ABSTRACT:
A sodium-sulfur battery including sodium and sulfur separated by a beta-alumina tube is disclosed herein along with a method of operating the battery utilizing a sodium storage and dispensing arrangement. This storage and dispensing arrangement includes a housing containing a supply of sodium out of contact with the beta-alumina tube and a thermally responsive bimetallic valve for passing sodium from its supply housing into contact with the beta-alumina separating tube when the sodium is in a liquid state and so long as the average temperature along at least a predetermined section of the tube remains below a predetermined value. In the event that this average temperature reaches the predetermined value, the bimetallic valve automatically prevents passage of liquid sodium from its supply housing to the beta-alumina tube.
