EPRI Proprietary Licensed Material<br />

a NAS PS Module with the top cover removed to show cells. The interstices between cells are<br />

filled with sand which functions as both packing material and heat sink.<br />

Figure 1-3. NAS PS Module<br />

Voltage and temperature pr<strong>of</strong>iles during a 100% DOD charge-discharge cycle <strong>of</strong> a NAS PS<br />

Module are shown in Figure 1-4. (Temperature sens<strong>or</strong>s are located on the inner side and bottom<br />

surfaces <strong>of</strong> the enclosure and are insulated from cells by the sand filler; hence, temperature data<br />

lag duty cycle events due to the rate <strong>of</strong> heat transfer from cells to the sens<strong>or</strong> location.) The<br />

internal temperature <strong>of</strong> the module is observed to increase steeply during discharge mode due to<br />

the <strong>com</strong>bined effects <strong>of</strong> ohmic heating (I 2 R) and the exothermic cell reaction. During the charge<br />

mode, ohmic heating <strong>com</strong>bines with the cell endothermic reaction to effect a gradual cooling.<br />

Resistance heaters on the inner side and bottom <strong>of</strong> the enclosure maintain the module at a<br />

temperature above 290C during standby.<br />
