Description

Energy storage liquid cooling system and use method thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of liquid cooling technology, and in particular to an energy storage liquid cooling system and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the cooling technologies for lithium battery energy storage systems primarily rely on air cooling and liquid cooling. Liquid cooling processes urgently need to mature, and efficient injection of coolant into the energy storage system's pipelines and subsequent drainage are crucial. The commonly used coolant is ethylene glycol-water solution, an organic solvent primarily composed of ethylene glycol and water. Ethylene glycol is an alcohol. The presence of oxidants in liquid cooling systems (such as oxygen in the air) can easily oxidize to acids, leading to acid corrosion, which can easily corrode aluminum cooling plates and pipelines.

[0003] In the existing injection process of energy storage systems, some use an open system and directly pour water coolant from the injection port. However, this will result in low water pressure in the pipeline, making it impossible to completely expel the air in the pipeline, and frequent secondary refilling is required; others use an external water pump to pressurize the pipeline to inject water coolant into the pipeline, but there are problems with low exhaust efficiency and a long time required for a single injection. The water coolant in the pipeline needs to be self-circulated multiple times to expel the air; at the same time, after the coolant has been used for a long time, the existing energy storage system also has the problem of incomplete drainage when draining, which seriously affects the operating efficiency of the liquid cooling system.

[0024] To illustrate the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is given in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] 1 to 4 , an energy storage liquid cooling system includes a vacuum pumping device, a liquid injection device, a three-way valve 1 , a water cooling unit 3 and a liquid cooling circuit 2 ;

[0026] The air inlet of the vacuum pumping device is connected to the first valve port pipeline of the three-way valve 1 through the liquid storage tank 4, and the second valve port of the three-way valve 1 is connected to the liquid injection port pipeline of the liquid injection device;

[0027] The third valve port of the three-way valve 1 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the water cooling unit 3, and is connected to the liquid cooling circuit 2 pipe through the water cooling unit 3;

[0028] The liquid storage tank 4 is provided with a pressure relief port 5 , and the liquid cooling circuit 2 is provided with a liquid drain port 6 .

[0029] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the three-way valve 1 is used to respectively connect the vacuum pumping device, the liquid injection device, and the liquid cooling circuit 2 with the water cooling unit 3. When draining, the air in the liquid cooling circuit 2 is evacuated by relying on the vacuum pumping device, and then the liquid cooling circuit 2 is kept in a closed vacuum state, and then the coolant is injected into the liquid cooling circuit 2 through the liquid injection device, and the liquid is efficiently injected to avoid air residue in the pipe. At the same time, relying on the same tooling and pipelines, the liquid storage tank 4, the drain port 6 and the vacuum pumping device can also be combined to achieve efficient negative pressure drainage, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the liquid cooling system.

[0030] Furthermore, the water cooling unit 3 includes a two-way valve 7 and a water pump 8;

[0031] One end of the two-way valve 7 is connected to the third valve port pipeline of the three-way valve 1, and the other end of the two-way valve 7 is connected to the water inlet pipeline of the water pump 8;

[0032] The water pump 8 is disposed on the liquid cooling circuit 2 .

[0033] From the above description, it can be seen that the water cooling unit 3 is mainly composed of a two-way valve 7 and a water pump 8. The two-way valve 7 controls whether the liquid cooling circuit 2 is in a closed state, assisting in achieving negative pressure in the pipe, etc., while the water pump 8 accelerates the circulation flow speed of the coolant in the liquid cooling circuit 2 to enhance the cooling effect.

[0034] Furthermore, the vacuum extraction device includes a vacuum pump 9;

[0035] The air inlet of the vacuum pump 9 is connected to the upper air vent pipe of the liquid storage tank 4, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 4 is provided with a through hole connected to the first valve port pipe of the three-way valve 1.

[0036] From the above description, it can be seen that the vacuum extraction device mainly uses the vacuum pump 9 to perform extraction and exhaust operations, and the liquid storage tank 4 cooperates with the vacuum pump 9. The interior of the liquid storage tank 4 serves as a component of the ventilation pipeline and also serves as a coolant storage area during drainage. It cooperates with the three-way valve 1 to achieve multi-purpose use, making the system highly integrated, effectively reducing the redundancy of tooling, and improving the system operation efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, the liquid injection device includes a liquid infusion tank 10 and a liquid infusion pump 11;

[0038] The liquid outlet of the liquid replenishing tank 10 is connected to the water inlet pipeline of the liquid replenishing pump 11 , and the liquid outlet of the liquid replenishing pump 11 is connected to the second valve port pipeline of the three-way valve 1 .

[0039] As can be seen from the above description, the liquid replenishing pump 11 provides power to transport the coolant in the liquid replenishing tank 10 to the liquid cooling circuit 2 .

[0040] Furthermore, the liquid cooling circuit 2 comprises a U-shaped circuit for placement adjacent to the energy storage device;

[0041] The U-shaped loop includes two vertical pipelines and one horizontal pipeline, and a drain port 6 is provided at the connection between the vertical pipeline and the horizontal pipeline.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, a drain port 6 is provided at the connection between the vertical pipeline and the horizontal pipeline of the U-shaped loop, which helps to increase the drainage speed.

