Description

Acid circulation formation system for tightly-assembled battery and formation method using same
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of storage batteries, in particular to a tightly-assembled battery acid circulation formation system and a formation method using the same.
Background
During the formation process, there is mainly an exchange equilibrium between the electrolyte and heat with the outside. In the early stage of formation after the addition of acid, lead oxide and the like in the polar plate react with added sulfuric acid to generate a large amount of heat, the concentration of the sulfuric acid is reduced, the heat is released to the outside along with the passage of time, and the temperature of the electrolyte is gradually reduced. Because the charging is exothermic reaction and the discharging is endothermic reaction, the temperature of the electrolyte sometimes rises and sometimes falls in the formation process, but the electric quantity charged in the formation process is large, the heat effect of current always exists, and the whole system of the pole group and the electrolyte dissipates heat to the outside. The electrolyte dissipates to the outside along with heat, and particularly in the later formation stage, water in the electrolyte is electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen to escape to the outside, so that the amount of the electrolyte is reduced. With the progress of the formation electrochemical reaction, sulfuric acid is released from the polar plate, and the concentration of the sulfuric acid rises.
In a flooded cell, the electrolyte can flow back and forth in the cell during formation due to the large gap between the plates and separators. The existing acid circulation container formation system for the storage battery mainly introduces acid liquor in a circulation groove into the battery through a guide pipe and the like, then the acid liquor enters an acid return groove through the guide pipe and the like, and finally the acid liquor returns to the circulation groove to complete an acid liquor circulation process, and heat and hydrogen generated in the container formation process of the battery can be taken away in the process.
For the valve-regulated battery which is tightly assembled, the electrolyte is in a poor solution state, the front, the back, the left, the right and the lower parts of the pole group are in close contact with the battery tank, the electrolyte is adsorbed in the pole plate and the partition plate, the flowable electrolyte in the battery is very little, even in a rich solution environment during formation, only the upper part of the pole group can exchange substances with the outside, and the exchange rate of the electrolyte is very low, so that the acid circulation container formation system of the existing rich solution battery is not suitable for tightly assembling the valve-regulated battery.
In addition, because the electrolyte is an excellent ionic conductor, in the acid circulation formation system of the conventional rich-solution battery, the electrolyte flows out from the same position and finally joins at the same other position, so that different batteries and different cells in the same loop are connected and short-circuited by the electrolyte, thereby generating leakage current and having low formation efficiency. Even if the bubbles generated during formation can partially cut off the current and reduce the leakage current, the leakage current cannot be completely eliminated. The electrical spark generated by the leakage current may even ignite the hydrogen generated by the water decomposition during the formation process, with the risk of explosion and fire.
When the conventional tightly assembled AGM battery is formed, power needs to be supplied to ensure the acid content in the finished batteryAdding a higher density (e.g. 1.26 g/cm) to the pool3) The sulfuric acid solution is used for formation, and because the battery can generate a large amount of heat in the formation process, and acid liquor in the battery is less, circulating water is required to be used outside the battery for cooling. In order to maintain the consistency of the battery, the battery formation is generally carried out by adopting a method of quantitatively adding acid and extracting acid in the later stage of formation, and the requirement on equipment is high.
Therefore, the acid circulation formation system suitable for the tightly assembled battery is developed, and the formation is carried out by using the circularly flowing electrolyte, so that the electrolyte in the battery has enough exchange capacity with the outside, and the problem can be solved.
