Abstract: Electrochemical cell systems (51) and electrochemical cell processes are described as applicable to power generation or electrolysis modes with systems that have a containment vessel interior space multiple electrochemical cell stack, stack inlet plenum (43) that can accommodate thermal expansion and contraction in an economical way and that can provide a substantially equivalent environment for each stack inlet as well as can include, if desired, either or all of a vessel external compression stack mount possibly configured as a cathode outlet manifold (111) configured as a stack mount, a fully accommodative thermal expansion-contraction electrochemical cell stack mount possibly configured with external springs (91), and even the possibility of an axial flow adjuster such as a gradation plate (99) for better operation.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a valve and an actuator. The valve has a portion movably disposed within a valve pocket defined by a cylinder head of an engine. The valve is configured to move relative to the cylinder head a distance between a closed position and an opened position. The portion of the valve defines a flow opening that is in fluid communication with a cylinder of an engine when the valve is in the opened position. The actuator is configured to selectively vary the distance between the closed position and the opened position.
