The battery stack was turned 180° in the hood, thus allowing easier servicing of the electro­ lytepumpandpiping.

Finally, the cover to the stack case was replaced due to a fracture in the steel frame. Recommendations Three new pieces of hardware have been purchased for the 20kWh battery, and should be installed during Phase II. The first is a set of titanium-clad copper bus bars, which will allow for external electrical connections of the two banks. This will allow measurement of current distribution between the banks. Furthermore, the bus bars are designed to extend through the sides of the battery case instead of the top. This will reduce the difficulties associated with removing the top in order to observe the cells. The second new piece of hardware is a titanium-coil heat exchanger. It will act both as a heat exchanger and as a medium to enhance chlorine gas absorption during discharge.

Finally, a ceramic filter also will be placed in the main electrolyte plumbing. This filter will not introduce contaminants to the system, and the cartridge could easily be removed when filtering is not needed. 23-8
