Rechargeable LABs

The function 2max(0 tracks the maximum battery capacity as a function of time. In photovoltaic (PV) applications, damage to a rechargeable LAB is assumed to be... 

Convective gas phase transport in natural unsaturated soil systems may be induced by variations in temperature, air pressure and groundwater, by wind pressure or by seepage water movement after rain events. All these processes are of minor importance in lab column experiments and have not been implemented in DiffModV. The only convective movement in the gaseous phase considered in DiffMod is the ground air recharge due to gas volume decrease caused by oxygen consumption. The effects of this type of convection have to be taken into consideration as they result in an increase of the initial oxygen penetration depth or the thickness of the pyrite oxidation zone and thus induce an increase of the total pyrite decomposition rate on the column by 10 to 15 %. 

The AMF, with guidance from Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), developed a small cylindrical lithium ion rechargeable battery. A new company (QuaUion, Inc.) was formed and financed by Alfred Mann to manufacture and improve these unique highly reliable batteries. Today, these batteries can be safely recharged if discharged to zero volts and are expected to operate for over 10 years. These batteries were designed specifically for the BPB (Figure 34.2). 

Three years later at Sandia National Laboratories, Urbina et al. investigated the reliability of LABs recharged from a renewable source that provides power in... 

Inspect acid-neutralizing tanks and basins that service lab sinks regularly and recharge with correct neutralizing agent when needed.
