to the condenser 4, where it releases heat to heat the return air of the aging chamber. After releasing heat, the refrigerant returns to a liquid state and goes back to the liquid storage tank, ready to re-enter the evaporator 2 for circulation. This invention utilizes refrigerant circulation to recover and reuse heat from the workshop in the aging chamber, significantly reducing energy consumption and lowering costs. Simultaneously, the high-temperature indoor air, cooled by heat absorption, becomes cold air and is returned to the workshop by the evaporator fan 3 to further cool the workshop space and improve the environment. In other words, this invention's heating system for a hot-cold lithium battery aging chamber enables bidirectional environmental control between the workshop and the aging chamber, recovering and reusing heat from the external environment and reducing heat input.
[0038] Furthermore, a gas-liquid separator 7 is provided between the compressor 6 and the evaporator 2. The gas-liquid separator 7 uses centrifugal force to separate the liquid refrigerant in the vaporized refrigerant, which can prevent the liquid refrigerant from directly entering the compressor 6 and causing damage to the compressor 6, thus ensuring system safety and efficiency.
[0039] In addition, the condenser 4 in this embodiment is inclined relative to the return air vent 13. The inclined design can save the vertical and horizontal space occupied by the condenser 4. At the same time, the inclined arrangement is conducive to natural or forced convection of airflow, which enhances the heat exchange effect.
[0040] The casing 1 of this utility model also houses an electrical control box 8, which is used to control the start-up, shutdown, and operation of the aforementioned equipment such as the evaporator 2, condenser 4, compressor 6, gas-liquid separator 7, and fan. An operation panel for easy worker control is also provided on the surface of the casing 1. A heat dissipation vent 15 is also provided near the electrical control box 8 in the casing 1. The heat dissipation vent 15 can efficiently dissipate the heat generated by the electrical control components, preventing equipment failure due to overheating, and simultaneously optimizing the airflow circulation inside the casing 1 to ensure stable operation of the overall system.
[0041] The bottom of the chassis 1 is also equipped with support legs 9. The support legs 9 support the bottom of the chassis 1 away from the ground, which makes it easy for a forklift to insert into the bottom of the chassis 1 to lift the chassis 1 for transportation, and also facilitates heat dissipation at the bottom of the chassis 1.
[0042] In summary, the heating system of this utility model for a hot-and-cold lithium battery aging chamber is designed with a refrigerant circulation channel. The evaporator 2 absorbs heat from the high-temperature air in the workshop, which is then pressurized by the compressor 6 and released into the return air of the hot-and-cold lithium battery aging chamber by the condenser 4, forming a closed-loop refrigerant circulation and achieving dual energy-saving benefits through energy recycling. The evaporator absorbs heat from the workshop environment, which is then pressurized by the compressor and provided by the condenser as a stable heat source for the hot-and-cold lithium battery aging chamber. While recovering heat, this heating system simultaneously generates corresponding cooling capacity to be fed back into the workshop, improving the working environment, reducing the ambient temperature, and decreasing the energy consumption of air conditioning. Therefore, this hot-and-cold lithium battery aging chamber heating system can simulate a high-temperature environment in the aging chamber, facilitating cyclic charge-discharge testing of lithium batteries to fully complete the battery aging process.
[0043] The above description is only a partial embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
