    摘要: An electrochemical-type power supply source (1) is provided with: an electrochemical stack (2) generating electric power, in the presence, internally, of electrolytic fluid, provided with a number of distinct groups of galvanic cells (4) and of a corresponding number of electrolyte inlet pipes (8) for introducing electrolyte into respective groups of galvanic cells (4) and with electrolyte outlet pipes (9) for extracting electrolyte from respective groups of galvanic cells (4); a main tank (5), fluidically coupled to the electrochemical stack and containing electrolytic fluid; and a recirculation system (6, 10), defining a circulation path of the electrolytic fluid between the main tank and the electrochemical stack. A valve system (20) that can be coupled to the electrolyte inlet and/or outlet pipes and operatively controllable to modify hydraulic and electric characteristics of the circulation path, in response to a power delivery condition by the power supply source.

    摘要: A safety auxiliary system (10), coupled to a modular battery (2) of an underwater vehicle (1) having a number of modules (3), each provided with a plurality of cells (4), has: a first subsystem (10a), which detects conditions indicative of a thermal runaway in any of the modules (3) and manages such a thermal runaway, intervening locally on the module (3) to cool the corresponding cells (4) so that the thermal runaway is not propagated; and a second subsystem (10b), cooperating with, and operatively coupled to, the first subsystem (10a), which manages gases present in the module (3) associated with the thermal runaway, preventing them from pouring inside the underwater vehicle (1). The first subsystem (10a) is provided with a first electronic control unit (16) for each of said modules (3), and the second subsystem (10b) is provided with a second electronic control unit (16), distinct from, and operatively coupled to, the first electronic control unit (16) through a communication connection (38), so as to receive an alarm signal (S al ) upon detection of the conditions indicative of the thermal runaway in the corresponding module (3).
