A Study on the Key Parameters of Slit Air Nozzle for the Coating Process of Li-Ion Power Battery

Abstract:

The coating and drying process of Li-ion power battery plays an important role in performance of battery. Its drying system is composed of an air inlet and return pipe, heat exchanger, air nozzle and so on. The air nozzle is a key component of drying system. Whether its design is reasonable or not, it will directly affect the distribution of the velocity, pressure and other factors in the dryer. In this paper, the simulation research of the key parameters of slit air nozzle on the coating and drying of Li-ion power battery will be achieved by using fluid simulation software. And then we determine the slit width of the air nozzle with 3mm, slit angle of air nozzle with 60° on the basis of the simulation results.
