Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for assembling a thermal battery. The method including: arranging a plurality of tubes into a cylindrical shape; connecting the plurality of tubes to each other; attaching a first plate to a first end of the connected plurality of tubes into corresponding holes in the first plate; providing an initiation device to the first end of each of the plurality of tubes; filling each of the plurality of tubes from a second end with an exothermic material; assembling thermal battery components inside the connected plurality of tubes; connecting terminal wires to the thermal battery components; and connecting the second end of the connected plurality to a second plate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method for assembling a thermal battery, the method comprising: arranging a plurality of tubes into a cylindrical shape; connecting the plurality of tubes to each other; attaching a first plate to a first end of the connected plurality of tubes into corresponding holes in the first plate; providing an initiation device to the first end of each of the plurality of tubes; filling each of the plurality of tubes from a second end with an exothermic material; assembling thermal battery components inside the connected plurality of tubes; connecting terminal wires to the thermal battery components; and connecting the second end of the connected plurality to a second plate. 2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an outer layer of thermal insulation material on an outer surface of the connected plurality of tubes. 3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: connecting a third plate to the first plate; and providing a compartment for the initiation device corresponding to the plurality of tubes in the third plate. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the filling comprises partially filling each of the plurality of tubes from the second end with the exothermic material; and the method further comprises filling a remaining portion of each of the plurality of tubes with thermal isolation material. 5 . The Method of claim 1 , further comprising flattening a cross-sectional shape of the connected plurality of tubes to compact the exothermic material.
