High-temperature protection layer of an alloy with a base of aluminum, chromium and nickel, particularly for structural gas-turbine elements of an austenitic material. The base material of the alloy contains at least 8 to 12 atom % aluminum and 28 to 28 atom % chromium with the remainder nickel, and at least silicon and titanium are admixed to the base material as additives such that at a temperature below 900.degree. C., a passive cover layer of chromium oxide, and at a temperature above 900.degree. C., a passive cover layer of aluminum oxide is developed on the applied alloy.

High-temperature protection layer

Electrochemical storage cell, particularly of the alkali metal and sulfur type having at least one storage cell with insulation around the cell to minimize heat loss, and an interspace between the cell and the insulation. A heat exchanger in the form of a closed hollow body is partially filled with a vaporizable medium. The heat exchanger has two heat exchange zones in open communication. A first heat exchange zone is disposed in the interspace for preventing overheating of the cell by vaporization of the cell contained therein. The second heat exchange zone is disposed adjacent means for absorbing heat to condense vapors of medium which flow from the first heat exchange zone to the second heat exchange zone.

Electrochemical storage battery

Electrochemical storage battery normally operating at an elevated temperature, surrounded by heat insulation to retard heat loss. The surrounding heat insulation is an enclosed gastight cavity under subatmospheric pressure to impede heat flow by convection, and a radiation shield in the interior of the cavity in the path of heat flow to reduce heat loss by radiation.
