A storage battery that is comprised of nonaqueous liquid or polymerized electrolytes, which provide ionic conductivity between lithiated positive active material electrically separated from metallic lithium or lithiated negative active material.
Industry:Fire safety
A storage battery that consists of lithium ions imbedded in a carbon graphite or nickel metal-oxide substrate. The electrolyte is a carbonate mixture or a gelled polymer. The lithium ions are the charge carriers of the battery.
Industry:Fire safety
A storage arrangement where air movement through the pile is restricted because of 6 in. (152 mm) or less vertical flues.
Industry:Fire safety
A storage arrangement where air movement through the pile is enhanced because of vertical flues larger than 6 in. (152 mm).
Industry:Fire safety
A stoker that has a moving endless chain as a grate surface, onto which coal is fed directly from a hopper.
Industry:Fire safety
A stoker so arranged that refuse is discharged from the grate surface at the same end as the coal feed.
Industry:Fire safety
A stoker so arranged that refuse is discharged from a dump plate at the side of the stoker.
Industry:Fire safety
A stoker so arranged that ash is discharged from the grate surface at the end opposite the solid fuel.
Industry:Fire safety
A stoker in which the flow of air through the grate is caused by a pressure produced by mechanical means.
Industry:Fire safety
A stoker in which fuel is fed onto grates above the point of air admission to the fuel bed. Overfeed stoker grates include the following: (1) FrontFeed,InclinedGrate— Fuel is fed from the front onto a grate inclined downward toward the rear of the stoker; (2) ChainorTravelingGrate— A moving endless grate that conveys fuel into and through the furnace where it is burned, after which it discharges the refuse; (3) VibratingGrate— An inclined vibrating grate in which fuel is conveyed into and through the furnace where it is burned, after which it discharges the refuse.
