Abstract

1,105,138. Fuel battery plants. CHLORIDE OVERSEAS Ltd. 5 April, 1965 [6 April, 1964], Nos. 14193/64 and 14194/64. Heading H1B. The concentration of electrolyte solution in a fuel battery plant is maintained by adding concentrated electrolyte, and discarding a sufficient quantity of effluent solution to maintain the volume and concentration of the liquid. Preferably a fuel is contained in an aqueous solution of electrolyte which is fed through the battery during a working period and is then recharged with a mixture of fuel and concentrated electrolyte, possibly from a removable capsule, after discarding a quantity of electrolyte equivalent to the water formed from the fuel. A fuel battery plant includes at least one fuel cell, two tanks, means for feeding a liquid comprising a solution of fuel and electrolyte from one (supply) tank to the other (effluent) tank during a working period, and, to render the liquid suitable for use in a further working period, means for discarding an amount of liquid corresponding to the water formed in oxidizing the fuel, and means for adding to the liquid a charge comprising enough fuel to replace that used plus enough concentrated electrolyte to replace that discarded in the liquid. The plant preferably includes also means for receiving a removable capsule containing the charge of fuel and concentrated electrolyte. In one modification each tank is arranged to serve alternately as the supply tank and the effluent tank and means are provided for delivering liquid from each in turn through the cell to the other. In the preferred form of this embodiment a reversing valve to reverse the connections between cell and tanks is included so that the liquid always flows through the cell in the same direction and the fresh charge is added to the empty tank whilst the excess liquid overflows from the full tank. In another modification the liquid (hydrazine/aqueous KOH) is fed by gravity from header tank 41 into battery 40 and thence to effluent tank. When the operating period has ended pump 43 returns the liquid through filter 44 to the header tank.
