PRIMARY METAL-AIR POWER SOURCE AND VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR THE SAME |
摘要 |
A primary metal-air power source containing one or more metal-air cells incorporating an air manager in a power source housing of the power source. The power source provides intermittent use at high power levels over a long lifetime while demonstrating a high utilization of the metal, such as zinc, making up the metal-air cell's metal anode. The power source provides 80 % of its amp hour capacity for at least 30 days after the initial partial discharge at a power level of at least 50 milliwatts. The cumulative run time may comprise any number of intermittent connections to a load having varying duration. The ventilation system of the power source draws ambient airflow through an isolating passageway by operating an air mover which distributes the airflow to the metal-air cells. A portion of the airflow is recirculated by the air mover and returned to the metal-air cells and the remaining portion of the airflow is moved through a second isolating passageway to the exterior of the power source's power source housing. The movement of airflow into and out of the power source is minimized during in-service storage. |
