摘要 |
The present invention relates to a capacitor module having at least two capacitor cells (10, 20; 40) of the same type of cells, which cells being provided at one of their rear and front faces with an over-pressure valve for electrolyte contained within said cells, and which cells are electrically connected to each other and arranged in a substantially horizontal orientation within said capacitor module when in its operating position. By using merely one type of cells, the manufacturing costs can be substantially reduced. In case of a series connection of the capacitor cells (10, 20; 40), simple connection of the capacitor cells at the opposed faces thereof is possible. Therefore, as the cells are arranged in a substantially horizontal orientation, inadvertent leackage of electrolyte out of the over-pressure valves is prevented. By means of different additional features, sufficient cooling of the capacitor module is guaranteed.
