A Ventilation Indicator for Submarine Storage Batteries

Abstract

An instrument for the measurement of the individual cell ventilation of submarine storage batteries is described. It is based upon the principles of hot wire anemometry, is simple in construction and easy to build. It has been found to possess a stable calibration over periods of time as long as it has been observed. Details of its construction and adjustment are given. It is shown that with certain changes the instrument can be adapted to the measurement of many other types of air or gas flow such as wind velocity, air flow in ducts, air speed indication, etc. It can be used with recording electrical instruments in order to obtain a continuous record.
