Ventilation System Influence on Hydrogen Explosion Hazards in Industrial Lead-Acid Battery Rooms

LabVIEW-based Battery Monitoring System with Effects of Temperature on Lead-Acid Battery

Lead acid batteries are one of the most commonly used batteries. Monitoring the performance parameters of the battery provides essential data useful for managing the batteries efficiently. This paper proposes a highly accurate and efficient battery monitoring system based on NI LabVIEW. As the calculations are done on computer, this system is faster than micro-controller based systems and provi...

Improving Formation Efficiency of Lead Acid Battery using Hydrogen Peroxide as an Additive

Formation is one of the critical step in lead acid battery manufacturing process. The purpose of formation process is to convert the cured paste into electrochemically active porous paste i.e. lead dioxide as positive plate and sponge lead as negative plate respectively. In the present work we studied “ Improving formation efficiency of lead acid battery using hydrogen peroxide as an additive”....

Fire and explosion hazards in operating theatres.

A high degree of safety from fires and explosions exists in operating theatres in the U.K. and this is reflected in the extremely low number of fatal and non-fatal accidents which occur. This has been achieved by safety precautions which in some respects have been over-careful and overexpensive. Antistatic precautions applied to the breathing circuit seem to have been the crucial factor in achi...

Influence of the degree of exposure to lead on relations between alcohol consumption and the biological indices of lead exposure: epidemiological study in a lead acid battery factory.

Alcohol has been shown to interact with lead to influence haem biosynthesis. The aim of this study was to define the dependence of this interaction on the degree of exposure to lead. Exposure to alcohol was estimated by measurement of alcohol concentrations in a sample of urine collected during the morning (AlcUM) (0.82 (SD 4.36) mmol/l) and in a sample collected during the afternoon (AlcUA) (1...
