Abstract
A method of and system for flushing one or more cells or components thereof in a particle-based electrochemical power source is provided. Reaction solution is delivered to and withdrawn from the one or more cells when the electrochemical power source is in a standby mode of operation.
Claims43
A method of flushing one or more cells or components thereof in a particle-based electrochemical power source comprising:
- delivering reaction solution to the one or more cells when the electrochemical power source is in a standby mode of operation;
- and
- withdrawing reaction solution from the one or more cells when the electrochemical power source is in a standby mode of operation.
A system for flushing one or more cells or components thereof in a particle-based electrochemical power source comprising:
- a delivery and withdrawal subsystem for delivering reaction solution to the one or more cells and withdrawing reaction solution from the one or more cells;
- and
- an actuator for actuating the delivery and withdrawal subsystem when the electrochemical power source is in a standby mode of operation.
A method of flushing one or more cells or components thereof in a particle-based electrochemical power source comprising:
- a step for delivering reaction solution to the one or more cells when the electrochemical power source is in a standby mode of operation;
- and
- a step for withdrawing reaction solution from the one or more cells when the electrochemical power source is in a standby mode of operation.
A system for flushing one or more cells or components thereof in a particle-based electrochemical power source comprising:
- means for delivering reaction solution to the one or more cells and withdrawing reaction solution from the one or more cells;
- and
- means for actuating the delivering and withdrawals means when the electrochemical power source is in a standby mode of operation.
