ABSTRACT:
An electrochemical device having one or more cells, a bipolar carbon-plastic electrode element providing in combination a separator, cathode and anode, the cathode and anode each having a space formed therebetween, catholyte and anolyte electrolytes circulated from and to reservoirs therefor via distribution connector means to or from a feed or discharge orifice in the appropriate cathode space or anode space. The distribution connector means is provided with at least a configured offset pathways interconnecting feed or discharge channels and the cathode or anode orifices. The pathways of a connector can be interconnected by a cross-channel having a varying area cross-section whereby shunt current protection capabilities are provided so as to reduce or eliminate detrimental orifice blocking depositions. In one embodiment the cross channel can be provided by means having a constant cross section, but variable length. A variable length cross channel is provided by either arcuate interconnected channels having various arcuate lengths or it can be provided by separate arcuate hose-like members of the various lengths. The distribution connector means can be provided with bifurcated distribution channel means feeding it electrolyte. The bifurcated distribution channel means provide means for access into the battery whereby the battery's operating conditions and parameters can be sensed or the electrolyte can be tested or modified as the battery's operation dictates.
