Abstract
An electrolyte-circulating battery in which the electrolyte temperature is easily controlled is provided. An electrolyte-circulating battery includes a battery cell and a circulation channel that circulates an electrolyte to the battery cell. The electrolyte-circulating battery comprises a heat exchanger installed in the circulation channel and configured to cool the electrolyte; a bypass flow channel that connects an electrolyte inflow side and an electrolyte outflow side of the heat exchanger to each other so as to bypass the heat exchanger; and a flow rate variable mechanism capable of varying a flow rate of the electrolyte flowing through the heat exchanger and a flow rate of the electrolyte flowing through the bypass flow channel.
