摘要:
A power generation system utilizing an electrochemical cell comprising a reactive metal anode, a cathode spaced from the anode and an electrolyte comprising an aqueous solution of the hydroxide of the reactive metal is disclosed. The hydroxide concentration in the electrolyte is controlled by contacting the electrolyte with an acid anhydride to form an insoluble compound of the reactive metal. The insoluble compound is separated from the electrolyte and the electrolyte is recirculated to the electrochemical cell.

A battery system (10,110) wherein an electrolyte solution of lithium hydroxide dissolved in seawater is circulated through a battery cartridge (11,111). The system is placed under pressure. A portion of the electrolyte mixture is discharged from the system through a suitable pressure regulating valve (20) while concurrently, fresh seawater is delivered into the system as by a pressurizing pump (17). The increased pressure acts to increase the density of the gaseous portion of the ejected gas liquid mixture, reduce the volume of the gaseous portion of the ejected gas-liquid mixture, thereby reducing the total volume of the ejected mixture, and reduce the ratio of gas volume to liquid volume in the system as well as the ejected gas-liquid mixture.

A remote controlled intercell connector bar jack is disclosed. The jack can have a first contactor and a second contactor spaced apart by a piston and cylinder assembly. The assembly can be remotely expanded or contracted to move the contactors away from each other or towards each other, respectively. The first contactor contacts a movable intercell connector while the second contactor contacts a fixed object such as the wall of one of two adjacent cells connected by the intercell connector. The second contactor can be a plate adapted to rest against a wall of a cell to which the intercell connector is attached and the first contactor adapted to rest against the intercell connector so that the intercell connector is jacked away from the cell wall when the assembly is remotely expanded.
摘要:
A casing suitable for covering a substantially rectangular electrode for a diaphragm-type electrolytic cell comprises a closed end, an open end, and two closed, reinforced sides.The casing is formed of a single flexible material which is folded or sealed to provide a plurality of fingers each having a closed end and then sealed to form two closed sides, such casing preferably having reinforced edges.

An expandable electrode assembly is provided having two opposed working faces of flexible electrically conductive material, said faces defining a riserless open chamber therebetween, a plurality of spring means interposed between the working faces for biasing the faces a limited distance away from each other and for allowing inward movement of the faces toward each other in response to inward force applied to the working faces, and an electrical conductor means affixed to one edge of each of the planar faces to a supportive backplate without limiting the inward movement of the edge of the faces opposite the one edge.
