Title:
ELECTROLYTE CIRCULATING TYPE CELL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3231273
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolyte circulating type cell by equalizing quantities of electrolytes contained respectively inside tanks for positive and negative electrodes so as to enhance the utilization efficiency of the electrolytes.
SOLUTION: An electrolyte circulator cell comprises a positive electrode cell 1A and a negative electrode cell 1B separated from each other via a diaphragm 4, a positive electrode 5 and a negative electrode 6 incorporated in the cells 1A, 1B, respectively, a positive electrode tank 2 for introducing or discharging a positive electrode electrolyte to or from the positive electrode cell 1A, and a negative electrode tank 3 for introducing or discharging a negative electrode electrolyte to or from the negative electrode cell 1B. The tanks 2, 3 are connected at positions below the liquid levels of electrolytes contained inside the tanks 2, 3 via a communication tube 13. The communication tube 13 uniformizes the levels of the electrolytes inside the tanks.
