Battery, Gravity
A battery of the Daniell type, in which the porous cup is suppressed and the separation of the fluids is secured by their difference in specific gravity. A great many forms have been devised, varying only in details. The copper plate, which is sometimes disc shaped, but in any case of inconsiderable height, rests at the bottom of the jar. Near the top the zinc plate, also flat or of slight depth, is supported. As exciting liquid a strong solution of copper sulphate lies at the bottom of the jar. This is overlaid by a solution of zinc sulphate, or sodium sulphate, which must be of considerably less specific gravity than that of the copper sulphate solution. In charging the jar one-tenth of a saturated solution of zinc sulphate mixed with water is sometimes used as the upper fluid. This may be first added so as to half fill the jar. The strong solution of copper sulphate may then be added with a syphon or syringe underneath the other so as to raise it up. From time to time copper sulphate in crystals are dropped into the jar. They sink to the bottom and maintain the copper sulphate solution in a state of saturation. Fig. 43. GRAVITY BATTERY OF THE TROUVÉ-CALLAUD TYPE. If the battery is left on open circuit the liquids diffuse, and metallic copper precipitates upon the zincs. This impairs its efficiency and creates local action. As long as the battery is kept at work on closed circuit work but little deposition, comparatively speaking, occurs. From time to time, in any case, the zinc plates are removed and scraped, so as to remove the copper which inevitably forms on their surface. Care must be taken that the zinc sulphate solution, which is constantly increasing in strength, does not get so strong as to become of as high specific gravity as the copper sulphate solution. From time to time some of the upper solution is therefore removed with a syphon or syringe and replaced with water. An areometer is useful in running this battery.
