AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for app

6、roval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessaril

7、y unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or

8、 not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no perso

Notice of Disclaimer (b) performance expectations for these cells (or modules) throughout their lifetime; (c) operating conditions for the appropriate use of these cells (or modules); and (d) guidance for the designer

12、s of these cells (or modules). 1.4 Theory of Operation The VRLA cell is designed to minimize gas emissions and eliminate electrolyte maintenance throughout the life of the cell. This is accomplished by recombination of internally generated oxygen gas and suppression of hydrogen gas evolution to cons

13、erve water in the electrolyte, since water is not expected to be replaced. A resealable valve is included to vent gases not recombined. It is for this reason that these cells (or modules) are called “valve-regulated“. The charge-discharge reactants and products of the VRLA cell are the same as those

14、 of the flooded lead-acid cell (see Annex C). However, the VRLA cell has one fundamental difference: it is in the rate at which oxygen, evolved from the positive plates, diffuses to the negative plates, ultimately forming water. This diffusion process can occur at rates up to several orders of magni

15、tude faster than in flooded cells. The oxygen recombination rate translates to a reduction in the volume of water lost by electrolysis. Water loss from evaporation is minimized by operation in a benign ambient, using appropriate materials and properly designed seals. The electrolyte in a VRLA cell (

16、or module) is “immobilized“. The two most common methods of immobilizing the electrolyte are discussed here, although other methods are possible. The first method uses highly porous fibrous mats which hold the electrolyte while separating and electrically insulating the plates. The second method use

17、s a gelling agent to thicken the electrolyte that is distributed between and around the cell plates and separators. With both methods, the intent is to immobilize the electrolyte and create voids that increase the rate of oxygen diffusion and recombination. ATIS-0600330.2018 2 2 References The follo
