Impact of monoblock design and battery packaging on temperature excursion of nickel/iron batteries
Abstract
The temperature distribution exist between a single cell and a close pack 5 cell monoblock. During a three hour constant current discharge, the temperature of the monoblock exceeds the temperature limit set by the battery developer. This problem may be alleviated by providing intercell air spaces and applying forced air cooling to the battery. The importance of maintaining uniform air flow distribution in a full scale nickel/iron battery pack was also illustrated using an example.
