Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to all vanadium redox flow battery membrane seal field, concretely is a kind of all vanadium redox flow battery membrane double-layer sealing line structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ion exchange membrane is one of the most critical components in flow battery stack, and the air tightness thereof directly determines the performance efficiency of the battery. At present, the ion exchange membrane sealing method of most flow batteries still adopts rubber sealing. Compared with laser welding and hot melting, the rubber sealing method does not cause irreversible damage to the ion exchange membrane. If the stack has a problem, it can still be recycled. As the most expensive part in the stack, the ion exchange membrane is not negligible for profit-oriented enterprises. There are two ways of rubber sealing, namely face sealing and line sealing. The face sealing has a relatively large sealing area, requires more sealing materials, and requires a larger fastening force for the stack. The excessive fastening force requires higher hardness and toughness of other parts of the stack. Although the single line sealing can well avoid this situation, the line sealing requires high machining precision of related parts. If the machining precision of a part does not meet the requirements or there is an assembly error, the single line sealing is not firm, which causes the stack to leak on the membrane side. Therefore, the above-mentioned problems are solved by the double-layer sealing line structure of the all vanadium redox flow battery membrane. SUMMARY

The single line sealing can well avoid this situation, but the line sealing requires high machining precision of related parts.
