Patent ·
OSTI ID:5161726
A rechargable metal oxide-hydrogen cell having an electrode stack within a pressure vessel is described. The electrode stack is aligned on a control alignment member and has separate positive and negative bars coupling respective positive and negative electrodes to like terminals. A variable conductance heat pipe includes a portion of the alignment member and couples the interior of the electrode stack to a radiator. The heat pipe uses a working fluid such as freon 21.
