Abstract

1416024 Physically refueling an electrical storage device OMF CALIFORNIA Inc 14 Nov 1972 [18 Nov 1971] 52622/72 Heading H1B An electrical energy storage device of the type utilizing a halogen hydrate, an oxidizable metal and a circulating aqueous electrolyte containing a dissolved metal halide as described in Specification 1,339,060 is recharged or refueled by periodically as necessary physically replenishing the oxidizable metal and the halogen hydrate which are progressively consumed during discharge of the device and by withdrawing an amount of the electrolyte to maintain the volume thereof within a preselected range. Preferably the cell utilizes chlorine hydrate, zinc and an aqueous electrolyte of zinc chloride in which the chlorine hydrate is disposed. The hydrate may be replenished by replacing a storage reservoir forming part of the electrolyte circulating system in which prior to discharge a quantity of chlorine hydrate is disposed with a second storage reservoir charged with chlorine hydrate. By this replacement the required adjustment in the volume of the zinc chloride electrolyte is also effected. Alternatively, chlorine hydrate in particulate form suspended in a slurry or as solid pellets or blocks may be inserted into the storage reservoir. In this event excess electrolyte must be separately withdrawn from the system. The zinc may be replaced by (a) replacing the cell of the system by a second, replenished cell, or (b) replacing only the zinc-containing negative electrode of the cell, or (c) passing electrolyte containing a slurry of zinc through porous chambers in the negative electrode whereby the zinc is filtered out by being retained in the chambers. When a number of these cells are used to propel a motor vehicle, for example, a number of roadside stations at which replenishment of the necessary cell components takes place are provided. At such regional or central stations the removed spent components are recharged by appropriately passing a D.C. current through them and subsequently they then form replacement units. An extensive list of elements suitable for the negative electrode metal are given. [GB1416024A]

Claims (10)

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:
1. An electrical energy storage device comprising at least one cell comprised of a normally positive electrode for reducing a halogen disposed in electrical contact therewith and a normally negative electrode having an oxidizable metal disposed in electrical contact therewith during an electrical discharge of said cell, a storage reservoir adapted to contain a quantity of halogen hydrate, an aqueous metal halide electrolyte, communicative means for connecting said cell to said reservoir, circulating means for circulating said electrolyte through said communicative means between said cell and said reservoir for progressively oxidizing said oxidizable metal and decomposing said halogen hydrate during discharge of said cell, means for introducing oxidizable metal into said cell to replenish at least a portion of said metal which has been consumed, means for introducing halogen hydrate into said reservoir to replenish at least a portion of the quantity consumed, and means for withdrawing at least a portion of the electrolyte formed during discharge of said cell to maintain the volume thereof within a preselected range.
2. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said halogen comprises chlorine.
3. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said oxidizable metal comprises zinc.
4. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said storage reservoir is replaceable with a second storage reservoir containing a supply of halogen hydrate to effect a replenishment thereof.
5. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said cell is replaceable with a second cell containing a supply of oxidizable metal in electrical contact with said normally negative electrode for effecting a replenishment of said oxidizable metal.
6. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said means for introducing oxidizable metal into said cell comprises a replacement of said normally negative electrode from said storage device with a second negative electrode incorporating a fresh supply of said oxidizable metal thereon.
7. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said means for introducing oxidizable metal into said cell comprises a slurry of said electrolyte containing entrained particles of said oxidizable metal which is introduced into said circulatin means for conveying said particles into electrical contact with said
8. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said negative electrode is formed with a plurality of porous chambers therein, said porous chambers adapted to be filled with particulated said oxidizable metal in response to the introduction of a slurry of said particulated metal and said electrolyte into said chambers.
9. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , wherein said storage reservoir is formed with filler means disposed in communication with the interior thereof and said means for introducing halogen hydrate into said reservoir comprises introducing halogen hydrate in a solid form through said filler means.
10. The electrical energy storage device as defined in claim 1 , mounted in a vehicle and electrically connected to a motor disposed in driving relationship relative to the ground.
