The HOPPECKE trak® air principle

When a battery is charged, concentrated sulphuric acid is formed. In comparison with "normal acid", concentrated sulphuric acid is heavier, and sinks to the bottom of the cell, resulting in acid stratification.

To cancel out this stratification mixing of the electrolyte is usually achieved through rising gas bubbles. In standard systems, this gas is produced by defined overcharging of the electrodes. However, this deliberate overcharging means increased energy and water consumption, extended charging times and higher temperatures.

The HOPPECKE trak® air concept avoids these negative consequences. Air is introduced into the battery right at the main charging stage. The rising air bubbles circulate the electrolyte, thereby preventing stratification of the acid.

In comparison with other mixing methods, mixing of the acid by in-blown air gives the greatest efficiency combined with minimal stress on the plate group, and eliminates the need for the otherwise necessary weekly equalising charges.

Up to 75% less overcharge

Users can achieve up to 75% less overcharge through trak® air electrolyte circulation and system-optimised charging technology.

Benefits that Add Up.

Reduced power consumption = Lower energy costs

Charging times cut by up to 3 hours = Higher battery availability + Fewer changeover batteries needed

Up to 70% less water consumption = Lower water costs

Battery temperature level reduced by approx. 10ºC = Longer life expectancy

Reduced mechanical load on the electrodes = Longer life in cyclic use

Compensation for the effects of mains power fluctuations through the use of regulated chargers = Avoidance of insufficient charging and of overcharging

Pressure-monitored charging factor adaptation to ensure full charging = Enhanced safety in operation

Capacity for intermediate charging without equalising charges = Extended duration of battery usage time

Compensation for varying battery charging performance through the IUIa characteristic = Ensures optimal charging throughout the whole life of the battery
