Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During battery testing, flammable gases such as H2, CO, and CxHx particles are released into the environment due to the inefficiency of common filters in absorbing these gases, posing a pollution and safety risk.
Innovation Solution
A battery testing system that includes an ignition device within a test chamber to combust exhaust gases produced during testing, followed by filtration of the combusted gases using a cyclone filter and a fine particle filter to ensure safe release.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If common filters are used to capture contaminants in exhaust gases, then particle filtration is improved, but flammable gases (H2, CO, hydrocarbons) are not effectively removed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical state of flammable gases by combusting them at elevated temperatures (typically above 600°C) in a controlled chamber, transforming hazardous flammable gases into less harmful combustion products (CO2, H2O, heat), thereby resolving the contradiction between particle filtration efficiency and flammable gas removal
Solution Approach 2:
The invention converts the harmful flammable gases into beneficial or less harmful substances through controlled combustion, where the energy released is utilized and the combustion products (CO2, H2O) are environmentally acceptable, thus turning the harmful emission problem into a solution
2Object-generated harmful factors
If an ignition device is added to combust exhaust gases, then flammable gas removal is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the filtration system and combustion system into an integrated exhaust treatment unit where flammable gases are combusted in a controlled chamber and the resulting gases are then passed through the existing filter system, combining multiple functions (combustion, filtration, emission control) into a unified device that manages complexity while achieving comprehensive exhaust treatment
3Reliability
If exhaust gases are combusted before filtration, then flammable gas safety is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system utilizes the inherent flammability and chemical energy of the exhaust gases themselves as the fuel source for combustion, requiring only an ignition source to initiate the reaction. The exhaust gases self-combust without needing external fuel or continuous energy input, thereby achieving safety improvement with minimal additional energy consumption
