ELECTROCHEMICAL GENERATOR AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING SAME

摘要

Unit cells in nestable containers (2) are stacked between two end flanges (3). A first resin compatible with the material of the containers (2) is then moulded over the stack so as to hold in position and insulate the output terminations (4) of the cells. A fibrous felt material (9) impregnated with a second resin is then wrapped around the edges of the bonded stack. The second resin is then permitted to gel and the felt is then overwrapped with woven glass fibre matting impregnated with a third resin. The resulting wrapping also comprises parts (11) folded over the end flanges. The resulting electrochemical generator is adapted to withstand high pressures, of approximately ten bars, for example.
