Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrochemical single cell for a battery, and battery made from said single cells. The single cell comprises an electrode stack wound around a heat conducting bar and/or folded around a heat conducting bar. For the control of the single cell, the heat conducting bar is at least partly made from a highly heat-conductive material on the surface thereof turned towards the electrode stack and is formed as a solid. So as to ensure economical and simple temperature management of a battery, the heat conducting bar is connected to a temperature control unit in a heat conducting manner with the battery.
Abstract:

The battery has a plurality of individual cells connected in parallel and/or in series with one another using cell connectors. The individual cells are attached to the cooling apparatus such that they can be prestressed by means of the cell connectors.
Abstract:
A single cell for a battery that includes a first housing part and a second housing part, which are electrically isolated from one another by an insulating housing frame. An electrochemically-active material is located in housing frame between housing parts. The first housing part and second housing part are in the form of plates. At least one of the housing parts exhibits a first edge area bent over towards the inside, and first housing part and second housing part are fixed by a form fit to one-piece housing frame.
Abstract:
A device for sucking in and compressing at least one gas in a fuel cell system has a compressor for the gas connected, at its gas inlet, to a gas filter system via an elastic, sealed gas-routing passage made from textile material.
Abstract:
A method and an arrangement are provided for purifying gases which are fed to a fuel cell for operation. A filter system, which is designed to separate out particulates and polluting gases, is arranged in a feed passage for the respective gas.
Abstract:
In a method and apparatus for monitoring a parameter, such as a concentration level, of an easily ignited gas, such as hydrogen, includes a wake-up device that is connected to a current/voltage supply, and can switch the monitoring unit from a state of rest into an active state after an adjustable time interval. The device according to the invention can be used in a fuel cell system or in a vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for monitoring the concentration of an easily ignited gas.
Abstract:
A battery includes a number of single cells interconnected in series and/or in parallel, the electrical poles of which for the electrical interconnection are connected to one another in a positive-fit and/or integrally bonded manner, directly or by means of cell connectors. The battery also includes a battery monitoring unit connected to the electrical poles and/or to the cell connectors in a positive-fit and/or integrally bonded manner. The electrical poles of the single cells, the cell connectors, and/or the battery monitoring unit have redundant contact areas for the positive-fit and/or integrally bonded connection. In each case only one of the contact areas which are redundant with one another is connected in a positive-fit and/or integrally bonded manner, and the further contact area(s) is/are not connected.
Abstract:
A single cell for a battery includes an electrode stack situated within a cell housing formed from two electrically conductive shell-shaped housing side walls situated essentially in parallel opposite one another, having a shell flange extending around the edges. The shell flanges are joined to one another to form a flange area and are electrically insulated from one another. Pole contact tabs of the electrode stack are connected electrically connected to the housing side walls. At least one of the housing side walls has a section protruding, at least in parts, beyond the flange area of at least one housing edge of the cell housing. The protruding section of the housing side wall is angled in the direction of a cell interior and in the direction of a shell base of the housing side wall, and in the angled state protrudes beyond the shell base by a predetermined amount.
Abstract:
A single cell having a casing formed from a first casing side part, a second casing side part and a casing frame, in which casing an electrolyte and an electrochemically active electrode foil unit are arranged, wherein the casing comprises an overpressure protection. The first casing side part includes a casing side part segment going at least sectionally over a length of the single cell, which casing side part segment is angled down in relation to the first casing side part in the direction of the cell interior and in which the overpressure protection is arranged and a venting opening is incorporated into the casing frame in a region of the overpressure protection.
