Abstract:
Dans une cellule de sulfure de sodium possedant, a l'interieur d'un boitier metallique, un tube d'electrolyte ceramique (10) separant le metal alcalin liquide du reactif cathodique, un collecteur de courant (14) s'etend dans la region a l'interieur du tube d'electrolyte (10) et est electriquement isole de l'electrolyte au moyen d'un element d'isolation (11). Le boitier metallique (18, 24) forme un joint avec l'element d'isolation (11) dans une region autour du collecteur de courant (14), cette region possedant une section transversale maximum sensiblement inferieure a la section transversale maximum du tube d'electrolyte et etant situee de preference completement a l'interieur de la peripherie exterieure du tube d'electrolyte (10).
Abstract:
An alkali metal energy conversion cell includes an external casing. A solid electrolyte cup divides the interior of the casing into two electrode regions. An electrically insulating element is joined to the cup. One end of the casing is formed with a first and a second annular flange. The first annular flange is secured to one surface of the insulating element by a compression bond. The second annular flange extends outward of the casing and bears solidly on a second surface of the insulating element opposed to the surface to which the first annular flange is secured. An electrically conductive cup-shaped connector is electrically connected to the current collector of the cell. The connector is dimensioned and configured for receiving and engaging, in an interference fit, the casing of another cell to be connected in series.
