ELECTROCHEMICAL TRANSDUCER SYSTEM Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: high- temperature electrochemical transducers. SUBSTANCE: transducer provides for regenerative heating of its chemical agents to working temperature using outlet flow for the purpose. Flow integration facilities convey heat from electrochemical transducer assembly to using power unit which ensures flexible and effective design. When unit operates as fuel element, for example, it facilitates recovery of waste heat of fuel element chemical agents for combining it with thermodynamic using equipment, such as gas or steam turbine. Heat flow integration provides for radiant energy transmission between external surface of transducer assembly and heat-exchanger assembly incorporating working medium of heat absorber or heat source; use is also made of regenerative process in which exit flow heats up inlet chemical agents to transducer working temperature. EFFECT: improved efficiency of temperature control in electrochemical transducer systems. 17 cl, 10 dwg
