摘要:
A flow battery stack includes a plurality of flow battery cells, a manifold and a heat exchanger. Each flow battery cell includes an electrode layer that is wet by an electrolyte solution having a reversible redox couple reactant. The manifold includes a solution passage that exchanges the electrolyte solution with the flow battery cells. The heat exchanger includes a heat exchange fluid passage. The heat exchanger exchanges heat between the electrolyte solution in the solution passage and a heat exchange fluid directed through the heat exchange fluid passage. The flow battery cells, the manifold and the heat exchanger are arranged between first and second ends of the flow battery stack.
摘要:
A flow battery stack includes an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold and a plurality of flow battery cells. The inlet and outlet manifolds each have first and second passages. The first and second passages in at least one of the inlet and outlet manifolds are tortuous. Each flow battery cell includes a separator arranged between a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. The flow battery cells are axially connected between the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold such that a first solution having a first reversible redox couple reactant is directed from the inlet first passage through the flow battery cells, wetting the first electrode layers, to the outlet first passage.
