High-temperature battery

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore, an object of the invention to provide, with a minimum of technical means, a high-temperature battery which ensures optimum cooling of all storage cells and maximum safety.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, there is provided in accordance with the invention a high-temperature battery comprising a thermal insulation housing for enclosing electrochemical storage cells, at least one housing air inlet for feeding cooling air into the interior of the housing, and at least one housing air outlet for the discharge of said air from the housing, at least one module containing electrochemical storage cells for insertion into the interior of said housing, said module arranged in said housing to cause cooling air introduced through said housing air inlet to flow into said module against the force of gravity, and said air leaving said module with the force of gravity discharging through said housing air outlet.
Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.
Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in a high-temperature battery, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