[0043] Furthermore, it also includes a main controller;

[0044] The pressure relief port 5 and the liquid discharge port 6 are both provided with conduction valves;

[0045] The main controller is electrically connected to the vacuum pumping device, the liquid injection device, the three-way valve 1, the water cooling unit 3 and the conduction valve respectively.

[0046] From the above description, it can be seen that by setting up an electric controller, the status of each component of the liquid cooling system can be automatically controlled, and the control part can be integrated into the energy storage system.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 5 , a method for using an energy storage liquid cooling system, which is applied to the above-mentioned energy storage liquid cooling system, includes the following steps:

[0048] S1. During liquid injection, the first and third valve ports of the three-way valve 1 are controlled to be connected, the pressure relief port 5 and the liquid drain port 6 are closed, and the air in the liquid cooling circuit 2 is extracted through the vacuum extraction device;

[0049] S2. Close the water inlet of the water cooling unit 3, open the pressure relief port 5, and relieve the pressure of the pipeline connected to the liquid storage tank 4 and the three-way valve 1;

[0050] S3, controlling the second valve port and the third valve port of the three-way valve 1 to be connected, opening the water inlet of the water-cooling unit 3, controlling the liquid injection device to inject liquid into the liquid cooling circuit 2 through the water-cooling unit 3, and closing the water inlet of the water-cooling unit 3 after the liquid injection is completed;

[0051] S4. When draining, control the first valve port and the third valve port of the three-way valve 1 to be connected, close the pressure relief port 5 and the drain port 6, introduce the coolant in the liquid cooling circuit 2 into the liquid storage tank 4 through the vacuum pumping device, close the water inlet of the water cooling unit 3, open the drain port 6, and complete the drainage.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the three-way valve 1 is used to respectively connect the vacuum pumping device, the liquid injection device, and the liquid cooling circuit 2 with the water cooling unit 3. When draining, the air in the liquid cooling circuit 2 is evacuated by relying on the vacuum pumping device, and then the liquid cooling circuit 2 is kept in a closed vacuum state, and then the coolant is injected into the liquid cooling circuit 2 through the liquid injection device, and the liquid is efficiently injected to avoid air residue in the pipe. At the same time, relying on the same tooling and pipelines, the liquid storage tank 4, the drain port 6 and the vacuum pumping device can also be combined to achieve efficient negative pressure drainage, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the liquid cooling system.

[0053] Furthermore, the closing of the water inlet of the water cooling unit 3 is specifically as follows:

[0054] Close the two-way valve 7;

[0055] The specific steps of opening the water inlet of the water cooling unit 3 are as follows:

[0056] Open the two-way valve 7.

[0057] As can be seen from the above description, the two-way valve 7 is used to control whether the liquid cooling circuit 2 is in a closed state, thereby assisting in achieving negative pressure in the pipe.

[0058] Furthermore, the control liquid injection device injects liquid into the liquid cooling circuit 2 through the water cooling unit 3 specifically as follows:

[0059] The liquid replenishing pump 11 is started to deliver the coolant in the liquid replenishing tank 10 to the liquid cooling circuit 2 through the three-way valve 1 and the water cooling unit 3 in sequence.

[0060] From the above description, it can be seen that the vacuum extraction device mainly uses the vacuum pump 9 to perform extraction and exhaust operations, and the liquid storage tank 4 cooperates with the vacuum pump 9. The interior of the liquid storage tank 4 serves as a component of the ventilation pipeline and also serves as a coolant storage area during drainage. It cooperates with the three-way valve 1 to achieve multi-purpose use, making the system highly integrated, effectively reducing the redundancy of tooling, and improving the system operation efficiency.

[0061] 1 to 4 , the first embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0062] An energy storage liquid cooling system, as shown in FIG1 , includes a vacuum pumping device, a liquid injection device, a three-way valve 1, a water cooling unit 3, and a liquid cooling circuit 2. The water cooling unit 3 includes a two-way valve 7 and a water pump 8. The liquid injection device includes a liquid replenishing tank 10 and a liquid replenishing pump 11.

[0064] In this embodiment, the vacuum exhaust device includes a vacuum pump 9; the air inlet of the vacuum pump 9 is connected to the upper air vent pipe of the liquid storage tank 4, and the bottom of the liquid storage tank 4 is provided with a through hole connected to the first valve port pipe of the three-way valve 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the energy storage liquid cooling system integrates exhaust, liquid injection, and liquid drainage, as shown below:

[0066] As shown in Figure 2, when the first valve port and the third valve port of the third-way valve 1 are connected, the vacuum pumping device, the three-way valve 1, the two-way valve 7 and the liquid cooling circuit 2 form a ventilation circuit, and the vacuum pumping device removes the air in the liquid cooling circuit 2. Then, the two-way valve 7 is closed, and negative pressure is formed in the liquid cooling circuit 2.

