Eloflux Cell Design

Standard galvanic cells are independently sealed, whereas the Eloflux cell is completely diflerent The main difference is that one electrode is used for transporting both the gas and the electrolyte. Therefore, this cell design reduces costs by simplification of the ceU components. There are fewer parts with less degradation and corrosion. Eloflux was described in 1965 by Winsel and Wendtland [17-20]. 

The Elofiux system contains resins instead of plates, with integrated seals to seal the stack. The KOH electrolyte is aggressive and therefore it is difficult to seal the stack effectively. However, the application of resins is an efficient method for sealing the system. The only disadvantage of this resin-embedded stack is that the contacts for the current must be inserted in the resin.
