Liquid solvent vapo(u)r is solved, the electrolyte solvent concentration being preferably so that in compressed gas reaches saturation.Electrolyte solvent filling device
214 can be set gas flow into general pipeline 207 or setting flow into branch pipe 208a, 208b, 208c in three gases or
Person is arranged in each gas piping being connected with device for storing liquid.By steaming the electrolyte solvent of compressed gas sucking saturation
Vapour, it is possible to reduce, even avoid compressed gas from taking away electrolyte solvent from device for storing liquid, can guarantee in device for storing liquid in this way
Positive suspension and cathode suspension keep certain required concentration for a long time.
General pipeline 207 is flowed into gas and gas flows between branch pipe 208a, 208b, 208c and gas buffer can be set
215, gas inflow general pipeline 207 are connected to gas buffer 215 and gas buffer 215 is connected to gas and flows into branch pipe
208a, 208b, 208c, gas buffer 215 is to buffer and collect the compressed gas flowed out from compressor 212.In this way may be used
It is flowed into branch pipe 208a, 208b, 208c so that the gas compressed through compressor 212 more smoothly flows into gas.
The working method of lithium flow battery system according to the present invention is described below.
Firstly, control device 601 will receive the pressure in the caisson 211 that air pressure controlling device 216 detects, if
