Applications of thermal batteries

Thermal battery is a high-temperature energy source, also known as molten salt battery and heat-activated reserve battery. Its working temperature is between 350℃ and 550℃. It is a device that can directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy.

The application range of thermal battery is very wide, mainly including the following aspects:

In the military field: thermal battery was originally used as a power source for artillery fuses, and gradually expanded to detonation power sources such as mines and rockets, and developed into the main power source for surface-to-air missiles, ship-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, surface-to-air missiles, ship-to-ship missiles and nuclear weapons. Thermal batteries play an irreplaceable role in the military field. ‌

‌Aerospace‌: In the aerospace field, thermal batteries can be used for power supply or temperature control systems to reduce dependence on traditional power sources. ‌

‌Emergency electronic equipment power supply: Thermal batteries are also used to power emergency electronic equipment and can provide a stable source of power without an external power source. ‌

‌Mobile power supply: Thermal batteries can be used as a portable power source for mobile devices, such as power banks, to provide temporary power support. ‌

‌Satellite power supply: Thermal batteries can provide a stable source of power for satellites and are suitable for equipment that operates in space for a long time. ‌

‌Industrial applications‌: Thermal batteries can use industrial waste heat or automobile exhaust waste heat to drive power generation and achieve waste heat reuse, especially in high-temperature process fields such as cement and steel production. ‌