[0067] 3 , when the second valve port and the third valve port of the third-way valve 1 are connected, the liquid injection device, the three-way valve 1, the two-way valve 7, and the liquid cooling circuit 2 form a liquid injection path, and the cooling water in the liquid injection tank 10 is injected into the liquid cooling circuit 2 by the liquid injection pump 11;

[0068] As shown in Figure 4, when the first valve port and the third valve port of the third-way valve 1 are connected, the vacuum pump 9, the liquid storage tank 4, the three-way valve 1, the two-way valve 7 and the liquid cooling circuit 2 form a drainage passage, and the vacuum pump 9 is used to draw the coolant in the liquid cooling circuit 2 into the liquid storage tank 4, and then a negative pressure is formed in the liquid cooling circuit 2, and then the drain port 6 is opened to discharge the remaining coolant through the negative pressure.

[0069] In this embodiment, the liquid cooling circuit 2 comprises a U-shaped circuit for placement adjacent to the energy storage device;

[0070] The U-shaped loop includes two vertical pipelines and one horizontal pipeline. A drain port 6 is provided at the connection between the vertical pipeline and the horizontal pipeline.

[0071] Please refer to FIG5 , the second embodiment of the present invention is:

[0072] A method for using an energy storage liquid cooling system, as shown in FIG5 , is applied to an energy storage liquid cooling system of Example 1, and includes the following steps:

[0073] S1. During liquid injection, the first and third valve ports of the three-way valve 1 are controlled to be connected, the pressure relief port 5 and the liquid drain port 6 are closed, and the air in the liquid cooling circuit 2 is extracted through the vacuum extraction device;

[0074] S2. Close the water inlet of the water cooling unit 3, open the pressure relief port 5, and relieve the pressure of the pipeline connected to the liquid storage tank 4 and the three-way valve 1;

[0075] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , air is first extracted during liquid injection. The first and third valve ports of the three-way valve 1 are controlled to communicate with each other, the pressure relief port 5 and the liquid drain port 6 are closed, the two-way valve 7 is opened, and the water pump 8 is turned off. The air in the pipeline is extracted by the vacuum pump 9 to form a certain vacuum degree. The two-way valve 7 is then closed, forming a closed pipeline system from the water cooling unit 3 to the battery cluster. At the same time, the vacuum pump 9 is turned off and the pressure relief port 5 is opened to discharge the negative pressure in the external pipeline including the three-way valve 1.

[0076] S3, controlling the second valve port and the third valve port of the three-way valve 1 to be connected, opening the water inlet of the water-cooling unit 3, controlling the liquid injection device to inject liquid into the liquid cooling circuit 2 through the water-cooling unit 3, and closing the water inlet of the water-cooling unit 3 after the liquid injection is completed;

[0077] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, after the gas is extracted, the water-cooling liquid is pressurized into the pipeline through the injection pump, the discharge port 6 remains closed, and the water pump 8 of the water-cooling unit 3 is also turned off. The two-way valve 7 is opened to maintain a passage from the water-cooling unit 3 to the liquid cooling circuit 2; when the water pressure in the liquid cooling circuit 2 reaches a certain value, the two-way valve 7 is closed to close the entire liquid cooling circuit 2, and the liquid replenishing pump 11 is turned off at the same time.

[0078] S4. When draining, control the first valve port and the third valve port of the three-way valve 1 to be connected, close the pressure relief port 5 and the drain port 6, introduce the coolant in the liquid cooling circuit 2 into the liquid storage tank 4 through the vacuum pumping device, close the water inlet of the water cooling unit 3, open the drain port 6, and complete the drainage.

[0079] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, after the water-cooling liquid has been used for 2 to 3 years, it is necessary to drain the water-cooling liquid in the pipeline and replace it; at this time, the drain port 6, the pressure relief port 5 and the water pump 8 of the water-cooling unit 3 are closed, and the two-way valve 7 is opened to maintain a passage between the water-cooling unit 3 and the liquid cooling circuit 2; the first valve port and the third valve port of the three-way valve 1 are controlled to be connected, and the vacuum pump 9 is turned on. The water-cooling liquid in the pipeline will be drawn out and flow into the liquid storage tank 4 due to the negative pressure. Due to the negative pressure, the space in the pipe will be squeezed to a certain extent, and part of the water-cooling liquid may not be drawn out. At this time, the two-way valve 7 and the vacuum pump 9 are closed, and the remaining water-cooling liquid is discharged by opening the drain port 6.

[0080] In summary, the present invention provides an energy storage liquid cooling system and a method of using the same, which utilizes a three-way valve to respectively connect a vacuum pumping device, a liquid injection device, and a liquid cooling circuit with a water cooling unit. When draining, the air in the liquid cooling circuit is evacuated by the vacuum pumping device, and then the liquid cooling circuit is maintained in a closed vacuum state, and then the coolant is injected into the liquid cooling circuit through the liquid injection device, which efficiently injects liquid and avoids air residue in the pipe. At the same time, relying on the same tooling and pipelines, the liquid storage tank, the drain port and the vacuum pumping device can also be combined to achieve efficient negative pressure drainage, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the liquid cooling system.
