  • the electrolyte based element it is currently preferred to subject the electrolyte based element to pressure by pressurising a sealed pressure containment vessel. This will typically be done during manufacture or assembly and before installation. However, in alternatives the element may be subjected to pressure by exposure to the ambient pressure. It will be appreciated that in downhole situations, not only is the temperature high but there is also high, ie well above atmospheric, pressure. It is envisaged that the element might be exposed directly or indirectly to the ambient pressure. Means may be provided such that although the pressure experienced by the element is due to ambient pressure, the value of the pressure is controlled. In some such cases the pressure to which the element is exposed may be a small fraction of the ambient pressure.

  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a first battery assembly which comprises a plurality of electrolyte based electric cells 1 surrounded by a battery casing 2 to form a battery pack.
  • the battery pack 1,2 is disposed within a pressure containment vessel 3 which is arranged to be pressurised to a pressure in the range of 3-6 bar. Terminals 4 are provided on the exterior of the pressure containment vessel 3 to allow electrical connection to the battery pack 1,2.
  • the pressure containment vessel 3 is filled with air at a pressure in the desired range during manufacture or assembly. At least one bi-directional seal (not shown) is provided between two parts of the vessel 3 which can be separated to allow the introduction of the cells 1.
  • the battery casing 2 is arranged to allow the cells 1 to be subjected to the pressure in the pressure containment vessel 3. It should be noted, however, that this does not generally call for any modification of the casing 2 of conventionally used batteries.
  • the battery assembly is intended for use in high temperature environments.
  • the assembly is intended for use in pipeline systems used in the oil and gas industry.
  • the assembly is particularly suited for use in downhole locations in wells.
  • the assembly will be used in conjunction with other components as part of a downhole tool.
  • Such a tool might for example be used in the communication of data between the downhole location and the surface. In such a case the cells would provide the energy required to receive signals and transmit signals to the surface.
  • Other examples of equipment for which batteries are used as a power supply downhole include data loggers, pressure and temperature sensors, drilling guidance and control systems and mud pulsing telemetry systems.
  • electrolyte based cells 1 Subjecting electrolyte based cells 1 to increased pressure allows the cells 1 to be operated at a higher temperature than would otherwise be the case because the boiling or evaporation of electrolyte is suppressed.
  • the type of cells used may be chosen to suit circumstances.
  • the downhole conditions have necessitated the use of high temperature tolerant lithium based cells.
  • the present battery assembly it has been shown possible to use cheaper, alkaline batteries (in place of the lithium cells) at temperatures of 110 degrees centigrade where the pressure in the containment vessel 3 is 5 bar. It is also suspected that at this temperature, the pressure could be reduced somewhat below 5 bar. In some situations, at least some of the desired pressure may be realised automatically by virtue of the fluid pressure increasing with temperature. The fluid used might be selected to enhance this effect.
  • lithium cells In some cases it might be desired to use the present battery assembly with lithium cells to improve their performance. These lithium cells might be of a cheaper, less temperature tolerant, type. In general, any electrolyte based cell may benefit from being operated in an assembly of the present type. Rechargeable as well as primary cells can be used.
  • the cells 1 and battery casing 2 are disposed in a separate pressure containment vessel 3, it is envisaged that in a specially produced battery pack, the battery casing might itself act as the pressure containment vessel.
  • FIG. 2 shows a second battery assembly which is similar to the first assembly shown in Figure 1, with corresponding elements being given the same reference numerals.
  • the second battery assembly differs from the first in that an electronics/equipment module 5 is disposed within the pressure containment vessel 3.
  • the electronics/equipment 5 which requires the power to be supplied by the cells 1 is disposed in the same pressure vessel as the cells 1.
  • This arrangement serves to protect the electronics/equipment 5 from the environment without the provision of a separate vessel.
  • such an arrangement is of course only practical where the electronics/equipment can operate under the pressure required to give the desired improvement in cell temperature tolerance.
  • any other electrolyte based components in the electronics/equipment may equally benefit from the increased pressure.
