Water Loss from Storage Cells

Abstract

This report describes measurements of the water lost from a typical submarine storage cell by evaporation to the ventilation air under a wide variety of temperature and humidity conditions. It was found that the water loss increases rapidly with increase in temperature and with decrease in humidity. It is recommended that consideration be given to ventilating the battery with outside air which would have a lower temperature and higher relative humidity than does the ventilating air under present conditions.
