Abstract

Electrochemical systems with electrolytes common to all series cells have been plagued with the effects of currents shunting through the common electrolyte. Shunt currents can cause non-uniform cell performance, system corrosion and hydraulic malfunction. A mathematical analysis of shuntage has lead to development of electrical methods for elimination of the shuntage effects. Passage of appropriate currents through the common electrolyte will null the voltage gradients which normally would produce shuntage.
