| Summary: | This paper presents the results of studies of operating parameters of pyrotechnic reserve power source (PRPS). This battery was activated by the pyrotechnic compositions contained in the electrodes. Once the ignition impulse worked, the pyrotechnic compositions took fire immediately and melted the electrolyte. Then the rest pyrotechnic compositions served as anode and cathode. The battery began to discharge. The following characteristics of PRPS were evaluated during the study: release time to operating regime of the electric current, the duration of the PRPS work and initiation temperature of PRPS. A detailed evaluation of the Mg/LiF/PbF2 electrochemical system and Zn/LiF/PbF2 one is undertaken. Test results show that the electric current value using powder of zinc and granular zinc in these experiments was 0.179 A and 0.1 A, respectively, and the operating time at these values of elecrtic current was 40 and 151 sec, respectively. |
