Chapter 3448: Learn from past experience to solve current problems
After hearing Wu Hao's explanation, Wen Changhong couldn't help but nodded. He had to admit that using seawater for cooling was indeed a direct and efficient solution.
The huge specific heat capacity of seawater can quickly absorb and take away a large amount of heat generated by the battery, thus ensuring the stable operation of the battery pack.
Thinking of this, Wen Changhong raised his head and looked at Wu Hao, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes. He said slowly: "Mr. Wu, your suggestion is very inspiring. Using seawater for cooling is indeed a solution worth considering.
However, this will also bring us some new challenges, such as how to design an effective seawater circulation system, how to ensure the sealing and corrosion resistance of the system, and how to ensure the safety of the system in an emergency.
In addition, the entire cooling system will inevitably increase the weight of the entire battery module, resulting in an increase in the tonnage of the submarine, further increasing the cost of this new all-electric submarine.
Furthermore, how to design this cooling system can take away the heat inside the battery pack, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the battery pack is uniform, and there will be no overall or local temperature accumulation, superposition, and sudden increase.
Finally, if the cooling system is damaged and seawater enters, how to effectively prevent seawater from corroding the entire battery pack and prevent seawater from entering the battery pack, causing chemical reactions in the battery, causing explosions, fires, and other dangerous situations."
After hearing this, Wu Hao nodded slightly and agreed with Wen Changhong's considerations. He knew that every technological innovation was accompanied by countless problems that needed to be overcome, but it was these challenges that drove the progress of science and technology.
Wu Hao said calmly: "Director Wen, every question you raised is to the point. This is exactly the direction we need to study and discuss in depth next."
He paused and seemed to be organizing his words to make his explanation more understandable: "As for the design of the seawater circulation system, we will draw on existing mature technologies and innovate based on the special environment of the submarine.
For example, we can use micropumps and sophisticated piping systems to ensure that seawater can flow through the battery pack evenly and efficiently, taking away heat.
If necessary, we can provide relevant technical information on the cooling system used in the Yaoguang Building in our park, commonly known as the Torch Building."
Torch Building?
Hearing this, everyone at the scene had different reactions. Some showed surprise, some nodded appreciatively, and some showed doubts.
Seeing this situation, Luo Kai took the initiative to explain to Wu Hao: "The Torch Building is a building in the Linghu Headquarters Park of Haoyu Technology. The super quantum computer of Haoyu Technology is placed on the top of this building, and the middle and lower floors are
It prevents a server cluster array and looks like a torch, so it is called the Torch Building."
Speaking of this, Luo Kai glanced at everyone, and then continued: "In order to cool down the super quantum computer and huge server cluster array in this building, the designer designed an intelligent cooling system for this building.
The water from the artificial lake in the park is absorbed into the top of the building, and then relies on gravity to stay along the cooling system from high to low, taking away the heat generated when the super quantum computer and server cluster array are running, and reinjecting it into the artificial lake for cooling.
Then wait to use it again.
This is a very efficient and energy-saving intelligent cooling system, and it has also won relevant design awards."
Wu Hao followed Luo Kai's words and continued: "Director Wen, fellow experts, as Master Luo said, we have accumulated rich experience in the cooling system of the Torch Building.
This system is not only efficient and energy-saving, but also stable and reliable, and has been verified in actual operation.
I think that by drawing on this successful experience and improving and optimizing it according to the special needs of submarine battery packs, I believe it should be able to meet the cooling needs of battery packs in submarines."
Wu Hao's words made the atmosphere in the conference room more lively. The experts were whispering and discussing, showing strong interest in Wu Hao's proposal.
Wen Changhong also nodded frequently. He felt the professionalism and enthusiasm of Wu Hao's team.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Mr. Wu, your proposal is very attractive.
As you said, we can indeed learn from the experience of the Torch Building's cooling system to design a seawater circulation system suitable for submarine use.
However, this process is certainly full of challenges and uncertainties. What are your thoughts on this?"
Wu Hao smiled slightly, he understood Wen Changhong's worries. He said slowly: "Director Wen, any technological innovation is accompanied by risks and challenges.
But it is these challenges that drive us forward.
Our team has rich R&D experience and innovation capabilities, and we believe that through continuous efforts and exploration, we will be able to overcome these problems and provide a stable and reliable seawater circulation system for submarines."
His voice was firm and powerful, seeming to inject a strong confidence into everyone present. Experts expressed their approval and support, and warm applause erupted in the conference room.
As for Wu Hao, he waited for the applause to fall, then looked around at the crowd, his tone revealing firm confidence. Then he gestured with his hands in the air, as if he was describing a three-dimensional model, and then said.
"As for the sealing and corrosion resistance of this circulating cooling system, we recommend using the most advanced materials and processes to ensure long-term stable operation.
At the same time, we will also consider safety issues in emergencies and design multiple safety protection measures, including automatic shutdown systems, leak detection devices, etc., to deal with various risks that may arise."
He glanced at Wen Changhong and continued: "As for safety issues in emergencies, we plan to design an automatic shutdown system.
Once any possible leak or malfunction is detected, the system will immediately cut off seawater circulation and initiate backup cooling solutions, such as using internal coolant for circulating cooling, to ensure the safety of the submarine and battery pack."
Wu Hao's tone gradually became more passionate: "As for the weight issue caused by the cooling system, this is indeed a challenge.
But it is not insurmountable. With the continuous development of lightweight materials, we will continue to explore, improve and optimize related design solutions and technologies in the future. I believe that this circulating cooling system will be able to reduce its own weight while ensuring cooling efficiency in the future.
Of course, this will take time and continued R&D efforts."
He took a deep breath and continued: "As for how to design the cooling system to evenly take away the heat inside the battery pack and prevent temperature accumulation and other problems, I suggest that advanced thermal management technology can be used in this regard.
By arranging temperature sensors and micro fans in key locations, we can monitor and adjust the flow and temperature of cooling seawater in real time to ensure uniform and stable temperature distribution inside the battery pack."
