PURPOSE:To achieve reliable starting of cell irrespctive of the position of submersible sailing body by temporarily filling a cell with sea water then conditioning the electrolyte while mixing a portion of electrolyte with sea water through a suction tube utilizing flow speed of sea water and feeding as diluted electrolyte to the cell. CONSTITUTION:Sea water led through a scoop 6 is fed through a feed pipe 8 to a cell 1 to fill it then flows through a gas separator 4 to an electrolyte storage section 2 where solid state KOH3 is dissolved to condition the electrolyte. While a suction pipe 9 provided in said pipe 8 while directing the outlet toward downstream will produce negative pressure upon lead-in of sea water to flow in sea water into the storage section 2 thus to condition the electrolyte while to suck electrolyte from the time point when the inlet of suction tube 9 is submerged and to mix electrolyte to sea water flowing through said pipe 8. Diluted electrolyte is fed to the cell 1 to produce voltage from the cell 1 thus to start a circulation pump 5 and to feed normal electrolyte from the time point when the pump port 10 is submerged by electrolyte in the storage section 2. Upon leading in of predetermined amount of sea water, it is stopped. When normal electrolyte reaches to the cell, it will start perfect discharge. |
