Abstract
A self-compensating heating system for a reserve electrolyte battery which may be stored at widely varying temperatures and which has a storage tank for electrolyte to be supplied to the battery, a heat exchanger in a flow path from the storage tank to the battery, a laminar flow device which is viscosity-sensitive to control the rate of electrolyte flow to the battery, and a solid propellant gas generator which delivers a hot gas to the heat exchanger and with the hot gas flowing to the storage tank to operate on a pressure-responsive device for expelling electrolyte from the storage tank.
