摘要 |
The present invention is directed to a recombinator and a method for using a recombinator, wherein the recombinator comprises a housing operatively associated with a zinc-bromine battery, wherein the housing comprises an outer wall that defines a reaction space therein, means for introducing hydrogen into the reaction space from the zinc-bromine battery, means for introducing bromine into the reaction space from the zinc-bromine battery, means for controlling the delivery of bromine into the reaction space, wherein the delivery control means comprises at least one flow channel associated with the inner surface of the outer wall, means for reacting the hydrogen and the bromine together so as to form hydrobromic acid; and means for distributing the hydrobromic acid back into the zinc-bromine battery for the reacidification of same.