  • the fluid chosen to provide pressure in the vessel 3 should be selected to avoid damage to silicon components - Nitrogen is a good choice in this regard.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a third battery assembly which is similar to the first two battery assemblies, again the same reference numerals are used to indicate corresponding elements.
  • the cells 1 are provided in a vessel 3a which is not a pressure containment vessel. Rather in this case the vessel 3a is arranged to allow ambient pressure to act on the cells 1 within the casing 2. The suppression of electrolyte boiling and evaporation may thus be achieved without the need for a sealed pressurised vessel.
  • such an assembly will be of limited application, at least in wells, because of the very high pressures which typically exist in the downhole environment. Where there is a very high ambient pressure, there is a risk that any small void in the battery could give rise to distortion or damage to the cell, battery or casing.
  • Another possibility which is envisaged is using the ambient pressure in a more controlled way to apply pressure to the cells 1.
  • Figures 4 to 7 show, in more detail, a battery assembly of the type shown in Figure 1.
  • the assembly comprises three "double D" cell alkaline battery packs, each comprising two cells 1 and a casing 2.
  • the cells 1 are wired to one another in the way shown in the wiring diagram of Figure 6 and are housed in an aluminium tube (not shown).
  • the aluminium tube containing the six cells 1 is itself housed in generally cylindrical steel pressure containment vessel 3.
  • Figure 7 shows an end view of part of the battery assembly. Seven terminal pins 4 are provided at each end of the battery assembly, one set of these pins can be seen in Figure 7.
  • the wiring of the cells 1, as shown in Figure 6, is such that external connection can be made to the cells 1 via the appropriate pins 4.
  • the battery assembly In assembly of the battery assembly an end portion of the steel vessel 3 is removed and the aluminium tube containing the ready wired cells 1 is inserted. The end portion is then replaced and the air in the vessel is pressurised to the desired pressure of say 3 bar. A bi-directional seal is provided between the end portion and the remainder of the vessel 3 so that the desired pressure is retained in the vessel 3 whether the external pressure is lower (eg during assembly) or higher (eg in situ downhole) than the internal pressure.
  • the battery assembly Once assembled the battery assembly may be deployed and connected to the electronics/equipment which the cells 1 are to power.
  • FIG 8 schematically shows a fuel cell assembly embodying the present invention.
  • the fuel cell assembly comprises a cathode 101 and anode 102 and sandwiched between the anode and cathode 101, 102 an electrolyte 103.
  • the anode 101, cathode 102, and electrolyte 103 form the basic elements of a fuel cell. Since fuel cell technology in itself is well known, no further details of the structure of the fuel cell are given herein as they are unnecessary for an understanding of the invention.
  • the fuel cell is disposed within a pressure containment vessel 3 of the same general type described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 and which may be broadly similar to that described with reference to Figures 4 and 5.
  • a pressure containment vessel 3 of the same general type described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 and which may be broadly similar to that described with reference to Figures 4 and 5.
  • appropriate changes can be made to take into account the fact that it is a fuel cell to be contained rather than a conventional electric cell.
  • Terminals 4 are provided on an external surface of the pressure containment vessel 3 and one of these terminals 4 is connected to the cathode 101 and the other is connected to the anode 102.
  • the pressure inside the pressure containment vessel 3 is selected to be such as to suppress the evaporation or boiling of electrolyte 103 in the fuel cell.
  • the precise pressure chosen will be a matter of design choice and at least in some circumstances an effective pressure may be determined empirically.
  • the purpose of the fuel cell assembly and in particular the pressurisation given is to enable higher temperature operation of the fuel cell than would normally be the case.
  • fuel cells will generally have a maximum normal operating temperature under normal conditions. This might be specified by the manufacturers or might be empirically determined when the fuel cell is operated at atmospheric pressure. By making use of the present invention, a given fuel cell may be operated at above such a normal operating temperature by virtue of the electrolyte boiling and evaporation suppression that is achieved.
  • the fuel cell assembly shown is a downhole assembly for use downhole in a well where there are high ambient temperatures.
  • the assembly might, for example, form part of a downhole tool used to measure temperature and pressure.
  • the fuel cell would then be used to power the measuring electronics and a signal transmission and reception system.
