Flow frame (10) for an
electrochemical cell, in particular for a
cell of a
redox flow battery, wherein the flow frame (10) defines at least one
electrode space (14) for receiving an
electrode, comprising: - at least one supply channel
system (16, 16-1, 16-2) for supplying
electrolyte into the
electrode space (14), wherein the supply channel
system (16, 16-1, 16-2) comprises a fluid connection (20, 20-1, 20-2) which is fluidically connected to the electrode space (14) via supply channel structures (22, 22-1, 22-2); - at least one
return channel system (18, 18-1, 18-2) for returning
electrolyte from the electrode chamber (14), wherein the
return channel system (18, 18-1, 18-2) comprises a fluid connection (24, 24-1, 24-2) which is fluidically connected to the electrode chamber (14) via
return channel structures (26, 26-1, 26-2); wherein the supply channel structures (16, 16-1, 16-2) and / or the return channel structures (18, 18-1, 18-2) comprise a plurality of secondary channels (32) which
branch off at separate positions of the respective fluid connection (20, 24) and open into the electrode space (14) via inflow regions (34) wherein the secondary channels (32) each have a plurality of sub-channels (38), wherein the secondary channels (32) each comprise a plurality of secondary channel segments (46-1, 46-2, 46-3, 46-4), which each have a plurality of sub-channels (38) and which are arranged one behind the other along the extension of the respective secondary channel (32) from the fluid connection (20, 24) to the electrode space (14), wherein at least one secondary channel segment (46-3) of at least one secondary channel (32) has a smaller number of sub-channels (38) than a secondary channel segment (46-2) located upstream of this secondary channel segment (46-3) along the extension of this secondary channel (32) from the fluid connection (20, 24) to the inflow region (34).
