Abstract: Methods of forming porous electrodes are provided, such porous electrodes, and thus the techniques for forming the same, having beneficial uses in conjunction with redox flow batteries. The methods include the use of phase inversion as part of the fabrication process. In one exemplary embodiment, a polymer solution is immersed in one solvent in conjunction with performing polymer blend casting, and then is subsequently immersed in a second solvent to induce phase inversion. The phase inversion causes two polymers from the polymer solution to separate, leaving one polymer as a standalone porous polymer and the other polymer with the two solvents in which the polymer solution was disposed. Post-treatments can be performed on the porous polymer to form a desired porous electrode configuration. The electrode can be used in a redox flow battery, for example. Various formulation techniques and recipes, along with resulting porous electrode configurations, are also provided.

Abstract: The PTO assembly includes an engine driven input shaft, an output shaft, a transmission, a disconnect unit for selectively coupling and uncoupling the input shaft from the transmission and a clutch for coupling an uncoupling the transmission from the output shaft. A lubrication system includes a shaft lube circuit for lubricating the input shaft, a pump, and a lube control valve for controlling communication of lubricant from the pump to the lube circuit. The lube control valve is operatively coupled to the disconnect unit so that when the disconnect unit is engaged the lube control valve blocks communication from the pump to the lube circuit, and when the disconnect unit is disengaged the lube control valve communicates the pump to the lube circuit. The lubrication system also includes a transmission lube circuit for lubrication the transmission. The control valve communicates lubricant to the transmission lube circuit when the disconnect unit is engaged and disengaged.
