ZomeworksModel 79054 -4 BAT Tank Top Cool Cell Enclosure

SHARE

t`s an outdoor insulated, metal enclosure that is passively cooled. They are used to protect batteries and sensitive electronic euqipment from temperature extremes. They use no electricity and require no scheduled maintenance. These have no moving parts other than water. The Tank-Top Cool Cell is an new design that simplifies production and reduces costs which makes it more affordable so it is within reach of all system designers and intergrators.

Why Use The Cool Cell?

Batteries and electronic equipments don`t like the heat. Cool Cells protect equipment from the ravages of heat, which extends reliability and prevents premature failure. Unprotected battery boxes even insulated battery boxes are battery "ovens". A Cool Cell battery enclosure will extend battery life 2 to 5 times beyond what an unprotected "oven" box will do/ They cost slightly more than conventional enclosures, but the difference in price is recovered when the first set of batteries don`t need replacement. Emergency service calls, systems downtime, unscheduled maintenance, and frequent battery replacement is expensive. The Cool Cell Enclosure minimizes these problems for a quick retrun on investment.

This is How it Works

The top portion of the enclosure is the passive cooling systems. It has a water filled, insulated memebrane-lines tank with a metal floor. The tank floor is above the battery or equipment compartment. The floor is un-insulated and is the ceiling of the compartment below. The lid of the enclosure is the tank top and the radiator. It is in direct contact with the water. At night the rediator and top layer of water cools. The cooled water falls to the bottom of the tank as the warmer water rises up. Convective circulation continues throughout the night and the entire tank of water is cooled. The cool tank keeps the compartment and contents cool throughout the day. In the evening another cooling cycle begins. The cycle is repeated every 24 hrs.

Performance

Cools Cells perform best in hot, dry, climates but still work well even in tropical Florida. As a rule of thumb, the average battery Cool Cell temperature will be close to the lower 1/4 point of the daily high and low. If the daily high is 90 Degrees Fahrenheit and the overnight low is 70 Degrees Fahrenheit, the Cool Cell will average 75 Degrees Fahrenheit. They also guard agaisnt sub-freezing temperatures in winter. As reservoir temperatures approach 39 Degrees Fahrenheit, water expands, which stops convection and further cooling. If water in the reservoir freezes, the heat of fusion adds warmth to the enclosure. This guards the freezing point until all the water is frozen. When grid power is available, heaters are recommended for cold climates.

The Convetive Hydrogen Vent

All battery Cool Cells are fitted with the Convective H2 Vent to rid the enclosure of hydrogen gas generated when batteries are charged. The vent flows only when hydrogen is present. It resists all other air flow to preserve the cool interior environment. Passive operation of the vent assures reliability.
