A sodium-sulfur battery is a secondary battery that uses molten sodium as the cathode active material, molten sulfur/sodium polysulfide as the anode active material, and a sodium ion conductive solid electrolyte such as β-alumina or β″-alumina as the electrolyte. Both sodium and sulfur are solid at room temperature, and the sodium ion conductivity of the solid electrolyte increases as the temperature increases.In order to operate efficiently as a secondary battery, both sodium and sulfur are in a molten state. Located in
In addition, sodium polysulfide Na 2 Sx (discharge end is x~3), which is a reaction product of sodium and sulfur, also needs to be kept at a temperature of about 300° C., where it is in a molten state.
In actual use, a single sodium-sulfur battery is rarely used; multiple sodium-sulfur batteries connected in series or parallel are called an aggregate battery, and multiple batteries are connected in series or parallel. The scale of the battery collection is determined according to the desired battery output.

Conventionally, methods such as raising the temperature of an assembled battery to the operating temperature and keeping it warm, or cooling it to prevent overheating due to heat generated during discharge, have been proposed in JP-A-49-128233, JP-A-50-8035, and JP-A-50-8035. Many methods are known, such as from Japanese Patent Publication No. 103232/1983. For example, there are methods in which electrical resistors (such as nichrome wire, nichrome ribbon, etc.) are placed on the top, bottom, or side surfaces of the assembled battery, and methods in which the lower part of the assembled battery is raised and hot air is sent in from outside the battery. In all of these methods, the current terminal of the battery and the heater terminal or air outlet for heating and cooling are separated, and some of them are industrially effective when configuring a small-scale collective high-temperature battery device. However, when increasing the scale, interconnections become complicated and heat loss is large, which poses problems in practical use.

In a conventional high-temperature battery assembly, if some of the battery cells are damaged or damaged, the defective battery is replaced with a new one and the high-temperature battery assembly is rebuilt. The replacement work was extremely complicated as it involved reconnecting the temperature control system and electrical circuit system.
This significantly reduced work efficiency. Furthermore, since the temperature control system and the electric circuit system are separately provided in the collective high temperature battery device, a large amount of constituent materials are required for them, and the heat loss therefrom is too large to be ignored.

An embodiment is shown below based on the drawings. 1 is a sodium-sulfur cell, 2 is a cathode current collector in which a plurality of the sodium-sulfur cells 1 are connected in series and in parallel, and 3 is an anode current collector in which a plurality of the sodium-sulfur cells Y are connected in series and in parallel. These current collectors are welded or pressed (e.g., joined by screws, springs, etc.) to the sodium-sulfur cell 1. The assembled battery is housed in a heat-resistant inner container 4, and insulating materials 6, 6' are arranged in multiple or composite layers around the outer periphery of the inner container 4, which are then housed in a heat-resistant outer container 5 to form a sodium-sulfur battery device as an assembled high-temperature battery device. Furthermore, the assembled high-temperature battery device is provided with an inflow and outflow member 7 for the heating or cooling medium for temperature control. During heating, electrically insulating high-temperature pressurized gas or liquid, such as nitrogen gas, air, carbon dioxide gas, oil, etc., is supplied or discharged through the inflow/outflow member 7 as a heating medium, and during cooling, electrically insulating low-temperature pressurized gas or liquid is supplied or discharged through the inflow/outflow member 7. The inflow/outflow member 7 is made of a good conductor (such as copper) coated with stainless steel to improve heat resistance and electrical conductivity, and a heat insulating material is provided on the outer surface for thermal insulation. Furthermore, an electrical insulating member 8 (such as a ceramic cylinder) is provided to electrically insulate the inflow/outflow member 7 from the outer container 5 and the inner container 4. 9 is an electrical insulating material, such as mica or ceramic, for providing electrical insulation between the assembled battery and the inner container 4. The assembled high-temperature battery device of the present invention is further characterized in that the ends of the inflow/outflow member 7, which passes the heating medium and the cooling medium, located inside the heat-resistant inner container 4 are electrically connected to the cathode current collector 2 and the anode current collector 3, respectively, and the inflow/outflow member 7 for the heat medium is used as a current terminal.

This inflow/outflow member 7 may be integrally molded with the cathode current collector 2 or the anode current collector 3. When raising the temperature, electrically insulating high-temperature pressurized gas is blown from the inflow/outflow member 7 provided on the side of the outer container 5, and the plurality of sodium-sulfur cells as a collective battery in the heat-resistant inner container 4 are heated. Increase temperature. After the blown high-temperature pressurized gas circulates within the heat-resistant inner container 4, it passes through the inflow/outflow member 7' provided on the side opposite to the inflow/outflow member 7, and is further transferred to other adjacent collective high temperature battery devices. A plurality of sodium-sulfur cells as an internal battery assembly are similarly heated through the inflow/outflow member.
Note that since the inflow/outflow member 7' is electrically and thermally connected to the inflow/outflow members of other adjacent collective high temperature battery devices, it is possible to raise the temperature of a large number of collective high temperature battery devices at once. . Furthermore, the connection between the inflow and outflow member 7' and the inflow and outflow members of other adjacent collective high-temperature battery devices has a structure with low electrical and thermal loss, but in the present invention, the connection method is Although it is not specified in the text because there is no direct relationship, bolt tightening using a union or the like is common.

Maintaining battery temperature between the collective high-temperature battery device with the structure of the present invention, in which the temperature control fluid inflow/outflow member as described above serves as the current terminal of the collective high-temperature battery device, and a conventional collective high-temperature battery device of the same scale. compared energy. In the conventional collective high temperature battery device, there are at least six members protruding from the outer container 5, such as the heater terminal for upper heating, the heater terminal for bottom heating, or the heater terminal for side heating, and the current terminal of the collective high temperature battery device. There are two locations, and at least eight members in total protrude to the outside. On the other hand, according to the present invention, the inflow/outflow member 7,
With only two 7′, the number was reduced to 1/4 and the heat dissipation from them was significantly reduced. For example, when assembling a 115AH collective high-temperature battery device by connecting 28 sodium-sulfur cells with a battery capacity of 27AH in series and parallel, the insulation will be 6cm thick with isolite boat 3cm thick and foamed asbestos 3cm thick. If the layer is placed around the heat-resistant inner container, the operating temperature of conventional collective high-temperature battery devices can be reduced to 350℃.
It took 254WH/H to keep the battery warm at 350℃, and 172WH/H was required due to the generation of heat due to the internal resistance of the battery when discharging at a 5-hour rate.In contrast, in the case of the present invention, it takes 254WH/H to keep the battery warm at 350℃. The energy required for this is 180WH/H and 120WH/H, respectively.
H, and approximately 30% of heat loss was prevented. This is because the temperature control member and the current terminal are integrated. Furthermore, even when multiple high-temperature battery devices are connected, conventionally it is necessary to connect the temperature control circuit system and the electric circuit system separately. By connecting the inflow and outflow members respectively, the temperature control circuit system and the electric circuit system can be connected at the same time, and work efficiency has been more than doubled compared to conventional systems. Furthermore, in the present invention, by arranging the inflow and outflow members provided in the collective high temperature battery device at the same position and location, assembly and connection are further facilitated, and the structure of the inflow and outflow members is simplified, and it is easy to use. Materials can also be minimized.
