Thus, the maximum tolerable steady-state concentration of Cl in the evolved gas is (0.02ml)/ (89ml) or approximately 0.02%. This calculation admittedly assumed no CO^ is evolved on discharge and ignores debris formation. On the other hand it is conservative in that it is predicated upon an electrode consumption level of 10%, and data is available which demonstrates that as much as 50% (40 mils) could be lost and still allow adequate performance. Typical System Carbon Dioxide Levels The available data for various systems are admittedly quite variable. This is un­ doubtedly due to the incomplete control of various factors, and possibly to the age of a given unit. For example, the following charge levels have been documented: Vol. % co2 .01 .04 - .06 0.1 - 0.2 Electrolyte Temperature System [Cl~] 1.7kWh 8M 8.3kWh 8M 20kWh 8M 50 2 l£ pH mA/cin 40 0.2 -VS5 35 0.2 ^30 As the 1.7kWh system is the oldest, and as a result has well-aged electrodes, its CO2 rates can be considered more meaningful than that of the latter two units. Recently data from the 8.3kWh unit has shown that the discharge CO^ rate is 1/4 to 1/5 that found on charge. Using this ratio and the tabulated CO charge levels, 2^ this translates into approximately 0.0012g/cm of carbon lost in 1,000 hours of operation for the 1.7kWh battery unit. Activated PG-60 electrodes O.OSOin thick have an initial weight of approximately 2 0.22g/cm . Assuming 100% chlorine "efficiency", we can approximate as follows: Weight loss: Grams lost/cm : Hours @ 0.002g/1000 hrs: No. cycles (12 hr/cycle): 10% 25% 0.022 0.055 18,333 45,833 1,528 3,819 2 0.6 M2 28-5 1 O O
