DEVICE FOR MIXING UP ELECTROLYTE IN HEAVY-POWER LEAD ACCUMULATORS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; testing and servicing heavy-power lead accumulators. SUBSTANCE: device has compressed-air supply tube and electrolyte downcomer tube both made of acid-resistant material and immersed in vertical position into electrolyte at different levels; bottom end of electrolyte carrying tube does not reach accumulator bottom. Novelty is that compressed-air carrying tube and electrolyte downcomer tube are built integral to form single tube with two eccentric vertical channels passing compressed air and electrolyte, respectively. End of electrolyte carrying tube in bottom part of accumulator is level with edges of separators. Electrolyte carrying tube has drain pipe on top arranged horizontally to electrolyte surface. EFFECT: prevented separation of electrolyte and improved uniformity of its concentration in the course of accumulator service. 2 cl, 1 dwg
