Abstract
The invention concerns a method and an equipment for prevention of cooling of electrochemical devices (10). The temperature of the electrochemical device (10) is measured and, as the temperature falls below a certain preset lower limit (T.sub.minimum), an additional load (17), which is at least high enough so that the electric current that it produces heats the electrochemical device (10), is connected to the device. The additional load (17) is disconnected from the electrochemical device (10) as the temperature has reached a certain preset upper limit (T.sub.maximum).
