Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of controlling a temperature of metal-air battery apparatus includes measuring the temperature of the metal-air battery apparatus to obtain the temperature and a temperature deviation of the metal-air battery apparatus, comparing the measured temperature and the temperature deviation of the metal-air battery apparatus with a preset temperature and a preset temperature deviation, respectively; and adjusting the temperature of an inlet module or a main module when the measured temperature of the metal-air battery apparatus is less than the preset temperature or the temperature deviation of the metal-air battery apparatus is greater than the preset temperature deviation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of controlling a temperature of a metal-air battery apparatus, the method comprising: measuring the temperature of the metal-air battery apparatus to obtain the temperature and a temperature deviation of the metal-air battery apparatus; comparing the measured temperature and the temperature deviation of the metal-air battery apparatus with a preset temperature and a preset temperature deviation, respectively; and adjusting the temperature of an inlet module or a main module when the measured temperature of the metal-air battery apparatus is less than the preset temperature or the temperature deviation of the metal-air battery apparatus is greater than the preset temperature deviation, wherein the temperature deviation is a temperature difference between the inlet module and the main module. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the inlet module or the main module is adjusted by adjusting a discharge current density of the inlet module or the main module. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the temperature of the inlet module or the main module is increased by increasing the discharge current density of the inlet module or the main module. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the temperature of the inlet module or the main module is increased by making the discharge current density of the inlet module higher than the discharge current density of the main module. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the measured temperature of the metal-air battery apparatus is less than the preset temperature, external air is supplied to the inlet module after the temperature of the inlet module is increased. 6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising: after the temperature of the inlet module is increased, comparing the temperature of the inlet module with the preset temperature to determine whether the temperature of the inlet module is equal to or greater than the preset temperature. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the external air is supplied to the inlet module only when the temperature of the inlet module is equal to or greater than the preset temperature. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the measured temperature of the metal-air battery apparatus is less than the preset temperature, compared to the preset temperature, the temperature of the inlet module is adjusted by charging the inlet module by an inlet module wiring line connected to the inlet module. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the measured temperature of the metal-air battery apparatus is less than the preset temperature, compared to the preset temperature, the temperature of the inlet module is adjusted through a temperature adjustor disposed on one surface of the inlet module.
