Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
41 words
A sodium sulfur storage battery as defined in claim 1, in which said heating device is wound as a helix around the individual cell, and wherein the turns of the helix are closer as the helix rises from bottom to top.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
A sodium-sulfur storage battery as defined in claim 1, which includes means for passing a cooling medium, as part of said temperature control means, into and through the storage battery so as to keep constant the inside temperature, said cooling medium passing throughout the vessel wherein the unit cell is placed on a frame made of an insulating material having passageways for said cooling medium.
