Book excerpt: Technological advances in sealed alkaline batteries and battery charge - charge conditioning control techniques make the sealed battery system an attractive candidiate for aircraft application. Forecasted major advantages of sealed battery systems over existing vented aircraft batteries are: improved flight safety, reduced maintenance, longer service life, compatibility with aircraft electrical system, and system weight reduction. Utilization of sealed nickel-cadmium batteries for aircraft applications is considered possible by late 1968. Sealing the battery and integrating it with the aircraft electrical system introduces several major problems: compatibility with the environment and electrical system of the aircraft, providing a fast recharge capability, selecting and maintaining the proper voltage on charge, eliminating cell internal pressure buildup, developing reliable fail-safe features, and maintaining sealed operation for extended time periods. Efforts are in progress at the Air Force Aero Propulsion Laboratory to solve or to minimize these problems. The technical approaches, the progress in problem solution, and supporting technical data are reviewed. The approaches include: improvement of electrochemical performance, end-of-charge control techniques, and methods for conditioning the aircraft bus voltage for optimum battery performance. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sealed nickel cadmium battery with an integral power conditioning package called a Maintenance Free Aircraft Battery was evaluated for compatibility and performance in B-52H, C-135, KC-135 and UH-1F aircraft. Modifications were made to the battery system, as necessary to achieve satisfactory performance. Flight test results are presented. General compatibility and good performance of the first version of the maintenance free battery system was experimentally demonstrated. It is recommended that further work be undertaken to establish a reliable, long term system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapting sealed batteries to aircraft electrical systems is feasible. The major problem to be solved is the development of a suitable charge conditioner to operate with the battery and the aircraft electrical system. The interchanging of vented-cell, nickel-cadmium aircraft batteries with sealed-cell, nickel-cadmium aircraft batteries is considered possible by mid-1968. The major advantages of sealed-cell aircraft batteries are improved flight safety, maintenance-free operation, and improved performance in terms of life and reliability. (Author).

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nickel Cadmium battery covered by this Aerospace Standard is the type which is generally, although not exclusively, used for engine starting purposes in turbine-powered aircraft and/or on aircraft with turbine type Auxiliary Power Units. This turbine starting function requires high power delivery rates from the battery for 15 to 30 seconds or more for each engine start. This same battery may also be used at lower power delivery rates, as the final redundant source of emergency electrical energy for the operation of essential flight equipment for required periods of 30 to 60 minutes.The battery generally consists of a group of plastic jarred cells contained within an enclosing battery case. They are electrically connected in series with each other and usually terminate in an electrical connector mounted in the case front wall. The battery case may be secured to the aircraft structure by any of a number of clamping techniques.The outer or battery case is ventilated to purge it of gases, such as the hydrogen and oxygen produced in overcharge. This ventilation may be of the closed air circuit type which is accomplished by passing air through the case and then exhausting these gases overboard. An alternative method, which is used to purge these gases from the battery case, is to encourage their natural convective diffusion with the ambient air in the compartment which contains the battery, by use of relatively open construction of the battery case and cover.The battery, while in service, is generally charged by one of two methods: 1) by direct electrical connection to the D.C. bus which in turn is supplied by a regulated/controlled "constant potential" source such as a D.C. generator, or 2) from a dedicated "constant current" source in a system whereby the battery response voltage controls the termination, and also possibly the reinitiation, of that charge current. The "control" voltage of the "constant current" charge system or the regulated supply voltage of the "constant potential" system, may be compensated, or automatically adjusted, according to cell temperature, in order to more accurately control the state of "full charge" and minimize the amount of water used during overcharge.These batteries may be equipped internally with heaters, thermal switches, thermal sensors, etc. for performing various functions both inside the battery and/or in the aircraft/battery system. In addition, some battery types have air passages between cells with appropriate plenum chambers above and below the cells, for more positive responsive control of cell temperature, by the passage of conditioned air. AS8033 has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE Five-Year Review policy.

This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Use of Electric Batteries for Civil Aircraft Applications is a comprehensive and focused collection of SAE International technical papers, covering both the past and the present of the efforts to develop batteries that can be specifically installed in commercial aircraft. Recently, major commercial aircraft manufacturers started investigating the possibility of using Li-Ion batteries at roughly the same time that the military launched their first applications. As industry events unfolded, the FAA and committees from RTCA and SAE continued efforts to create meaningful standards for the design, testing, and certification of Li-Ion battery systems for commercial aviation. The first document issued was RTCA DO-311 on Mar. 13, 2008. As the industry continues to develop concepts and designs for the safe utilization of the new Li-Ion battery systems, many are already working on designs for all-electric aircraft, and small two-seat training aircraft are currently flying. The challenges for an all-electric, transport category aircraft will be significant, and the battery design ranks as one of the greatest. The more energy that is packaged into a small area to provide for the propulsion requirements, the more stringent are the design parameters and mitigation methodologies needed to make the system safe. The success or failure of this endeavor lies squarely on the shoulders of the engineers and scientists developing these new systems, and places additional pressure on the regulatory agencies to acquire the relevant knowledge for the creation of minimum operational performance standards for them. Edited by Michael Waller, an industry veteran, The Use of Electric Batteries for Civil Aircraft Applications, is a must-read for those interested in the new power generation making its way into commercial aircraft.

This book was released on 1964 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An MS-24498 battery was subjected to high rate discharges at room temperature and at -22F, to determine what factors are responsible for the high voltage loss. Polarization was found to be the major factor. Sintered plaques of 0.020 in, 0.035 in, and 0.050 in thickness were prepared, impregnated and formed in preparation for cell assembly. These cells are used for studying polarization and charge efficiency of sealed nickel-cadmium cells during high rates of charge and discharge. High purity nickel and cadmium salt solutions were prepared. These solutions are used to impregnate plates for studying self-discharge in sealed nickel-cadmium cells. VO-6 cells, containing Adhydrodes, were overcharged at sufficiently high currents to maintain internal cell pressures ranging from 5 psi to 65 psi. The adhydrode power output, as a function of Adhydrode to cathode load resistance at these various pressures, were determined. Cd/Cd(OH)2 coulometors were fabricated for studying their voltage characteristics. (Author).
