Abstract: An energy storage system includes: a housing, in which volume-variable storage cells are arranged; and a device for controlling a temperature of the storage cells, the device being assigned to the storage cells. The device has contact sections for contacting the storage cells. The device has flexible regions for adapting a position of the contact sections to a position of the storage cells. The contact sections adjoin the flexible regions.

Abstract: An elastomer seal or gasket is to be inserted in a groove produced vertically on a support plane of a part, and tightened or clamped on an additional flat surface, with the seal presenting at least a portion of its cross-section (18, 20) including longitudinally a continuously variable shape, including fine side trips (42) spaced on at least one side and which are arranged vertically.

Abstract: An electrode module for a redox flow battery, includes an electrode (1) and a sealing frame (2), mechanically connected so that the electrode module that results therefrom can be used with no problems in redox flow cells.
