Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods of using active braze techniques on beta-alumina. In some specific embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of sealing a portion of beta-alumina electrolyte, insulated collar and metal rings of a sodium-based thermal battery.
Abstract:
Ceramic HID lamps with improved thermal management having an adherent infrared reflective coating layer located on the outer surface of the vessel are described. They include a coating of a nonmetallic material proximate the first and second end portions of the vessel. Such coatings can minimize temperature gradients during lamp operation. Methods for preparing such lamps with improved thermal management are described as well.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods of using active braze techniques in high temperature rechargeable batteries. In some specific embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of sealing a portion of an insulated alpha alumina or spinel collar and a metal ring of a sodium metal halide battery.
