In order that the manner in which the present invention is attained and can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention briefly summarized above may be had by reference to the embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 to 2, an immersed energy storage battery thermal management system includes:

The battery management system 12 may also send out warning information according to the cell determination condition.
The battery management system 12 integrates a cell temperature acquisition unit, and the battery management system 12 records a numerical value according to the position coordinates of the battery box 9 where the cell 10 is located, for example, the temperature T (1, j, T) =20 ℃, that is, the surface temperature of the jth cell of the 1# battery box at the time T is 20 ℃.
The invention discloses a fire control method, which relates to the following processes:
s1: the battery management system 12 monitors the surface temperature of the battery cell 10 in real time, calculates the change rate of the surface temperature of the battery cell 10 along with time, and monitors whether smoke exists in the battery cabinet 11 in real time by the smoke sensor T1, and the smoke reaches a certain concentration to send a smoke alarm signal; the combustible gas detector T2 monitors the concentration of the combustible gas in the battery cabinet 11 in real time, and when the concentration of the combustible gas reaches a certain concentration, a combustible gas alarm signal is sent out and transmitted to the battery management system 12;
s2, if the battery management system 12 does not receive the smoke alarm signal and the combustible gas alarm signal and the cell temperature and the temperature change rate are not abnormal, namely the cell surface temperature is between 15 ℃ and 35 ℃, and the change rate of the cell surface temperature along with time is less than 1 ℃/S, the system keeps normal operation. At the moment, all the electromagnetic valves V1-VN in the system are opened, and the pump 1 operates according to the rated working condition;
and S3, if the battery management system 12 receives the smoke alarm signal, but the surface temperature of the battery core is between 15 and 35 ℃, and the change rate of the surface temperature of the battery core along with the time is less than 1 ℃/S, the smoke sensor T1 is considered to be in misoperation due to smoke generated by the outside because the battery cabinet is a non-sealing structure. At the moment, the battery management system 12 sends an alarm signal to a background to remind related personnel to go to a site to check the situation, the electromagnetic valves V1-VN in the system are still kept in a fully opened state, and the pump 1 still operates according to a rated working condition;
s4, if the battery management system 12 does not receive the smoke alarm signal and the combustible gas alarm signal, but monitors that the surface temperature of the battery core is higher than 60 ℃ or the change rate of the surface temperature of the battery core along with time is higher than 1 ℃/S, and further finds that the values of the liquid supply pressure sensor 3 and the liquid return pressure sensor 4 have obvious rising trends, the battery management system 12 sends out an alarm signal to a background, and meanwhile, the frequency of the pump 1 is adjusted, the system flow is improved, the heat exchange and the temperature reduction of the battery core in the battery box are accelerated, the further thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery core is prevented, and at the moment, electromagnetic valves V1-VN in the system are still kept in a fully opened state. When the battery management system 12 monitors that the surface temperature of the battery core and the change rate of the surface temperature along with the time are both recovered to be normal, the alarm signal is cancelled, and the frequency of the pump 1 is adjusted to a rated working condition;
s5, if the battery management system 12 receives a smoke alarm signal or a combustible gas alarm signal, and simultaneously monitors that the surface temperature of the battery core is more than 60 ℃, and the change rate of the surface temperature of the battery core along with time is more than 1 ℃/S, and simultaneously can further find that the numerical values of the liquid supply pressure sensor 3 and the liquid return pressure sensor 4 are steeply increased, the irreversible battery core thermal runaway phenomenon is judged to be generated at the moment, and the following work is further carried out:
a) The specific position of the battery core where the thermal runaway occurs is positioned by the battery management system 12, the power supply of the direct current system of the battery cabinet 11 is turned off, and meanwhile, an audible and visual alarm is sent to a background;
b) The battery management system 12 closes the electromagnetic valves of the battery boxes corresponding to the other cells which are not thermally out of control, and only opens the electromagnetic valves of the battery boxes corresponding to the cells which are thermally out of control, for example, if it is determined that the jth cell of the # 1 battery box is thermally out of control, V2 to VN all need to be closed, and only V1 is kept in an open state;
c) The battery management system 12 switches the pump 1 in the submerged cooling system to the jog mode, i.e. the pump 1 is started each time with a time interval t1 and for a time period t2. The t1 can be obtained by a plurality of module thermal runaway tests, and it is required to ensure that the cooling liquid 6 above the battery cell does not volatilize completely due to the absorption of heat generated by the thermal runaway of the battery cell in the time interval; t2 can be calculated from the following equation:
