Application: Aircraft battery cooling and fire suppression (Patent ID: US20240204297A1)
Lockheed Martin Corp. has developed systems and methods for cooling and fire suppression in battery modules of aircraft. The invention involves a battery thermal management system with a storage vessel containing a cooling propellant, a conduit connecting the storage vessel to the battery modules, a vessel valve controlling propellant flow, and a venting system with nozzles directing propellant outside the aircraft. The system also includes module valves, a fire suppressant storage vessel, and an expansion nozzle to reduce propellant temperature.
Additionally, the system features temperature sensors, controllers, and a venting system with pressure-mounted plugs. The method involves controlling vessel valves based on module temperatures, detecting fires with sensors, and activating fire suppressant valves. The system is designed to efficiently cool battery modules and suppress fires, enhancing safety and performance in aircraft operations.
