Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A redox flow battery includes a stack group including a plurality of cell stacks that are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, and a heat exchanger that is disposed above the stack group and that cools an electrolyte supplied to each of the cell stacks.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A redox flow battery comprising: a stack group including a plurality of cell stacks that are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction; and a heat exchanger that is disposed above the stack group and that cools an electrolyte supplied to each of the cell stacks. 2 . The redox flow battery according to claim 1 , comprising a container that collectively houses the stack group, the heat exchanger, a tank that stores the electrolyte, and a pipe which is connected to each of the cell stacks and the tank and through which the electrolyte flows. 3 . The redox flow battery according to claim 2 , wherein the container includes a cell chamber that houses the stack group, the heat exchanger, and the pipe and a tank chamber that houses the tank, the cell chamber and the tank chamber being arranged side by side in a longitudinal direction of the container. 4 . The redox flow battery according to claim 3 , wherein a length of the tank chamber is longer than a length of the cell chamber, a center of the container in the longitudinal direction and a height direction is denoted by P, a center of the container in the longitudinal direction and a width direction is denoted by Q, a length of the container is denoted by L, a width of the container is denoted by W, and a center of gravity of the container is denoted by G, a distance x from the center P to the center of gravity G satisfies x≤(⅓)×L on a longitudinal section of the container in a state in which the stack group, the heat exchanger, the tank, and the pipe are housed, and a distance y from the center Q to the center of gravity G satisfies y≤( 1/20)×W on a horizontal section of the container.
