OVERVIEW OF TESLA EV BATTERY


The portable power supply!! The marvellous invention right?? This invention mainly depends upon storing energies in small lithium ion cells. The combination of these cells makes a lithium ion battery. These batteries are used to power the prime mover of tesla cars.

The Engineers of Tesla, Inc. The American based EV manufacturing company had used their wide minds by implementing battery management system to make this batteries more efficient and reliable in powering their vehicles.




THE TESLA CELL
                              
                       The tesla cell is simply a lithium ion cell which consists of several chemical compounds for its function. One of the main compound is lithium which has the higher tendency to lose electrons. It works on the interesting principle called electrochemical potential which is the tendency of the metal to lose electrons.



STRUCTURE  OF TESLA CELL

                                                     

          In the practical lithium-ion cell or in tesla cell, the graphite and metal oxides are coated on to copper and aluminium foils, These foils acts as a current collectors here, where the positive(aluminium) and negative(copper) tabs can be easily taken out from these. The organic salt of lithium which acts as the electrolyte is coated on the separator(which prevents short circuit in case if the electrolyte is degraded). All these three sheets are wound on to a cylinder around a central steel core to make a cell structure. These cells are packed in series or parallel fashion to form a module and 16 such modules are connected in series to form a tesla battery pack. The single tesla cell has a voltage range between 3-4V.
                                                          


                                             REPRESENTATION OF TESLA BATTERY PACK


                During operation these batteries produces heat which is cooled by a provided glycol cooling system. The battery management system maintains the temperature and ensures the  equal charging and discharging of individual cells.









Hoping so the browsers got some knowledge about the overview of tesla battery system. If you like my blog keep supporting. Do mention if I had committed any mistakes, Thanking you.

Retarder braking system

Image
RETARDER BRAKING SYSTEM Breaking the truck generates high amount of pressure,wear and heat on the brake disks and brake pads and in some cases,continuous braking during downhill or in traffic leads to the decrease of brake pressure,The truck needs to halted in safe place to recharge the compressor. The best solutions for these safty less conflicts is the RETARDER BRAKING SYSTEM. The reatarder brake system gives the smooth braking experience with no energy loss,wear,noise while slowing down the heavy loaded trucks.It saves the maintainance cost on replacing the brake disks,linings and brake pads. HOW RETARDER WORKS? Retarder is a hydraulic system that is integrated into the output end of a truck’s gearbox and uses high-pressure oil as a braking medium Via a gear transmission, the Retarder acts on the output shaft of the gearbox and thus directly on the propeller shaft. Once the Retarder is applied, it generates a braking force on the propeller shaft corresponding to up to ...

IVTEC system

IVTEC SYSTEM . .  IVTEC stands for intelligent- variable valve timing and electronic lift control is a system developed by honda to increase the volumetric efficiency of an internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at lower RPM. Here the cam phasing is implemented by computer controlled, oil-driven adjustable cam sprocket or the electrically actuated cam phaser (it replaces the oil pressure actuated cam phaser). Thus, this system provides continuous cam phasing and discrete variable valve lift controls using CPS concept. This system consists of a camshaft with a centre high lift cam and outer low lift cams and associated rocker arms. For light load operation, the valves are operated by the two outer, low lift cams and associated rocker arms. For high power operation, hydraulic pressure is used to insert a pin to lock the middle rocker arm to the outer rocker arms for operation on the high lift cam. Cam phasing is accomplished with a hydraulic cam phase...

Volkswagen 1.0 TSI Engine

Image
Volkswagen to sell its iconic hatchback(polo) with 1.0 L TSI and MPI engine in india. I can catch your mind...you may think..."1.0l engine???? Whats about the power of polo??shit !!" . This engine was refined to retain the punch of polo although it was 1.0 liter. let us have some interesting knowledge about it. . 1.0 L - it represents that the engines displacement is nearly equals to 1000cc. . MPI(Naturally aspirated version with low power) - Multipoint Fuel Injection(each cylinder has a dedicated fuel injector)"The ECU decides the appropriate quantity and pressure of the gasoline fuel to be sprayed for the rich air fuel mixture". . TSI - Turbocharged Stratified Injection  . Turbocharged - as we already known the intake air was turbo forced to increase the power by maintaining the effeciency. . Stratified - its similar to the word layer, the word "stratified" mentions that the fuel is injected as such to create the layer of air fuel mixture ins...
