Power Conditioning and Control Module for Hydrazine-Air Battery,Type I,PP-6204()/U.

摘要

Military manpack type air battery power sources are presently under development by the US Army Electronics Command. These lightweight,silent,static power sources are needed to operate solid state communication and surveillance equipment and to recharge sealed and vented combat area type nickel-cadmium secondary batteries. The hydrazine-air battery,Type I,PP-6204()/U is a 60watt system which utilizes two 21cell stacks in parallel as the raw source of electrical power. A power conditioning and control system reflecting established components,circuits and techniques was applied to a prototype design of the 60watt hydrazine-air power source. The functional aspects of the power conditioning system were based on a general purpose power source application which imposes the widest range of constraints. The availability of practical power conditioning technology for this much needed power source has been demonstrated. (Author)
